‘Bad Attitude’? Knicks’ Cam Reddish Trade Idea to Mavs Hits A Snag

DALLAS – If the Dallas Mavericks actually wish to purchase Cam Reddish in commerce from the New York Knicks, and if they’re prepared to half with the specified first-round decide, perhaps one impediment has been cleared: There doesn’t appear to be a lot trade-minded competitors for the ahead.

An Jap Convention GM informed Heavy.com’s Sean Deveney that the Knicks gained’t contemplate buying and selling Reddish until they get a first-round decide again within the deal.

The logic?

“They gave up a first-round decide to get him to New York so there is no such thing as a approach they’re going to ship him out for something lower than a first-round decide in return,” mentioned the GM.

This comes on the heels of the 6-8 Reddish reportedly just lately having requested a commerce from the Knicks as he enters the ultimate 12 months of his rookie deal. He is simply 23, so the previous lottery decide certainly continues to be thought-about a “prospect” of types.

However there may be one other situation. The GM supply thinks the “unhealthy angle” of Reddish can be problematic.

“I’m not going to surrender a first-rounder for an angle like that,” the GM mentioned. “He performed, what, quarter-hour a sport for the Knicks? And he desires a commerce? Neglect it.”

DallasBasketball.com and Inside The Spurs’ Grant Afseth has tossed the San Antonio Spurs into the combo, and our man Afseth makes the argument Reddish may discover enjoying time there.

“With Reddish being restricted in his position early in his NBA profession, he would have the best likelihood to showcase his skills he’s confronted,” he wrote. “There isn’t a clear-cut, confirmed shot creator within the Spurs’ offense, so Reddish displaying dynamic traits could be wanted.”

If Reddish really has “dynamic traits,” any Dallas curiosity could be justified. But when he really has a “unhealthy angle”? The Luka Doncic-led Mavs in all probability don’t have the abdomen for that.
