He may not be the most talked-about player in the league, but Alec Burks is receiving a lot of interest across the NBA right now.
According to Rob Murrows, the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Denver Nuggets are thinking about signing Burks.
In addition to them, the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Cleveland Cavaliers are also considering Burks.
What would he bring to the Cavaliers?

Last season, Burks averaged 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists on 42.4 percent from the field.
He did that with the Miami Heat, and, according to Murrows, he has shown interest in coming back to Miami.
But he could be moving on and finding a new team, and it sounds like several of them are looking at him.
Burks has been in the league for 14 seasons, starting his career with the Utah Jazz before moving on to the Cavs, Sacramento Kings, Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks, and Detroit Pistons.
He has become a reliable, steady, and experienced player at all of his stops along the way.
Burks started in 14 of his 49 games last season and could become a helpful bench player for the Cavaliers if they move forward on pursuing him.
Like all teams across the league, Cleveland is always looking to get deeper and have a more versatile roster, especially when it comes to the second unit.
Burks could definitely assist them with that goal.
But if the Cavaliers really want Burks, they’ll have to move quickly because it seems that he is generating a lot of buzz right now, so competition to sign him will be intense.
