According to Celtics team reporter Brian Robb, the Celtics rejected the Knicks' offer for Burks earlier this month. The Knicks hope that the Celtics will help them absorb Burks' contract of approximately US$10 million, and may give the Celtics a second-round pick as compensation.
In last year's Fournier sign-and-trade deal, the Celtics received a $17.1 million trade exception and could directly take Burks' contract. This trading exception will expire on July 18, local time.
Burks has two years and $20 million left on his contract, with a team option for the second year. He underwent foot surgery in the offseason and may not be able to make it to training camp.
This season, Burks averaged 11.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal per game for the Knicks.
