    Pathetic. All of this is to save the owner money and Burks probably won’t get burn in the playoffs when it’s all set and done.

    Lord knows Morey exerted enough energy trying to move the Anderson contract.

    If this goes through, then Morey would have gotten rid of the anderson contract, a contract which others said required 2 firsts to dump with:

    A first and a second.

    He's deff better than Knight. The hard pill to swallow is the 1st which could be used for a much better more important piece. Oh well

    So has anyone actually seen Burks played this year? I saw he had a decent game against Boston tonight scoring 21 points and shooting over 37% from the 3's on the season. Doesn't seem like he had any injuries problem this year either since he played 50 games this season

    There might be deals out there where the other team requires an expiring contract, as opposed to Knight’s extra year.

    I feel like Morey has been linked to Burks for years. Maybe the analytics are high on him?

    Getting rid of Rhyno with only this price to pay is brilliant GM work.

    Ofc this brilliant work was needed to cover for the horrendous GM work when signing Rhyno in the first place to that contract.

    Burks can be a useful player, a wing who can shoot and can create his own shot something that is missing from this team, he would be an upgrade over Green and House.

    don't know much about his defense but he is a skilled wing offensively.

    I dont think he is a total scrub. He is a rotational player.

    Burks is good if healthy, but he's never healthy

    But I'll be able to wear my Alec Burks college jersey to games now

    It does clear up a roster spot for House, if that means anything.

    Even if that were the case, he's never healthy. Dude basically hasn't had a career. It's like Brandon Wright all over again.
