Woj: Knicks trade for Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovich

[NowWHYcee7]

Why would you replace Deuce? You're not beating Boston because of Burks and Bo, be real.

Who said he’s being replaced? He’ll still back up Jb.

I doubt it

Deuce is out for sure. That's the one big impact of the deal. Burks replaces Deuce

Kind of shocking because Deuce really was developing -- what's the point of "going for it" with Burks? He's a bum

You're never gonna find out who is good by playing the way the Knicks play ... to replace good young players who are developing with bona fide disasters like Burks

Idk….mcbride has proven he can produce and deserves minutes. Back when burks was running point for us the last time, it was out of pure necessity. That problem has been solved.

Nice trade if you ask me. Grimes was really a disappointment this year. He seems like a nice dude with a good looking jumper but no feel for the game.

[JayTWill]

Bojan and Alec are 2 useful players but I can't believe we just traded Grimes and picks for 2 ageing and declining non defenders after the Kemba and Evan experience. This better not end up like another Reddish,Fournier, Walker or even the last year of Rose where we spend money or assets just to have Thibs glue them to the bench and kill what value they have left because he does not trust them or their defense.

You know who's going to love Bojan the most? Randle & Hart, our two most frequent "oh **** I jumped and need an outlet to pass" guys. Dude will not just stand in place. He'll move off the ball. Professional scorer. Let's go

Knicks keep getting taller too which they needed to in all their deals

Great observation. They've done a complete 180 from this standpoint.

I think the defense takes a hit, however. But they can really permutate their lineups.

FYI the general board the the media are almost unanimously loving this deal for the Knicks. That never happens lol

[Strick]

cant lie though, our bench will be crazy once randle and og comes back

And Mitch potentially too

Brunson/Burks
Donte/Hart
OG/Bojan
Randle/Precious
Mitch/Hartenstein

With guys like Deuce and any buyout additions available as well. Team is pretty damn deep

LOVE this trade.

As someone who has watched Bojan's NBA career from day one, let me be very clear:

This man has the dog in him. He will be a massive plus to this roster offensively and won't disrupt the pecking order.

I also asked about Alex Burks a few weeks back if anyone had any interest, because he'd be a good rotation fit. Looks like Leon was already ten steps ahead.

This is a massive, massive trade for this roster, and once everyone is 100% I think the Knicks are a legitimate title contender.

I'm happy yall, I loved Bojan so to be able to root for him on the Knicks is amazing.

Leon Rose is executive of the year. No questions.

Agree that's pretty scary

Winner of the worst take of the day! Congrats

I can’t believe you’re looking at it this way. No criticism, just very surprising.

Hartenstein | Mitch | Sims
Randle |Precious
OG | Bogdonovic
DDV | Hart
Brunson | Burks | Deuce

Did I miss anything or is that the depth chart now?

[Gravy]

It wouldn't be a Knicks trade unless someone is really pissed one of the kids is gone and will be turning into a superstar somewhere else.lol

Anyways I always liked Grimes, good luck man..

i liked grimes a lot but i see the potential of how this can really make us a much better team once everyone is healthy. getting bojan is big and can prob put us in that same tier as boston.

The potential the team has now is exciting. Hoping Brunson, Bojan and Burks can play Saturday to see what that looks like.

Just like here, once Bojan was added almost everyone loves it. When it was just Burks for Grimes it was puke city

Championship roster.

Kind of crazy that we traded Barrett and IQ for OG to improve our starting lineup while weakening our bench but now after this trade, we have a better bench than we had before
