On January 14, Beijing time, according to the famous woj report, the Eagles and Knicks completed the transaction, and Reddish was sent to New York.
The deal was detailed when the Hawks sent Redish, Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick (from the Nets) to the Knicks, a protected 2022 first-round pick (from the Hornets) and Kevin Knox.
At the heart of the deal is Reddish, and the 22-year-old rising star left the Hawks not surprisingly. This season, he played in 33 games, averaging 24 minutes per game, with 12.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals, and shooting 37.9% from three-point range. With two years left on his contract with the Hawks, he earns $4.67 million this season and $5.95 million for the 2022-23 season (team option).
Woj also exposed why Reddish was traded, hoping to get a team with more opportunities and a bigger role, and hoping to get a contract extension this summer. The hawks' first-round pick will also be used for further reinforcement of the lineup.
The Hawks have had a disappointing record this season, currently 17-23, in 12th place in the East. In front of them is the Knicks, with a record of 21 wins and 21 losses. If this ranking is maintained, both the Hawks and Knicks will miss the playoffs, and the deal can be said to be taken separately.
