Okay. Bojan and Burks to the Knicks for Grimes, Fournier, Malachi Flynn, and two second rounders makes a LOT more sense than just the Grimes for Burks deal. – 11:26 AM

So Rozier to Heat; Anunoby&Burks to NY; Hield to 76ers; Tillman to Celts in notable deals involving Eastern playoff teams. At this point, trading a future 1st would leave Heat without a tradable first. And there’s no real sweet spot contract (unless hypothetically Duncan) to deal – 11:24 AM

I know Thibs like Burks, but had heard up until an hour ago they were valuing Grimes as piece for summer deal. Pretty high price to pay for 32-year-old on expiring contract (one he signed with Knicks btw) – 11:23 AM

NYK interest in Bojan Bogdanovic dates back to 2023 deadline. Sources confirm NYK has touched base w/DET on both Bogdanovic & Alec Burks. DET has been listening to teams on Bogdanovic. NYK/DET has talked about different draft compensation on Burks & Bogdanovic. Yahoo 1st on talks – 11:06 AM

Elsewhere atop the East, I’ve heard both New York and Philadelphia have had conversations with Detroit about acquiring *both* of Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks. At this point, all signs point to the Knicks still being involved with the Pistons, after Sixers found no progress. – 9:43 AM

From yesterday’s story, fresh intel that Philadelphia and Minnesota had registered interest in Knicks target Alec Burks.
TWolves probably out after acquiring monte Morris. But Philly a threat.

Today’s @BartAndHahn will have NBA Trade Deadline thoughts and reactions. May not be a sexy trade out there for #Knicks, but Burks (40% 3PT over last 3+ seasons) would be a seamless fit. Bruce Brown also a fit, tho would you give up a 1st? Watch the buyout market too! 👀 – 8:23 AM

He just drilled a bomb after Burks hit a wide-open 3.
Detroit has weathered the Kings storm so far. Lead by five with 5:53 left.
Sacramento has missed a lot of shots. 5/15 in the fourth.
Can’t imagine that holds. – 12:04 AM
