Evan Fournier has no interest in returning to the New York Knicks.

The shooting guard blasted his situation in New York in an interview with Yann Ohnona of L'Equipe, saying he is determined to be traded before the start of next season.

"I would be shot. I'm going to be traded, it's not possible otherwise," Fournier said of his career if he stayed in New York. "Or I'd be stuck, and so would they. They have several players with big contracts coming in. Unless they want to pay a crazy luxury tax... If I stayed, it would be a disaster basketball-wise for my career. I can manage a year without playing. Two... that would be terrible."

Fournier appeared in just 27 games last season, averaging 6.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 33.7 percent from the floor. He had averaged in double figures each of the previous eight seasons and was considered a reliable floor spacer and secondary ball-handler before falling out of Tom Thibodeau's rotation.

"You want to spit on everyone. You have hatred. Derrick Rose and I looked at each other and said to each other: 'What the hell are we doing here?' During the 5-on-5 practice, we were on the side like some prospects. Uncool times. And when I realized that wouldn't change, I took things more slowly," Fournier said. "I focused on myself and didn't let the rest get to me anymore. I did three cardio sessions, two weight training sessions per week, a lot of travel work, [analyzing] game situations with an assistant coach Daniel Brady."
