Fournier would be 2 seasons of ugly salary no one wants, an over-30 veteran highly-paid role player on a rebuilding team. Barrett will have to be very overpaid starting very soon (2023) with no good way to avoid it.
So if a deal happens, imo it's more likely to look like:
Picks (at least as many as Gobert fetched, and maybe one extra just because)
Rose (expiring)
Quickley, Grimes, and one of (Toppin/Barrett)
And that´s why everybody should apply to Rule No. 1
