The catch is that it is Evan Fournier.

Where have you been ???
What happened to this guy? Seemed to start out last season fairly normally then fell way off after the first month. Looks like we have enough depth at his position at any rate.
He’s washed up or the coaches have mismanaged him. Take your pick or both.
We can't give him the minutes to polish his image before the deadline without cutting into development time, so hard pass.
The only position we have need in is PG, and I'm open to either Lowry or Conley, but I doubt Minny is interested in trading virtually their only PG. Barring one of them, scrap the consolidation trade, and keep either Bullock or Payne, and cut the rest.
Rumor: the Spurs may trade for Evan Fournier

Really, I don't care so much about the player in a consolidation trade. The point is to, well, consolidate salaries, but Fournier may gripe if he doesn't get played.
Is it a coincidence that he has the same agent as Wemby?
I think not...
You want to consolidate and have something to flip at the deadline. Fournier would need rotation PT to rehabilitate his image, something I’m not willing to do. His value is really low.
Otherwise, why not just cut three of the 4 excess contracts and flip whoever you keep at the deadline, either Bullock or Payne.
I guess I don't see any consolidation trade as a player teams will try to get for the player themselves, otherwise they'd already go for him. No one's going to drop $30 million in contracts to get Kyle Lowry for a stretch run, so it's not that different from Fournier, he's just a cheaper expiring.
So, yeah, maybe I need to rethink the expiring thing and just keep some of the smaller bits to get to teams that have lost players or find holes.
difference is lowry also fills a need. good vet leader, steady PG play with an outside shot and a willing defender, even if his play has fallen with age
They could do something like NO did last year, flip us a contract with more than this year remaining, plus some assets.
there's no indication that Lowry wants to spend his last few years playing babysitter to a lottery team though. i'm sure he would not want to be here tbh
miami might not have much use for a 37 year old point guard earning 30 mil when they need to fill out the roster. might not be up to him. unless he agrees to a dirt cheap buyout. i dont see him turning down 30 mil and retiring
of course, this all contemplates a lillard trade going through. right now lowry is the only PG they have with vincent leaving

He'll be flipped to a contender at the deadline, or bought out. He won't even be here a year.
What PG wouldn't want to throw lobs to Wemby for four months while collecting a hefty paycheck?
if anyone contender really wanted Lowry, they would have already traded for him though. zero chance the Spurs take on Lowry in any capacity, imho
the catch is he sucks ...
No one trades for stretch run/playoff pieces until February, when contenders separate from the pack. They can also send a non ending contract to us along with asset(s), something Miami probably wouldn't do.
they were shopping him all of last season
They're moving Herro who was their de facto starting PG.they were shopping him all of last season
that was because Gabe Vincent was emerging (and played more than him in the playoffs), while Herro also handled some point guard duty. now vincent is gone, and if they send Herro for Lillard, i doubt they want a 30 mil backup PG over some playable depth pieces that we can offerthey were shopping him all of last season
A week or so back there was a story where Fournier mentioned wanting to play with Wembanya
That's probably where this coming from.
I suspect the Spurs have zero interest
Big homie now that we have Wemby I have nothing to and moan about on ST!!! JK, but life has just gotten a little hectic lately. Looking fwd to the season though bro.
Lol! Just checking on you
