The Knicks and Pistons reached a 6-for-2 deal, with the Knicks being the biggest winners
As the trade deadline draws closer, many teams are starting to enter the market. This season's transfer is coming to an end, and the Knicks and Pistons have completed 6+2 big contracts, respectively: Knicks with Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Fornier, Arcidiacono, and two second-round drafts, Bojan Bogdanovic of the Pistons, Burks, this is a very beautiful deal!
Over the last 28 appearances, Bojan has averaged 329 minutes, you can get 202 points 34 rebounds and 25 assists 08 steals and shot 468% and 41 three-point shooting5% and 77 free throw percentage9%, with an average of 3 shots per game1 three-pointer. The addition of Bojan has greatly improved the Knicks' offensive power, which will greatly reduce the team's offensive burden, provide more space for the team, and provide more opportunities for Brunson and Randle. Bojan's role in the Knicks is going to get even bigger!
Burks has played 43 times for the Pistons this season, all as starters, averaging 21 minutes. Burks averaged 12 per game6 points 26 rebounds 16 assists 05 steals 03 rebounds and he shot 394%, 3 out of 3, 401% hit rate and 903% of free throws. He has a high level of independent attacking ability, is a very strong substitute and is also a good centre-forward. His addition will give us a bigger bench thickening, more respite from the starters and play in the chaos"Odd Soldier"role. And after Berks goes to the Knicks, he will be more efficient.
This season, the Knicks were the worst team in the entire Eastern Conference, and in the middle of the season, with the transfer of Anunoby, the team changed dramatically, and their strength was greatly improved. So far, the Knicks are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a 33-18 record. After the Knicks and Pistons signed, their overall level and competitiveness have improved a lot, and the thickness of the team has also increased significantly, making them the most likely to compete for a championship this season.
On the Pistons' side, in addition to Grams, there are two second-round picks, both of which have no value. Gram is 23 years old and averages 73 points, 2 rebounds, 12 assists 07 steals. He's not very effective offensively, but he's very defensive, and he's still young, so there's a good chance he'll be a head coach, which would be a big investment!
