Report: Pistons Pursued Trade For Evan Fournier

The Detroit Pistons have reportedly pursued a trade for Magic wing Evan Fournier.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, a deal would likely have to include Reggie Jackson, who’s currently out with a grade 3 ankle sprain.

Fournier, 25, is set to earn roughly $17 million per year through the 2020-21 season.

Detroit pursued a deal for Fournier, but that would’ve been hard to execute without Reggie Jackson’s contract included — even if Detroit decided to include promising rookie Luke Kennard. […]

 

Detroit has remained one of the most aggressive teams on the early market, reflective of the Stan Van Gundy regime’s desire to win now.
