Hollinger had an interesting fake trade in his latest article. Fournier for Goran. No draft picks exchanged. Knicks get a mulligan and free up cap room. Fournier gives the Raptors depth they need.
I don't think the Raptors do this though. They appear to be in the market for big man. Although maybe they hope to rehab Fournier and re-sell him in a year instead of losing the Dragic salary for nothing?
For the Knicks, maybe they play 3D chess. Release Dragic and hope he signs with Dallas. Maybe Jalen doesn't like sharing some minutes with Goran. Ok, probably not, but it just hasn't felt like Fournier has fit in well with the Knicks.
He also talks Covington to the Jazz as a fake trade. Ingles plus picks. Something that caught my attention is he mentioned if Utah can put enough draft equity together. Says Utah have traded all their second round picks and you wouldn't trade a first for Covington. so it appears he may not be very expensive to get.
