If you’re a New York Knicks fans that’s still holding onto the hope that Cam Reddish will stay with the team, it’s past time for you to prepare to say goodbye to the forward. Reddish hasn’t played in a game since Dec. 3 and with the trade deadline being only three weeks away, the 23-year-old is on his way out.
The Knicks have dealt with a series of injuries over the past few weeks, but Reddish has remained sidelined. Evan Fournier received minutes over Reddish, so that should tell you all that you need to know about the former lottery pick’s future. You can place the blame on Tom Thibodeau, but it’s been made clear that New York wants to move on from Reddish.
On Wednesday, NBA insider Marc Stein reported (subscription required) that along with the Lakers and Bucks, the Mavericks have expressed interest in Reddish. Stein wrote that the Knicks are reportedly eyeing Reggie Bullock, who spent two seasons in New York before signing with Dallas.
Assuming that Reddish will be traded to one of the three above teams, let’s rank each possible destination with No. 1 being the most likely team that he’ll be traded to. Of course, this is nothing more than speculation.
Where will Knicks trade 23-year-old forward Cam Reddish?
3: Milwaukee Bucks
For all of the Cam Reddish fans, Milwaukee would be an ideal destination for the young forward because he’d be in a position to play a key role off the bench for a contender. However, it’d be difficult to see the Knicks trading Reddish to an Eastern Conference opponent although the Bucks have several second-round picks that they could offer New York. If Milwaukee is truly interested in Reddish, sweetening the deal would help.
In theory, Milwaukee’s draft capital should make the Bucks the most probable landing spot for Reddish. Along with that, they could certainly use a 3-and-D wing and given the Knicks’ low asking price for Reddish, Milwaukee wouldn’t have to worry about breaking the bank for him. It would be a win-win scenario for a team that’s hoping to make a deep playoff run that results in a second title in three seasons.
After a shaky start to his career, Cam Reddish could end up thriving in Wisconsin.

<h3>2: Los Angeles Lakers</h3>
<p>The Lakers have been <a href=https://dailyknicks.com/2023/01/19/ranking-knicks-cam-reddish-trade-rumors/"https://dailyknicks.com/2022/12/09/predicting-knicks-derrick-rose-evan-fournier-cam-reddish-traded/">tied to Cam Reddish</a> for a while now and with Los Angeles amid yet another disappointing season, Rob Pelinka needs to make a series of moves. LeBron James delivered on bringing a title to the Lakers but after signing a two-year extension earlier in the season, LA needs to act fast.</p>
<p>With the Lakers being reluctant to part with their two first-round picks in 2027 and 2029, Pelinka should be more willing to send two second-round picks to the Knicks. Based on how things have played out in LA the past couple of years, Reddish’s struggles should be of concern, but with the right team, he could start to look like the player that many assumed he would be when he was drafted. Trading for him would be a low-risk, high-reward move.</p>
<p>The issue is that the Lakers organization has proven over the past couple of offseasons that they’re not committed to building a winning team. Reddish wouldn’t make Los Angeles contenders, but it could prove to be a step in the right direction.</p>
<p>If the Lakers can manage to get out of their own way, Los Angeles could finally end up agreeing to a deal with New York.</p>

<h3>1: Dallas Mavericks</h3>
<p>The Mavericks are the latest team to show interest in Cam Reddish and because of what Marc Stein reported, it seems as if New York would prefer to make a deal with Dallas. Why? Well, because of <a href=https://dailyknicks.com/2023/01/19/ranking-knicks-cam-reddish-trade-rumors/"https://dailyknicks.com/2023/01/18/knicks-reportedly-eyeing-former-shooter-potential-cam-reddish-trade-bullock/">Reggie Bullock</a>. Marc Stein wrote that the Knicks “are angling for Dallas to send Thibodeau favorite Reggie Bullock to New York in a Reddish deal.”</p>
<p>Although there was a point earlier in the season when the Knicks were in the midst of a losing streak that made it seem as if Thibodeau would be fired midseason, New York now being in playoff range eliminates that possibility. The front office seemingly values Thibodeau’s opinion and bringing Bullock back to NYC would be a typical Knicks move.</p>
<p>The problem is that although Bullock has been struggling this season, the Mavericks hold him in “high regard” according to Stein. He was a double-digit scorer for Dallas last year in the playoffs, but the Mavericks have managed to be the No. 5 team in the West with his inconsistent production. Bullock has a partially guaranteed contract for 2023-24 before he’ll hit free agency again, so moving on from him is something that the Mavericks at least need to consider.</p>
<p>Dallas’ roster is made up of several former New York players, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see history repeat itself with yet another trade between the two organizations. As mentioned, a trade with the Mavericks is likely the route that the Knicks want to pursue most because of Bullock. Be on the lookout for yet another Knicks-Mavericks trade notification to pop up on your phone sometime in the next couple of weeks.</p>
