Fournier spent 12 years in the NBA, split between the Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Detroit Pistons.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_vhkcbwqni\">Fournier spent most of his time with the Orlando Magic, playing there from 2014 to 2021. He went to Orlando in a trade for Arron Afflalo, then was traded to the Celtics for Jeff Teague. While in Orlando, he was there with current Chicago Bulls star center Nikola Vucevic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-mm-id=\"_ahoyaq585\">\n<p>Apr 13, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (9) receives a pass against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first quarter at Wells Fargo Center. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images \/ Kyle Ross-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_jixc40otl\">Vucevic took to X\/Twitter to react to the signing of his former teammate with sarcastic choice words.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_h5lvx4l35\">Fournier announced the signing on X, saying, &#8220;Olympiacos welcomed me like family. This isn\u2019t a new chapter. It\u2019s the continuation of something strong. Couldn\u2019t be happier to be part of this sacr\u00e9 club for 3 more seasons. See you all soon&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_pblm61ksh\">Vucevic quoted that, posting, &#8220;Feel sorry for Olympiakos fans having to watch this douchebag for 3 more seasons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_o5n59f14j\">\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Feel sorry for Olympiakos fans having to watch this douchebag for 3 more seasons https:\/\/t.co\/ESr5V7nQoY<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/NikolaVucevic\/status\/1949196736951357541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1949196736951357541%7Ctwgr%5Ef483cccf37ccf030ce00b93c137a6d5ed121e46e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnba%2Fbulls%2Fnews%2Fchicago-bulls-star-responds-to-ex-teammate-s-new-contract-01k14ac3geaw<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rbcfr9kax\">That&#8217;s how you know the two of them are good friends. Vucevic hadn&#8217;t posted anything since mid-April, and gets online just to diss his friend and former teammate.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_mhs9of1om\">Fournier is on a historic team, as they&#8217;ve won three of the last four championships in Greece&#8217;s Basket League, and have 13 championships overall in that league.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_koir1rda5\">Vucevic&#8217;s status is up in the air with the Bulls. He&#8217;s entering the final year of his contract at $20 million, and a trade seems unlikely at this point. NBA insider Jake Fischer mentioned a buyout could be possible at some point this season, as Vucevic is one of only two players over 28 years old on the Bulls.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_6cfn14amg\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former NBA player Evan Fournier signed a new three-year deal with Olympiacos BC in Greece this offseason after he joined the team last season.
