The New York Knicks are bringing Alec Burks back for a second tour of duty in a trade with the Pistons, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. In the deal, Detroit will receive third-year wing Quentin Grimes and two future second-round picks.
Additionally, the Knicks will receive shooter Bojan Bogdanovic. Better yet, Detroit also receives the little-used Malachi Flynn, Ryan Arcidiacono, and also takes Evan Fournier off of New York’s hands.
Burks, 32, averaged 12.6 points and shot over 40% from three-point land for the NBA-worst Pistons. The Knicks traded him to Detroit for draft capital in July 22.
