Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
The Knicks do this deal to move on from Fournier’s contract. It really is that simple.
After all, he’s got several years left, and he makes more money than his production warrants. This is a bad contract – the Knicks would do well to shed it.
If they can pick up two expiring contracts in the process, that’s even better.
The Knicks could opt to retain either Beverley or Nunn this summer, but they won’t cost the amount they’re getting paid now.

At the same time, Beverley is a solid veteran to have around. His tenacious defense could rub off on some of the younger Knicks. All told, this is a no-brainer for the Knicks.
In our opinion, of course.
