Evan Fournier is now in Europe, but the former New York Knicks guard had an NBA offer.
Former New York Knicks guard Evan Fournier made his exit from the NBA earlier this week, signing with Olympiacos B.C. in Greece.
According to L'Equipe reporter Maxime Aubin, Fournier had a two-year deal on the table from the Washington Wizards. However, Fournier turned them down, citing that he didn't want to be "in a mentoring role" for a "losing team." Fournier played in 29 games for the Pistons in the home stretch of the season, but Detroit had the league's worst record with just 14 wins on the year.
As he goes to Olympiacos, Fournier will have a chance to be part of a competitive group of players that includes several NBA alumni, but none of whom have had a career as successful as the former Knick.
