He left us to go play for our opps 💔💔💔💔
Unless they’re going to fold this into the Mikal deal, the path to avoiding the hard cap at the first apron gets a little trickier. If they’re not retaining Precious they could fold that into a sign and trade but as of now, he appears to be the best backup big option. Short of trading Deuce or Dadiet, that leaves one option which is to sign one of the second round picks to a deal slightly higher than the minimum and include them. So I wouldn’t get too attached to Hukporti or McCullar.
Edit: They can’t actually fold this into the Mikal deal because it’s only a 1 year deal
Now we know at least one random bench player that will score their career high in MSG next year.
Thanks MJ
Noooo our unexpected legend

Ur dead to me Alec
Thought we’re adding him to the Mikal deal.
Dead to me
DEAD
Pace yourself mate, don’t work too hard… might need you at the trade deadline
Burks your dead to me, I never liked you anyways
Thank you Alec, honestly you helped us out in the playoffs when I kinda gave up on you.
Good luck in Miami bro
PS- damn it we cant use his salary for S&T?

Et tu, brute?
Oh they want a top 10 pick BAD
Alec did good for us. But it’s still sad to see our team broken up this way. The guys that have left stepped up big for us when it counted. Thanks guys and best of luck!
Showed up in the playoffs when we absolutely needed him and I can’t forget that. He’ll be booed a little less than the rest of Heat roster from me.
don’t worry, he’ll be back
joined the worst team. goodbye alec.
I still have a feeling he’s gonna end up back here down the line lmao
Not gonna lie I hated when they signed him again but he proved me wrong during the playoffs.
Best of luck!
Fuck Pat Riley & Fuck Miami, I hope they have a miserable season, but I hope he can at least get his game going, put up his points & have a nice spell for himself over there.
He’s had his ups and downs over here, the point guard experiment was a disaster and he struggled to make an impact after coming back via trade, but I’ll always be fond of him for the season he had when we got the 4th seed, and his efforts in the playoffs vs Atlanta & Indiana. King of the fourth, Big Money AB!
A sign and trade was super unlikely, because a team would have to give him 3 years. The work around would be 2 non guaranteed years. But that doesn’t really benefit Burks at all, since if he has a good year he would be stuck for 2 more years at a team friendly rate.
Traitor! He’s dead to me!
j/k i don’t care
This is good for us. Alec is gonna go over there and fuck their shit up to help us. Double Agent Burks is his new name
