1. Cam Reddish

Cam Reddish is wasting away on the Knicks’ bench. It’s been nearly two months since he appeared in a game for New York on Dec. 3. The Knicks have dealt with injuries since then that have called for Evan Fournier and Derrick Rose minutes, but Reddish has continued to reside on the bench.

It’s been over a year since the front office sent a protected first-round pick and Kevin Knox to Atlanta in exchange for Reddish, and since then, it’s been difficult to figure out why New York traded for him in the first place. After having a promising few games as a starter earlier this season, Reddish hasn’t been able to reclaim his spot in the rotation.

Knicks have received interest from several teams on a Cam Reddish trade

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the Knicks “have several standing offers from teams for Cam Reddish” that include second-round picks going to New York. The Bucks and Heat have expressed interest in Reddish, but Begley wrote that he’s heard from two teams that are “weighing two factors.” Those two factors are wanting to see Reddish play in a game as well as considering the fact that he’s set to be a restricted free agent in the offseason. Whichever team trades for him will need to be willing to pay him, or else there’d be little reason to trade for a player that hasn’t played in two months to only play in the last 30 or so games of the season.

It certainly hasn’t helped that Reddish has been sidelined for the past eight weeks. He could’ve at least gotten some time on the court when the Knicks were dealing with injuries, but instead, Thibodeau has opted to play Fournier. Reddish has a higher chance of being traded than Fournier, but it’s still hard to see New York’s decision behind not playing Reddish at all.

But with Reddish still being only 23 years old, a team could end up getting a steal for a low price. It’ll come down to being able to give him a new contract over the summer, but even then, the former lottery pick has still been labeled the likeliest Knicks player to be traded.

Seeing Cam Reddish go will be bittersweet, especially given the way that he’s been handled in New York, but it’s what would be best for him and the Knicks since the team has proven that he isn’t in their long-term plan.
