Pistons acquire Alec Burks from the New York Knicks

The Detroit Pistons have acquired Alec Burks in a trade with the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Burks was moved from the Knicks to the Pistons with Nerlens Noel, a second round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, a second round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and $6 million for two second round draft picks and cash according to Brian Mahoney of The Associated Press. A major reason why this deal was reportedly made is because the Knicks have a hope of signing a major free agent and wanted some financial room in the salary cap era of the National Basketball Association.

Burks and Noel became the latest former Knicks to join the Pistons. They are joined by Kemba Walker, who went to Detroit on the day of the NBA Draft.
