Alec Burks Joins Miami Heat After Key Playoff Role with Knicks

Burks signs a one-year deal, impacting Knicks' trade flexibility and Heat's backcourt depth.

Burks' move follows injuries to several Heat players, adding experienced depth to their roster.
The Knicks now consider other trade options to avoid salary cap issues.
Burks' contract with the Heat is for the veteran minimum of $3.3 million.
