Nerlens Noel, Alec Burks Heading To Detroit
2 years agoThe New York Knicks are trading center Nerlens Noel and guard Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Knicks are also sending two future second rounders and cash. The move is likely being made by New York to free up cap space to sign free agent guard Jalen Brunson. Noel and Burks are due a combined $19 million this year. As for the Pistons, the franchise will be taking on a pair of expiring contracts with team options for the 2023-24 season. With the extra $19 million against the team's cap, it's perhaps less likely that the Pistons will be in on the Deandre Ayton sweepstakes this summer.
