SAY HEY, TREY: The Knicks have signed Trey Burke, the team announced, showing a photo of the point guard putting pen to paper on the contract.

Burke spent the first three years of his career with the Utah Jazz and last season with the Wizards, when he averaged 5 points and 1.8 assists off the bench in 57 games.
