The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to several trade targets, and one of them has been New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish.
The Lakers badly need functional depth in the frontcourt, especially at both forward positions, and Reddish at least fits that profile. He is 6 feet, 8 inches and weighs 218 pounds.
With the NBA trade deadline about three weeks away, it will soon be time for them to decide whether to trade at least some of their assets in an attempt to win now or to punt the season and hope for a miracle this summer.
According to Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, L.A. is pushing to land Reddish in return for guard Kendrick Nunn.
Via Heavy.com (h/t Lakers Daily):
“The Lakers have been pushing to acquire little-used Knicks wing Cam Reddish, and word is that Nunn would be a chip in that deal, with a third team potentially involved.”
Reddish is a player some fans have badly wanted for a while. He hasn’t played since Dec. 3, because head coach Tom Thibodeau has removed him from the rotation. In three prior seasons, he showed some potential to be a productive 3-and-D wing.
Interestingly, the Knicks have taken off without him, improving from 10-13 to 25-20.
