Evan Fournier — the seasoned NBA vet whose name you’re NOT supposed to Google even if he tells you to do it as a joke — wasn’t exactly the best NBA trade deadline acquisition made by teams last week.
That said, we’re talking about a really, really good scorer who had 19.7 ppg with the Orlando Magic before the trade and the hope was he’d take his three-point shooting with him to Boston.
His first game was on Monday night, and in a 115-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans … I’ll just say that I bet he’ll have some way better games than this going forward:

Better days are ahead, but between this and the Celtics underachieving overall, this can’t feel good.
