The Burks is back.
Free agent G Alec Burks has agreed to a three-year, $30M contract to stay with the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN.

The Knicks’ first official move of free agency was re-signing bench scorer and fourth-quarter maestro Alec Burks to a three-year deal worth $30M. For a team looking to strengthen at the wing and facing the possibility of losing both Burks and Reggie Bullock, this is a sensible deal for a player who provides depth, continuity (remember how much better Bullock and Julius Randle were in year two together) and was a Lenny Harris-level pinch hitter manning the point when the Knicks needed someone to.
