Evan Fournier has been a regular starter for Orlando since joining the team from the Denver Nuggets back in 2014. During his time with the Magic, the Frenchman has been the team's most consistent offensive force, and so far this season, Fournier is averaging 14.7 points, 3.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game.

Nevertheless, 247 Sports has stated that the Dallas Mavericks are among the teams interested in acquiring Fournier:

Orlando center Nikola Vucevic is also a Duffy client. Meanwhile, there are Mavs people who think very highly of Orlando’s Evan Fournier, and I’m told names like that make more sense to the Mavs than does rookie center Mo Bamba.

Evidently, a trade is unlikely now that the Mavericks have completed a huge deal to sign Kristaps Porzingis. It also makes little sense for the Magic to trade away a 26-year-old who is contracted to the franchise until 2021, so the Frenchman is likely to stick around.
