I know some posters on the board really wanted to have Fournier back, especially after the Celtics extended Smart.

I'm interested if the Knicks' failures coupled with Smart's recent improved play has changed that perspective.

I have zero interest in the C's bailing out the Knicks taking Fournier back.

I kinda feel like the Knicks are a darkhorse to bail the Lakers out of the Westbrook debacle.

My theory is Kemba/Fournier/Burks for Westbook + their 2027 1st rounder.

I haven't heard any rumors, just a weird gut feeling that the Knicks are going to make a panic move.

Sad to see Kemba crater as quickly as he has.  Dude is a class act and I like him, but his body has betrayed him.

That seems about right.

this wouldn't surprise me.  Westbrook on the move as he's once again identified as an on-court negative regardless of the stats and the Knicks desperate for star names and someone who can put up empty stats in hopes it might translate into wins despite that never happening anywhere Westbrook as gone.

immensely charismatic undersized point guard who plays well for the Celtics, including helping the team go on a deep playoff run, before suffering a sudden, precipitous decline.

I’d take Kemba off the bench if he comes for cheap. I think he’d be a great change of pace guard, regardless if he’s undersized

That's why Kyrie chooses to be a belligerant bafoon.

I don't find it funny at all for those two players, both were team-guys who gave 100% effort to help the Celtics win games while they were here. Especially Kemba, who has gone from All-NBA level to a journeyman late in his great career due to his body breaking down.

I hope only the best for both players.
Now, the Knicks obvious incompetence in the front-office, I am enjoying quite a bit.

Kemba and Fournier for Westbrook...

Or Kemba and Fournier for Kyrie?

Or maybe this could be a three way somehow.

I think the story for Kemba is his knees just wore out.  He was really good for a stretch with us.  Easy player to root for in my book.  Fournier is the one who is hard to figure.  We got to see him for what 1/3 of a season or so and he wasn't that good.  Not even close to what I expected based on his reputation/stats.  He wasn't much different in NYK.  There might still be a decent player there somewhere, I don't know.  If I were the Nets, getting Fournier and Kemba out of the Kyrie debacle could be a decent outcome.  The Knicks would get Kyrie on his option year.  Gives them a chance to reassess (yet again).
