Burks, an 11-year veteran, averaged 11.7 points and 3.0 assists for the Knicks last season, while Noel put up 3.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. Burks joins a crowded Pistons backcourt brimming with young prospects, including rookie standout Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, the No. 5 pick in this year’s Draft.
The Knicks, who also traded Kemba Walker on Draft night, have been widely linked to Brunson, an unrestricted free agent coming off a breakout season in which he averaged 16.3 points and 4.8 assists per game for the Mavericks.
