Alec Burks

The Knicks have all of sudden compiled one of the deepest teams in the league. With all the injuries we've dealt with recently getting Burks and Bojan today was massive.

If we get healthy by the time the playoffs start we could make some real noise this year. ECF if things fall our way, our starting lineup has been firing on all cylinders and now after the OG trade our depleted bench has been reinvigorated

Bojan is going to be huge for us, I've wanted him for years now, can't wait for the postseason

Dude takes shots like he’s Kobe Bryant and plays worse defense than Emoni Bates probably. Never want to see him on the court in a clutch situation again.

He’s a fucking knock-off Lance Stephenson

The last three weeks the man is shooting like he wants a trade to a contender. You have to respect it.

The “Veteran presence” was the worst player on the floor tonight with a -25 plus minus. Why is he on the roster?

I would be absolutely ecstatic with any of these guys. They all seem like players that are pretty coveted right now, so I worry if the Timberwolves will ultimately be priced out of the market.

Feb. 23, 2011: Acquired Deron Williams from Utah for Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and cash. This was considered a decent trade at the time, as Williams was one of the league’s top two point guards, along with Chris Paul. And as we all know, this trade was ultimately a disaster. Williams was an overpaid malcontent who ended up taking a buyout last summer after fleecing the Nets for a max deal. Favors has been increasingly productive as his career with the Jazz has evolved and is now considered one of the best PFs in the league. Harris remains in the league, though he is on the bench behind Williams in Dallas. Utah used the Nets’ No. 1 pick in 2011 to select Alec Burks, who remains a member of its young core.

Feb. 23, 2011: Acquired Dan Gadzuric and Brandan Wright from Golden State for Murphy and a second-round pick, which the Warriors used to select Draymond Green. Wright played in only 16 games for the Nets, who decided to let him leave as a free agent. The journeyman center has remained in the league ever since. Gadzuric also was let go after appearing in just 14 games for the Nets. His final stop the next season was New York, where he appeared in two games for the Knicks.

March 15, 2012: Acquired Gerald Wallace from Portland for Mehmet Okur, Shawne Williams and the Nets’ No. 1 pick, which Portland used to select Damian Lillard. King put top-three protection on the pick, but the Nets finished with the sixth-worst record in the league, and the Trail Blazers got themselves a stud who actually became worthy of the max contract he received. So in the space of 11 months, King gave up the picks that were used on Draymond Green and Damian Lillard.

Acquired Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, D.J. White and a 2017 second-round draft pick from the Boston Celtics for Keith Bogans, Kris Humphries, Kris Joseph, Gerald Wallace, MarShon Brooks, three first-round picks (2014 – James Young, 2016 and 2018) and the right to swap first-round selections in 2017. It will take years to figure out exactly how bad this trade ends up, but we know this much: The Nets are going to stink for the rest of this season and each of the next two seasons, and the Celtics can build a dynasty with Brooklyn’s draft picks if the lottery ping-pong balls bounce the right way. If there is ever a sequel to the Ted Stepien Rule, it will be known as the Billy King Rule.
