I’ll preface this post by saying that I never agree with anything Fletcher says. That said, am I the only one who likes the idea of Fournier here? You could send Hill/Ajinca and a 1st for him. You don’t have to worry about him leaving (Butler/Barnes/Middleton) as you would if with the three mentioned as he’s signed for a few years. He’s on a reasonable salary, he’s a great floor spacer and can be an adequate defender. You can then move Moore back to the bench where I think is his best fit. Next offseason, you’d have AD, Jrue, Fournier, Moore and Jackson on the books plus Niko’s cap hold. And hopefully work with Randle with a wink wink to give him bigger money the following offseason. Thoughts?

I love this dude. Tough as nails. Think peak Tony Allen with a better jumper. He’s got dog in him.

If the Pels dump Moore and Hill and the cap is a projected 108 million, the Pels would have a projected 54ish million in cap room with only Davis, Holiday and Frank Jackson on the roster. (About 54 million) I’d go hard after Jimmy Butler (max) and they’d still have room to pay Randle if he comes off of a good season under the cap. They also have bird rights on Niko. Plus exceptions, etc... to fill out the rest of the roster.

Seriously??? so one thing he says doesn’t come to fruition? People don’t change their minds? He called the 12:01 meeting. He called their interest in Niko years ago. You guys need to chill and grow a pair.
