The Los Angeles Lakers have been aggressive in their pursuit of Cam Reddish as the trade deadline approaches, and members of the Knicks organization have been doing their due diligence on Goran Dragic as the teams talk about potential trades, per SNY sources. One deal that had been discussed leading up to Thursday was a three-team trade involving Nerlens Noel and Talen Horton-Tucker to the Toronto Raptors, Reddish and Alec Burks to Los Angeles, and Dragic and draft compensation to New York, SNY sources confirm.

I don’t think Cam Reddish and Alec Burks would fix this Lakers season.
I do love the idea of the Lakers taking a crack at developing Reddish’s talent on a cheap fourth-year option in a contract year when I have no clue how they will find any forwards. Burks is solid enough too. – 2:48 AM

I’m seeing a lot of people ask whether or not Cam Reddish can legally be traded again in-season. The answer is yes. The Knicks just can’t aggregate his salary with anyone else’s. That is an entirely solvable problem. – 2:42 AM

From earlier: Like most NBA teams, NYK is probably considering several ahead of the deadline. Teams have talked to Knicks about potential Cam Reddish deals. I assume NYK wouldn’t move Reddish unless it’s for another top young player: sny.tv/articles/knick…9:20 PM

From earlier: a few notes on Evan Fournier, Kings, Julius Randle (whose averaging 30 pts, 10.7 reb, 6.7 assists, 41% from 3 in last 3 games), Tom Thibodeau/Cam Reddish/front office: sny.tv/articles/knick…7:04 PM

Dozens of trades have been discussed/considered by teams at this point. NYK’s probably considering several ahead of deadline. Teams have talked to NYK about potential Cam Reddish deals. I assume NYK wouldn’t move Reddish unless it’s for a top young player: on.sny.tv/LoquLLg3:29 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Barrett was still in game with 20 seconds left and he’s down, looking like he took a bad step and limping off the court. That’s why he should’ve been on bench for Reddish in a blowout. – 11:18 PM

All the other NBA games are over tonight — Cam Reddish a lonely nation turns its eyes to you – 10:23 PM

Reddish, on both ends of the floor, showing flashes of the enticing upside that makes scouts drool (and frustrates coaches)…
He’s such much more impactful when he attacks the basket – 9:48 PM

Cam Reddish just airballed a 3, and the look of disbelief on @Tony Jones‘s face was priceless. – 9:31 PM

With New York playing Cam Reddish tonight, they have doubled the amount of Knicks players on the court wearing a headband. – 9:30 PM

Cam Reddish sighting. – 9:29 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Knicks say Quentin Grimes is out tonight vs. Utah due to knee soreness. This development may open a spot in the rotation for Cam Reddish vs. Jazz. Reddish has played sparingly since Knicks traded for him last month. – 8:05 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Knicks announce Quentin Grimes (sore left knee) has been ruled out tonight vs. Utah.
Have to assume Cam Reddish soak up those minutes. – 7:47 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Opposing teams expect Knicks to check in on CJ McCollum ahead of trade deadline, as @Marc Stein said. POR had expressed interest in Jerami Grant; Teams expect NYK to continue to try to open up rotation spot for Cam Reddish ahead of deadline: sny.tv/articles/sourc…12:14 PM

More on this storyline

The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Toronto Raptors discussed a three-team trade at length Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The framework would send Cam Reddish and Alec Burks to the Lakers, Goran Dragic and draft pick compensation to the Knicks, and Talen Horton-Tucker and Nerlens Noel to the Raptors, league sources told HoopsHype.  Kendrick Nunn was also mentioned as a potential addition to the trade talks, sources said. With New York trading away three rotation players in the proposal, one potential hangup in the trade discussion centers on the draft pick compensation for the Knicks. Toronto discussed sending a first-round pick, and the Lakers discussed sending a second-round pick to the Knicks, HoopsHype has learned. As conversations continued, the Knicks sought additional draft compensation. -via HoopsHype / February 10, 2022
Given the Knicks’ record (24-31), it’s reasonable to assume that no player is off limits in trade talks. In discussions between the Knicks and at least one team, Cam Reddish’s name has been discussed. It’s unclear if the Knicks offered Reddish in talks or if teams asked about him, but the Knicks hadn’t immediately shut down the conversation, per sources. -via SportsNet New York / February 10, 2022
Michael Scotto: Sources: The Lakers, Knicks and Raptors have discussed a 3-team trade. Lakers get Cam Reddish and Alec Burks. Knicks get Goran Dragic and draft picks. Raptors get Talen Horton-Tucker and Nerlens Noel. There’s also a chance Kendrick Nunn is added to the trade as talks continue -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / February 10, 2022
