Evan Fournier provided the essentials for the Olympic Games by having the right to turn back the courts thanks to his trade to the Detroit Pistons. The back of the France team was able to regain a little taste for competition and the rhythm of matches, even if he would probably have appreciated more minutes. Thanks to the preparation and training matches before the Olympics, the former Nuggets, Magic, Celtics and Knicks player should be able to bring what he always brings to the Blues: scoring and leadership. offensive. On the other hand, his club future remains uncertain, especially with regard to the NBA.
At the end of his lease this summer, Evan Fournier will only be hired again by the Pistons if the latter, who have just changed GM by hiring Trajan Langdon, activate the team option which they have at their disposal to the tune of $19 million per season. It’s very unlikely and “More Champagne” should be free in a few weeks.
ASVEL and Olympiacos on the spot?
According to Italian journalist Matteo Andreani from BasketInside360, Fournier would consider a return to Europe, 12 years after his departure from Poitiers to join the NBA. Two serious avenues are mentioned by Andreani: one in France, on the side of ASVEL, where Tony Parker and the front office would try to convince Evan Fournier to join the project, the other abroad, on the side of the Greek institution Olympiacos, which also competes in the Euroleague. Double reigning champion, the Piraeus team is qualified for the semi-finals of the championship and will attempt the treble.
For the moment, these are only rumors that the main person concerned has not addressed, he whose dream was initially to establish himself over time in New York, before falling out of favor in the eyes of Tom Thibodeau. Fournier will be 32 next October.
