Asvel and Olympiakos on the trackEvan Fournier ? This is the rumor that spread this weekend, notably during the Euroleague Final Four in Berlin. A rumor that could make sense since the Frenchman had a very complicated season and a half with the Knicks, where he was relegated to the end of the bench.
But the Frenchman's representatives, without commenting specifically on this rumor, confirm to us that a return to Europe is absolutely not the current priority for the Blues back.
Even if he will undoubtedly be a “free agent” this summer, since the Pistons can release him by giving up on the “team option” of 19 million dollars that they have on his last year of contract, Evan Fournier wants continue his career in the NBA, even though he is still only 31 years old.
With the Paris Olympic Games in the sights with the French team, the former Nuggets, Magic and Celtics have enough to raise his rating, and show that his offensive “punch” can still be of service in NBA, despite the failed and frustrating experience under Tom Thibodeau in New York.
