Knicks, Suns, Pacers discussed trade involving Evan Fournier and Cameron Payne
New York, Phoenix, and Indiana had exploratory discussions on a three-team trade where Cameron Payne would’ve joined the Knicks, TJ McConnell would’ve joined the Suns, and Evan Fournier and draft pick compensation would’ve gone to the Pacers, league sources told HoopsHype. There were also variations of the talks, which involved Jordan Nwora, HoopsHype has learned. Had the trade come to fruition, New York would’ve created a traded player exception of over $19 million. However, talks have since stalled.
