Source: Evan Fournier signing with Olympiacos for the next three years
I don't blame him honestly. He made a good amount of money here. He is pretty much relegated to riding pine for most of the games so what else would he want to stay here for except for that championship ring. In Greece he will be playing meaningful minutes in meaningful games. Liked when the Knicks picked him up and won't forget his first game in a knicks jersey against Boston.
Yeah, I think he had a good career, he was once a Boston Celtics as well if I'm not mistaken and one of their perimeter specialist and then move to NYK and still has that kind of shooting touch, however, he hasn't been given enough time to really show his talent.
But at least he still had a career outside of the NBA and most likely his showing in the Olympics could have been a big factor for him to be sign by olympiacos for the next 3 years and it could have been a good contract as well.
Agree to that, what he shows up during Olympics gives him that chance to get that contract outside NBA, it's better to take that instead of keep sitting down and watch the game, I mean aside from the money there's no reason to stay if he's not going to get that minutes and give him that chance to showcase his talents.
Though if in case that he keeps showing decent numbers from his new team who knows maybe another opportunity will be open for him all will going to depends from how he will perform.
