The Lakers have come to terms on a contract with Cam Reddish, a forward they have been after for a while.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers have had the goal of running it back as much as possible with their current core, they also clearly wanted to add contributors.

They started the NBA’s free agency period on Friday by coming to terms with forward Taurean Prince, a 3-and-D player who spent the last two seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Los Angeles then agreed to a contract with Gabe Vincent, a plucky two-way guard who played a key role in the Miami Heat reaching the NBA Finals. It then kept forward Rui Hachimura on a new three-year deal.

The team also signed Cam Reddish, a 6-foot-7 forward who was a lottery pick in 2019.

The deal is reportedly for the veteran’s minimum salary.

Reddish hasn’t put it all together in four NBA seasons. He has a career average of 10.3 points in 24.9 minutes a game, but he has shot just 39.9% overall and 32.2% from 3-point range.

He spent the first half of the season with the New York Knicks, where he was benched for a long stretch before being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. The forward is a player the Lakers have had on their radar for some time now.

If he finally realizes his potential as a 3-and-D player, he could turn out to be a good value signing for the Purple and Gold.

Three free agency targets the Boston Celtics could consider

The Celtics, facing significant financial limitations, must make careful decisions in signing new players.

The Boston Celtics are exploring potential free agent targets to bolster their roster this offseason, and NBA analysts are working overtime to try to get clues about who might be on the move — and who might want to be. Such is the case for co-host of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast Gary Washburn, who came up with three potential options for the Celtics to consider: Derrick Rose, Cam Reddish, and Taurean Prince.

Rose still possesses the ability to make an impact on the court but remains injury prone with a controversial past. Reddish is a player with considerable potential, but he has yet to fully realize it. Prince is a versatile player who has the ability to knock down 3-point shots.

The Celtics, facing significant financial limitations, must make careful decisions in signing new players.

Check out the clip embedded above to hear what Washburn has to say about each of the three.

All the players linked to the Knicks in trade rumors

The Knicks are in a great position to make a deal. The type of trade, whether big or small, buying or selling, or financially motivated or not, remains to be seen. As mentioned in HoopsHype’s trade guide, New York’s stability this season, and its …

They have enough assets with their combination of tradeable first-round picks (up to four of their own and four heavily protected ones from other teams) and young promising prospects like Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin to trade for just about anyone. That was proven last offseason when they were close to acquiring Donovan Mitchell but held a line and ultimately fell short. The Knicks clearly want to acquire an All-Star while not giving up too much so they’ll have enough assets left to get more upgrades later.

Will New York’s pursuit of the next available star limit how aggressive they are ahead of the trade deadline? It’s possible. For example, according to Michael Scotto, the Knicks are unwilling to part with a first-round pick to get off Evan Fournier. He is owed $18.9 million for next season and is no longer in the team’s rotation. This could signal that while the team will be on the lookout for trades that improve the roster for this season, they won’t part with premium assets that would hurt their prospects in a future trade for an All-Star.

Below is a hierarchy of players they’ve been linked to.

Ranking the 20 most interesting NBA players who could get traded and where each may go

A look at the players who could be dealt by Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.

The NBA trade deadline is one week from Thursday, and while it might seem quieter than normal, there could still be a lot of activity.

Even if there isn’t a looming blockbuster move like when the Nets and Sixers swapped James Harden and Ben Simmons last season, there are teams around the league that could have an entirely different roster before the beginning of the All-Star break.

While there are some obvious sellers (e.g. Pistons, Hornets, Spurs, Rockets), others (e.g. Raptors, Pacers, Jazz) have slightly less clear intentions.

Based on the latest rumors and intel provided by insiders around the NBA, these are the players considered most likely to get traded — and where each player is rumored to go.

But remember: The trade deadline is always full of surprises. No one in the league predicted the Kings would have traded Tyrese Haliburton last season! So in addition to these players, expect the unexpected.

Lakers are reportedly trying to trade for Cam Reddish

The Lakers appear very interested in Cam Reddish, and the price may be right for them.

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.

Lakers are reportedly intrigued with trading for Cam Reddish

Could Cam Reddish be part of the solution to the Lakers’ depth problems in their frontcourt?

Many agree the Los Angeles Lakers badly need an infusion of depth and talent at both forward spots, and there have been plenty of rumors as far as who they may be targeting to address this issue.

Detroit Pistons sniper Bojan Bogdanovic has been often mentioned as a potential target, and L.A. has reportedly kicked the tires on some possible packages that could land him.

Another name mentioned is the New York Knicks’ Cam Reddish, a 6-foot-8 23-year-old who is thought to be brimming with potential. In fact, some in the Lakers organization may be a bit enamored with him.

Via Lakers Daily:

“Los Angeles Lakers fans have been anxiously waiting for their team to make a trade. Fortunately, L.A. is presumably still evaluating all of its options behind the scenes, and one player some people within the organization are reportedly intrigued by is Cam Reddish.

“‘There are people within the organization very intrigued by New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish — a 6-foot-8, 23-year-old wing — who would give the Lakers size on the perimeter, a massive need,’ wrote Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. ‘He’s also a former lottery pick, the kind of reclamation project the Lakers have had some success with this year with a player like Lonnie Walker IV.

“‘League sources say the Knicks are seeking a protected first-round pick for Reddish (they sent one to Atlanta in the deal to acquire him — and the (Atlanta) Hawks subsequently used it in their trade for Dejounte Murray). Reddish isn’t currently in the Knicks rotation, so the asking price is expected to eventually dip.'”

Reddish could develop into a useful 3-and-D player. However, in four pro seasons, he has never shot above 35.9% from downtown, and he’s down to 30.4% this season.

He hasn’t appeared in a game since Dec. 3; he has apparently fallen into head coach Tom Thibodeau’s doghouse.

The top 10 NBA players who may realistically get traded to the Lakers, ranked

Maybe they’re not trading for Zach LaVine. But who else could be available?

The Lakers had a recent resurgence, but still have a losing record this season. As of right now, they’re on the outside looking in on the playoffs.

Considering that they owe their first-round pick to the Pelicans in a swap, however, they do not have the option to bottom out and tank. Instead, with Anthony Davis playing some of the best basketball of his life, Los Angeles will likely pursue deals to improve their roster.

The NBA hot stove is starting to heat up fast. Many insiders believe that a trade is “imminent” for the Lakers, who reportedly believe they are only a couple of players away from turning this team into “legitimate contenders” this season.

It seems far more likely that Los Angeles pursues “smaller deals” involving mid-sized contracts like Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn rather than a bigger trade centered around Russell Westbrook and one or multiple future first-round picks.

That means that there could be multiple trades on the horizon, and based on what we know so far from all of the reporting, these are the most likely trade candidates for Los Angeles.

Lakers are reportedly targeting three sharpshooting wings via trade

The Lakers clearly want to trade for at least one forward who can light it up from downtown.

With nearly two months of the 2022-23 NBA season in the books, trade season is nearing, and the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to make a big splash.

They need improved depth at both forward positions, as well as improved 3-point shooting to get closer to becoming a true championship contender.

The team has won nine of its last 13 games and there is a sense it is finding itself, yet it doesn’t have enough pieces to maximize its strengths.

According to one report, the Lakers are zeroing in on three forwards they hope can plug some holes.

Via Lakers Daily:

“Los Angeles is reportedly prioritizing shooting in its conversations with other teams, which is obviously an area where the Lakers have plenty of room for improvement.

“‘Following a 2-10 start, the Los Angeles Lakers, now 11-15 and three games out of sixth place, have turned their season around and are seen as a key team in the trade market this season,’ wrote Shams Charania of The Athletic. ‘The Lakers are prioritizing shooting in their conversations with teams, and have discussed packages including salaries and a protected first-round pick for Detroit’s Bojan Bogdanovic, league sources, who were granted anonymity so that they could speak freely, tell The Athletic. They’ve also discussed concepts involving New York’s Cam Reddish and Evan Fournier, sources said.'”

Bogdanovic is someone L.A. has been interested in dating to the summer. He is having a career season, averaging 21 points a game on 50.8% overall shooting and 43.7% from 3-point range.

Fournier has been viewed as a disappointment by the New York Knicks, and although he has historically been a good 3-point shooter, his accuracy is down this season. Meanwhile, his teammate, Reddish, has been thought to have potential as a 3-and-D player, but hasn’t panned out yet.

Trade rumor rankings: Zach LaVine, Kyle Kuzma and more

HoopsHype ranks the five players who have appeared most often in trade rumors over the prior week, including Zach LaVine.

As we get closer to the 2022-23 trade deadline, we are back for another installment of the NBA trade rumors rankings series where we rank the five players who have appeared most often in rumors on our trade page over the prior week.

Finding a player on this list doesn’t mean they are sure to get traded, but there have been instances in the past where a player will make their debut in our rankings series and get traded shortly thereafter.

Below, check out our NBA trade rumors rankings, a list featuring the likes of Zach LaVine and Kyle Kuzma, as well as other role players.

Lakers and Knicks have talked about potential Cam Reddish trade

The Lakers may have interest in acquiring Cam Reddish.

The Los Angeles Lakers may have won eight of their last 12 games, but it is still clear they’re not close to becoming championship contenders.

One reason is their lack of frontcourt depth, especially at both forward positions.

Troy Brown Jr. has often looked like a mediocre player at both ends of the floor, and Juan Toscano-Anderson has barely played. Wenyen Gabriel, the team’s only true power forward other than Anthony Davis, plays with great energy and effort, but lacks basketball skills and is undersized at 205 pounds.

Reportedly, the Lakers have talked to the New York Knicks about possibly acquiring forward Cam Reddish.

Via Lakers Daily:

“It is notable, that Knicks youngster Cam Reddish has been mentioned in various trade rumors as of late.

“‘There was a report from the New York Daily News on Wednesday that stated Reddish and his representatives were working with the Knicks on a trade,’ wrote NBA insider Ian Begley. ‘Reddish said he wasn’t aware of that development and hadn’t requested a trade. Regardless, several teams have expressed interest in trading for Reddish since the Knicks acquired him in January 2022. The Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks are among the teams who reached out to New York in that span.

“‘It’s worth noting that the Lakers and Knicks talked earlier this month about a potential trade that would have required a third team to complete.'”

Reddish, a 6-foot-8, 218-pound forward, mostly plays the 3. he has shown flashes of what he could become, but the fourth-year man has thus far failed to put it all together.
