Knicks Trade for Cam Reddish

[ewing]

Been hearing about the supposed potential of Reddish since Duke. Still waiting to see it show itself with any regularity

He’s got the physical tools, but so have countless others

I kind of hope we trade him just bc I know he’s going to be frustrating and even if he has a pretty good season can you trust him? He’s going to be looking to get paid next off season.

Cam is not a starter. I would not like that at all lol. I didn’t like him at Duke, don’t really like him now

Unless the goal is to lose, actually tank. Then start him

Never been a fan either. I will say watching him closely in his little stint here I get way he excites people.

I understand it. Personally, I’m not as intrigued. He’s one of those “if he ever puts it all together” guys. And every time he has a good few games, you’re saying it’s his time. Then he fades again

Have no fear Cam will likely be traded during the summer so I won’t spend any more time discussing Cam.

Flim i'm tending to agree with you, but here's my but for all Knicks fans:

But why not when we are not competing see if we have a player on the roster who can jump out and we get lucky, why is it most Knick fans want that guy who developed elsewhere then go get him?

We should have gotten Brunson back in the KP trade just to see what he could do, they took Trey we should have taken Brunson, if he failed big deal it was a vet min deal, not like a Junior fail.

I would love a guy like Cam to grow and shine and fit with RJ for the future, how lucky would we be?

You can doubt him and rightfully so but he's shown enough flashes that a team like the Knicks should not hestitate to see if they found a charm for once.

another reason I don't want to see IQ or Grimes or Obi go either, these guys all have a shot at becoming good nba players and we have them already.


The best news for me any way imo, is Knicks traded a possible first for Cam so they will not simply move him to unload him so the trade if one happens has to make sense and be justifiable or you will need to find minutes for him, if he proves worthy then you figure it out, if not you move on.

Pretty simple math.

i'm also getting really sick of Rose and our FO, it's total BS to not address the fans at this point, the #1 franchise in the NBA and it's not because of the team or the FO or the players, it's because of the fans.

I agree but it’s not happening with Thibs. Front office should have just told Thibs play him and maybe we can flip him or we will have a future two way player for you. Thibs didn’t cooperate and then when Cam played he got injured. I have no expectation Thibs will play Cam enough next year. Trade the enigmatic Cam if he has value because Thibs will only lower Cams value going forward,

It's about time, slow to come around Knick fans are noticing how the Front Office got a free pass when they don't deserve it.

Cam Reddish logged between 23-28 mpg and never averaged more than 11.9 ppg. Nothing personal but he needed the ball a lot and that didn't work in Atlanta.

The Knicks already had two minute eaters with RJ Barrett and Evan Fournier, Reddish's minutes were roughly 14.3 mpg at 6.1 ppg. Cam needs to play but I dunno how you make the minutes work with 2 starters.

This trade was desperate ploy to see if it would have triggered Zion's group to force a trade. It's not fair to Cam.

The trade for Cam would've made sense if it was a straight swap of Knox for Cam.

Both players were considered busts by their teams but somehow the Knicks were willing to give up a 1st round pick in addition to Knox. Had it been a 2nd rounder I would've said fair but a 1st made zero sense.

Knicks got hosed yet again...

I'm not saying it was a good trade but dude barely played let's see how he does with a full offseason and training camp I'd say the trade is incomplete right now

[Dr. Detfink]

This trade was short-sighted. The Knicks FO specifically GM Scott Perry's first pick as a Knick GM was a bust, ready to leave UFA. Get the feeling the FO was trying to play 4D chess with Cam, RJ to lure Zion. Depending on who the Knicks pick, the SF of Fournier, Cam, & 11th pick might make minutes tough to space out.

Think the FO has wisely reconsidered, abandoned their original mantra of trying to make a splash.

I'm very curious to see where the Knicks go from here.

so now fans feel Cam is not worth a pick that was top 18 protected in 2022? Guess what happened? Yes Atlanta didn't get a damn thing in this draft.
Next year is top 16 protected so that is a crap shot and even if it happens Cam is not worth a gamble for a 17th pick at best two years later?

Guess none of you watched the playoffs when he was a key player for atlanta and he did some job defensively on an allstar player who's team went on to get ring.

So much to be critical of this isn't one of them IMO....Lets see how 2022 plays out, and lets remember these posts.
