Alec Burks is still on New York’s radar at the moment. The Knicks can offer Detroit draft compensation and a package of players to get Burks. There is an element of familiarity here because Burks played — and played well — for Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks in 2020-21. I would expect New York and Detroit to remain engaged on Burks as we get closer to Thursday at 3 p.m.

Williams might have to read Sasser, Burks and Thompson for longer than he likes.
They’re making plays. – 4:54 PM

With Duren in foul trouble and Gallo going for a long stretch here, Wiseman is about to check in.
A Morris layup and Burks 3 has Detroit down by five. – 4:43 PM

More on this storyline
The Timberwolves have also expressed interest in guards Delon Wright and Alec Burks, league sources told HoopsHype. So who could be on the move if Minnesota lands that coveted backup point guard? Rival executives are monitoring Timberwolves bench players Wendell Moore Jr., Shake Milton, and Troy Brown Jr. as potential trade candidates heading into Thursday’s deadline. -via HoopsHype / February 5, 2024
Veterans Bogdanović and Alec Burks continue to have strong interest around the league, per league sources, but Detroit is still leaning toward keeping both unless an offer featuring good picks and/or solid players comes to the table. -via The Athletic / February 5, 2024
Coach Monty Williams has spoken highly of Burks’ leadership and recently called him one of the best veterans he has been around. Burks is a pending unrestricted free agent and target for contending teams, but the Pistons aren’t eager to part with him, per sources. It would take a strong offer. -via Detroit Free Press / February 4, 2024
