1. Evan Fournier
Fans were honestly surprised that Evan Fournier wasn’t traded at this year’s deadline, so it would really make sense to see him finally go this offseason. Fournier even said himself that he doesn’t expect to be with the Knicks next season.
"You know I'm not gonna be back. There's no way they're gonna keep me. I would be very surprised if they do. So we'll see. It's obviously not in my hands, though."

Fournier’s tenure with New York has been far from ideal and while fans respect him as a person, they should also be glad to see him go. Not only will trading him likely open up some cap space, but the Knicks could also pair his contract with someone like Toppin’s in order to trade for a role player on a bigger contract.
The return for Fournier alone likely won’t be much at all, which is why fans very well could see him be part of a much bigger deal to match salaries. Regardless, the odds of him returning next season are slim to none.
When Fournier signed with the Knicks, many thought the team was getting one of the best three-point shooting wings in the league. However, what they got instead was an inconsistent offensive threat who was also a liability defensively. Hopefully, Fournier can make it work wherever he goes next.
