Everything to know about Knicks trade acquisition Bojan Bogdanovic
NY Post
Alec Burks already is familiar to Knicks fans, having previously played for the team for two seasons from 2020-22.
But here are six things to know about Bojan Bogdanovic, who was acquired with Burks ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline from the Pistons in a trade for Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier, Malachi Flynn, Ryan Arcidiacono and two second-round picks, a source confirmed to The Post’s Stefan Bondy.
1. The Croatian forward played the first three-plus seasons of his NBA career with the Nets, making second-team All-Rookie in 2014-15, when he averaged 9.0 points per game in 78 appearances for Brooklyn.
2. The Nets acquired his rights in a three-way trade with Miami and Minnesota on draft night in 2011, and they traded him for the first-round pick that became Nic Claxton in 2017.
3. The 34-year-old Bogdanovic has averaged 21.6 points and 20.2 points over the past two seasons with the Pistons, the two highest outputs of his 10-year NBA career. He is a 39.5 percent career shooter from 3-point range, including 41.5 percent — the second-best figure in his career — in 28 games this season.
4. According to Spotrac, he is earning $20 million this season, with a partly guaranteed contract ($2 million of $19 million) for 2024-25. The Knicks would have until June 29 to decide whether to set him free or pick up that entire salary, which would make Bogdanovic’s deal an expiring contract to keep or deal elsewhere next summer.
