The Los Angeles Lakers are interested in Evan Fournier

In need of 3-point shooters and ranked in the second half of the West (W11-15) despite a slight improvement lately, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking for one or more drill specialists. According to The Athletic journalist Shams Sharania, the Californian franchise is interested in Jae Crowder (on his Phoenix debut), Bojan Bogdanović, Cam Reddish o bis Eva Fournier. The latter two are no longer part of the rotation in New York and a departure looks like the only way out to revive their careers. In the NBA for ten years, Eva Fournier (1.98m, 30 years old) hasn’t played since November 13th. Despite his difficult start to the season (6.9 points on 34.4% shooting success, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 20 minutes), he represents a quality veteran in the top flight, especially in terms of 3-point shooting ability (38% in career). Only his contract ($17 million per season) can be a problem for a franchise that goes further salary cap of 48 million dollars.
