Odd rumor:
The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Toronto Raptors discussed a three-team trade at length Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The framework would send Cam Reddish and Alec Burks to the Lakers, Goran Dragic and draft pick compensation to the Knicks, and Talen Horton-Tucker and Nerlens Noel to the Raptors, league sources told HoopsHype. Kendrick Nunn was also mentioned as a potential addition to the trade talks, sources said. With New York trading away three rotation players in the proposal, one potential hangup in the trade discussion centers on the draft pick compensation for the Knicks. Toronto discussed sending a first-round pick, and the Lakers discussed sending a second-round pick to the Knicks, HoopsHype has learned. As conversations continued, the Knicks sought additional draft compensation
I can't believe the Knicks are already trying to flip Reddish.
Thibs didn't want him, and now he won't play him.
What are people’s thoughts on Reddish?
He is certainly a polarizing prospect in my opinion. He has all the “tools” to become possibly an all star level player, but I believe he became a net negative this season. His D seemed to regress, and has tunnel vision though that’s a problem for many young players. He’s certainly had huge scoring games this season, but it’s been mostly when several Hawks players were out due to injury/Covid. I think the Hawks made the right call keeping Hunter, if they had to decide between the 2. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddish bounces around with teams hoping he can take the leap, but maybe all he is, is an empty stats guy on bad teams. Still on 22 though, and easy to dream on realizing his potential. I’m not sure if he’s willing to put in the day to day grind becoming much better.
