Burkes' injury is interesting. Without his injury, I think he would have a lot of interest from other teams. Knicks may even get a small asset back. He has had multiple leg surgeries so those teams who may have been interested may want to hold right now. Especially if he is out until training camp.
Noel is also interesting. If you catch him at the right time, you really feel his defensive presence when he is on the floor. But he is always hurt and his numbers are very pedestrian. He too only has one year left on his contract, but at almost 10 million that is no mans land for non elite centers.
I would imagine they could find takers for both, but it may cost them some kind of asset. It will be interesting.
