Just two weeks ago, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau made an important adjustment to the team's rotation lineup, and Thibodeau chose to kick former All-Star point guard Kemba Walker out of the team rotation.
In fact, Kemba Walker has not adapted well to the Knicks' tactical system so far this season, averaging only 11.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game and a career-low 9.8 shots per game.
However, for the Knicks, the team can still promote the deal involving Walker before the trade deadline, and the advice given by the US media Brett Siegel is that the Knicks can promote the trade involving Walker with the Hawks:
Knicks get: Cam Redish, Delang Wright
Hawks get: Kemba Walker, 2024 first-round picks (lotto protection)
According to the US media Shams Charania, the Hawks have received interest from many teams in the league for Cam Redish, and the Eagles also hope to get a first-round draft pick in the deal involving Reddish.
In this deal, the Hawks can get a player like Kemba Walker who can give the team a better backcourt depth, and he can definitely help the Hawks on the offensive end.
But the undeniable problem is that After Kemba Walker joins the Hawks and joins Trae Young, the team's backcourt defense will definitely become a problem, which is also a potential factor that the Hawks may not be interested in Walker, even if this deal allows the Hawks to get a return for a future first-round draft pick, but considering that this is a lottery-protected draft pick and the Hawks also need to send Reddish, such a chip seems to be difficult to have enough appeal.
For the Knicks, getting Two players, Cam Redish and Wright, is certainly a move to help the team, but the Knicks may not have a good chance of convincing the Hawks to push such a deal.
