Knicks’ Jalen Brunson had a perfect reaction when he learned that he was reuniting with Josh Hart

Ladies and gentlemen, your Villanova Knicks!

A lot has changed in the world since Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson won an NCAA championship together for Villanova in 2016.

Hart, who was selected in the 2017 NBA Draft, has now played for three different NBA franchises (Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, and the Portland Trail Blazers) since then. He is now making his way to his fourth professional team as part of a deal with the New York Knicks.

While on the Knicks, Hart will reunite with Brunson, his former collegiate teammate. Brunson would go on to win a second collegiate national title at Villanova in 2018 before turning pro and hearing his name called in the draft later that season.

Brunson coincidentally returned to the Villanova campus on Tuesday evening for a jersey retirement ceremony, which is actually where he was when he got the news that Hart was traded to New York.

The 6-foot-2 guard was clearly thrilled to reunite with his former collegiate running mate and he couldn’t hold back the excitement. Mikal Bridges, the Phoenix Suns wing who was a freshman on that Villanova roster, was also happy to see his teammates reunite:

Ryan Arcidiacono, who was named Big East co-Player of the Year in 2015 and NCAA basketball tournament Most Outstanding Player in 2016, was also teammates with Brunson and Hart at Villanova.

Arcidiacono was on the Knicks roster this season but he was actually included in the deal, alongside Cam Reddish, that sent Hart to New York.

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 had trade talks for Cam Reddish, Khem Birch and Chris Boucher

Sources indicated the Lakers had several potential deals fall through, with players including Toronto’s Khem Birch and Chris Boucher, as well as the Knicks’ Cam Reddish in the mix to come to Los Angeles. A three-team deal involving the Knicks and …

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Alec Burks, Nerlens Noel among the Knicks discussed in deals today but club stands pat at deadline. Will be interesting to see where Cam Reddish fits in the rotation, particularly once Derrick Rose returns from rehab following ankle surgery. NYK is 24-31, in 12th place in East. – 3:14 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
No last-second moves for the Hawks, I’m told. Only move they ended up making was the Cam Reddish trade last month.

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
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
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
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
Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
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 – 2:30 AM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
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

Kenrich Williams would fit with the Raptors defensively. @BlakeMurphyODC mentioned him on the pre-game show. Guy is tough as nails. Played JuCo with Chris Boucher. – 8:28 PM

Hey everyone, please stop trading Chris Boucher in your proposals. He’s been Toronto’s best bench player for over a month now. Moving him for another bench player isn’t going to solve the depth problem. – 11:52 AM

Checking in on this Raptors-Hornets game, and I can’t imagine there are 5 scarier defensive lineups than Toronto’s quintet of Chris Boucher, Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, Dalano Banton

More on this storyline

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. -via SportsNet New York / February 10, 2022
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

Talked about this on the last @RedNationHoops:
I think people should be open to the idea of Houston pursuing Ben Simmons and/or other star players at the deadline.
Rebuilds are about trying to acquire cornerstone players. The draft is simply one avenue to try and achieve that. – 1:15 PM

NBA people go deep on the Ben Simmons conundrum:

De’Andre Hunter on the Cam Reddish trade. They’ve been super tight since they were drafted: “I was sad to see him go but I was happy for him as well. It was obviously something he wanted. He got to go to a place he wanted to go. I’ll miss him, of course, that’s my guy.” – 9:40 PM
