The New York Knicks are ready to make some big roster moves over the summer. According to reports, the Knicks are trying to move Alec Burks to free up the cap space for a big free-agent signing.
Alec Burks underwent foot surgery, but is expected to return for the start of training camp. Burks has been solid for the Knicks in his two seasons with the team, averaging 12.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. He's a reliable scorer from 3-point range, shooting 40.4% last season.
The Knicks apparently tried to trade the former Golden State Warriors guard to the Indiana Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but his foot surgery initially scuppered their plans.
Burks has two more years left on his contract. He will be paid $10 million next season, and $10.5 million in 2024, if the team he is on accepts the Team Option.
Jalen Brunson may sign with the New York Knicks this summer
After a fantastic season with the Dallas Mavericks, Jalen Brunson is one of the top free agents this summer. The New York Knicks have been trying to clear up their cap space to sign him.
Brunson averaged 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in Dallas last season, establishing himself as one of the best players on the team. He was also a very efficient scorer, shooting 50.2% from the field.
Earlier this week, the Knicks traded Jalen Duren and Kemba Walker to the Detroit Pistons, clearing up cap space.
Jalen Brunson has made only $6.1 million so far in his four-year NBA career, yet his market value is much higher. According to reports, the Knicks are willing to offer a four-year $100 million contract to the guard.
Considering that the Dallas Mavericks got incredible production from Brunson, they may also look to re-sign him this summer.
In the past 10 years, the Knicks have advanced to the playoffs only three times. They lost in the first round twice and the second round once.
Even though the Knicks' front office has made some head-scratching decisions over the past few seasons, brining in Brunson would be a step in the right direction.
Guess the Lakers players!
