The New York Knicks have traded for Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, previously with the Detroit Pistons, as part of a strategic move to bolster their roster for a top seed in the Eastern Conference. In return, the Pistons received Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier, who has an $18.9M and $19M contract with a team option, Malachi Flynn, Ryan Arcidiacono, and two future second-round draft picks. Burks, who has played under Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau before, joins a Knicks team that has also added OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa through trades. Bogdanovic's contract with the Knicks is $20M and $19M with $2M guaranteed.
Hearing Pistons plan on keeping Grimes, not rerouting him -- and for the Knicks the Bogey part of deal gives them a useful player now a player who fits even better in Fournier trade chip mold.

Very happy for Knicks fans and New Yorkers. They're gonna make for an interesting Spring. (NYK should start Bojan). https://t.co/N1d5i90foY
This is such a weird feeling: the Knicks are one of the smartest teams in the NBA. What a time.
Love the moves the Knicks have made to deepen that rotation.
And Bogdanovic, of course, goes to Knicks as part of Burks deal. So Knicks add 3 good players, at cost of Barrett, Grimes, Quickley, etc. https://t.co/IzD2gprZhl

The Knicks are big winners. Needed more scoring and Bogdanovic and Burks fit perfectly next to the engines Brunson and Randle. Both can get hot. Both can create if needed at some time or another to give Brunson a breather. Crazy how deep New York is now.
