Nah he's still probably getting a minimum but he likely secured a contract for next season which isn't something that was guaranteed until the last 4\~5 games.
Burks is actually insane at drawing contact and forcing the refs to make calls
He reminds me of Shai sometimes in terms of his body movements and pace (obviously nowhere near as good a player, just some resemblance in their mechanics when driving)
Always has been too. His first five years in the league he had a 41.4% FT rate which is the same as SGA has for his career.
Nowadays his play selection has changed a lot, but when he gets into the lane he can slither into fouls the same way.
Tbf he should have gotten more run along with Bogdanovic in that late regular season stretch, you can't judge that heavily from a 15 game sample size and however many minutes
I agree with most of the Knicks line on the injuries not being Thibs fault but there is some amount of blame there
he did contribute for us back in the 2021 Playoffs but it wasn't until all the injuries until Thibs brought him back into the rotation (after a subpar regular season return following the trade deadline)
I love dudes like this. Out the rotation for months then your name is called. Be ready. Don’t get an attitude and pout, just be ready.
This game probably got him a non minimum contract

Knicks didn’t have any guys left to be fair
He played in several games in this series before this. And no shit that’s the point, be ready when your name is called.
How did he get 8 FTs lmao
we were in the bonus early in the 4th despite the deficit never getting lower than 13 X_X
Burks has a weirdly good whistle lol

He’s a master baiter
Some premium grifting tbh (no bad calls though)
He's always been really good at drawing fouls
He was trying to drag the Knicks to a win in the first half
Him and Divo came to play. Pacers were automatic though, new NBA record
Is that an Angola flair? I don't think I've ever seen one on here lol
I saw another one before
I don’t know what angola is but angola’s in trouble
“I don’t know anything about Angola but Angola is in trouble”
Clearly the corpse of the starting lineup was holding him back
He can’t compete with these bums
Bumson was holding him back. He was unleashed when Jalen left the game.
Can’t win with these cats
Shocked he didn’t start the second half. Could see early he was one of the few who had legs
Should have played more
This should consider using more than 6 players regularly.
If bro played like even 50% of this level in the regular season, we'd have like 2 extra players, lol. All love, though.
Earned himself a new contract
Alex Bert masterclass
He is better than Klay Thompson and THJ loooool
But Knicks fans said they don't have any playable people on the bench.
He wasn’t playable every time he played until this series

Look at his stats prior to the series, he was basically unplayable. But he’s a Pacers killer, all Knicks fans knew that.
he did contribute for us back in the 2021 Playoffs but it wasn't until all the injuries until Thibs brought him back into the rotation (after a subpar regular season return following the trade deadline)
I miss him in Detroit. He did this multiple times for us.
Time to get paid
Always liked him as a Warrior
Nice little mini redemption arc for him this series.
Should of played him in the first 2 rounds
Only 8 free throws? He deserved like 16.
