The New York Knicks, under the leadership of Leon Rose, have executed a strategic move on Trade Deadline Day by acquiring sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, enhancing the team's competitiveness without sacrificing future prospects. The trade, which has been lauded for its savvy, positions the Knicks as a tough opponent, especially with a Jalen Brunson-esque incremental rise. Coach Tom Thibodeau and player Josh Hart have expressed excitement about the new additions, with Hart noting the players' readiness for Thibodeau's demanding style. Bogdanovic's ability to 'shoot lights out' is expected to mesh well with the team's culture, and both he and Burks confirmed their participation in the next game against Indiana, adding postseason experience to the roster.
Tom Thibodeau on if either Burks or Bogdanovic is starting: “They could be.”
Burks and Bogdanovic said that they will play tonight vs. Indiana.
Bojan Bogdanovic on getting used to his new team: “What’s going to acclimate us the best is winning … we’re here to do whatever Thibs wants to do.”
Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic both say they will play tonight.
Bojan Bogdanovic at his introductory press conference: "I played with the Nets but all my friends are New Yorkers and they're all Knicks fans, so it's exciting for them, as well."

Yesterday’s trade for Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks is just the latest in a string of savvy moves for the Knicks. And a well-run Knicks team is a threat to the rest of the Eastern Conference. @seeratsohi declares: The Knicks are so, so back. https://t.co/MwcDYLpQSX

Column: Leon Rose managed to make the #Knicks better in the short term — and a team, when healthy, that nobody will want to face in the spring — without sacrificing the opportunity to take a big swing in the summer. That’s a well-played Trade Deadline Day. https://t.co/TBbkXmVosX
