The New York Knicks are reportedly considering a trade to reacquire Alec Burks, currently with the Miami Heat, to bolster their backcourt depth, which has been lacking since they traded Immanuel Quickley. Knicks insider James Edwards III suggests that while this move may not significantly alter the team's dynamics, it could provide needed shot creation and familiarity with the Knicks' system. Edwards proposes sending Jericho Sims and a future second-round pick to Miami for Burks.

Burks, who has previously played for the Knicks, struggled to meet reserve expectations upon his return last season. Nonetheless, his experience with the team could be beneficial, especially given the current struggles of the Knicks' bench.
