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.
The scary thing about that 3D chess is moving Fournier for an expiring is enough to get NY the space needed to sign Brunson in the summer. We need NY to be a buyer (McCollom?), not a seller.
