A discreet signing for the Heat, but the arrival of Alec Burks will definitely be useful off the bench in Miami. His offensive abilities could do the Heat some good. second unit.
He only stayed a few months with the Knicks.
Alec Burks has decided to get some sun and play in Miami next season. After going 28 straight losses with the Pistons early in the season, Burks finally got his comeuppance when he was traded to New York, notably in exchange for Evan Fournier. With the Knicks, he struggled more than he did between 2020 and 2022, but still provided options, notably during OG Anunoby’s injury in the conference semifinals. Now, he’ll continue his journey in Florida.

The amount of the contract is not yet known at this time, but there is no doubt that it should not put too much strain on the finances of his new franchise. With his arrival, the Heat ensures a good dose of scoring off the bench, to hope to go higher than the first round of the Playoffs, and return to the NBA Finals, as in 2020 and 2023.
Alec Burks can catch fire quickly, with 10.4 points at 37.6% from afar on average over the whole of last season. In any case, the player should get used to victory, to forget his sad years spent on the Detroit side.
A great pick for the Heat, who are finally launching their free agency, and probably at a lower cost, Erik Spoelstra will definitely know how to use his new toy wisely, as he always has.
