"It's like I have a concussion," 28-year-old Fournier told reporters after the Celtics' 129-119 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
"Right now, it's actually doing a little bit better. But at first it's like the bright lights were bothering my eyes and my vision was blurry and everything was just going too fast for me.
"At times, I'm really struggling to focus and my eyes keep struggling to focus on one thing. My depth perception is really bad right now. But I saw a specialist, she gave me some exercises and hopefully it will get better."


Started of really bad but has been a lot better in the last few weeks. 13/3/3 since the trade. Shooting 46% from three on nearly six attempts. 19/4/5 in may.

It’s certainly something I’ve considered introducing into the discussion after the playoffs are over as we turn our focus even more to retrospective evaluation and team building.

I try not to go overboard on being overly critical of Josh Richardson because I know he had it, and I suspect a lot of NBA players are still dealing with long term symptoms.  At the same time, his offensive numbers this year aren't really far off from last year (or his career averages really).

Do the Collins deal first and re-sign THJ

Luka / Brunson
Brogdon / THJ
DFS / Green
Collins / DFS
Turner / Powell / WCS

Holmes is putting up 14/8/1.5 this year as a full-time center. Powell's career-best year is 10/5/0.5 and he can't play full-time center as we've seen repeatedly.

For a moment we ignore that Lavine has already decided he only wants to play for Dallas.

You can only afford one guy on the floor who can’t shoot from range.

Now we have his other client Myles Turner sitting out there.

Now the question becomes whether the Mavs can build an over the cap package that is attractive enough for the Pacers? Something around Kleber/Green maybe? Does Richardson have any value? What about a S&T for THJ element?
