The Knicks traded Knox+ a 2022 protected first-round pick for Redish, Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick. Being able to bring a first-round pick is a really profitable deal for the Hawks, because Reddish applied for a trade a few months ago, because Reddish can't play an important role in the team, doesn't have much playing time and performance opportunities, and makes it difficult for him to get a big contract in the contract year.
Reddish is the 10th pick of the 19th edition, with Zion, RJ Barrett and called Duke Three, the NCAA era has received attention and exposure, but in the third season of the Eagles, Reddish can not show superstar potential like Morant, which makes it difficult for Reddish to get a big contract.
Of course, Reddish blamed his inability to play better, blaming himself for not getting the focus on cultivation, not being an important role in the Hawks lineup, and probably not a good reason, although reddish's use rate so far in his career is only 66%, but the average number of playing time per game is more obvious. During the Hawks, Reddish averaged 26.3 minutes per game, not less, but averaged 9.8 shots per game, for Reddish really did not get full cultivation, such as Durant's unlimited firing rights in the rookie season, Reddish did not have such treatment, so so far this season Reddish averaged 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, the shooting rate is not very good, And it is too difficult for Reddish to get a big contract.
If after leaving the Eagles, Redish can get the full cultivation he wants, of course, it is a good thing, but the heart is that Redish who left the Eagles is in a worrying situation? The reason why Reddish wants to leave the Hawks is nothing more than to get more opportunities and play an important role to play the data and try to get a big contract this summer, but Knicks coach Thibodeau also made it clear: You have to fight for playing time yourself, it's as simple as that.
In short, Thibodeau did not give Reddish any playing time commitment, let alone play an important role in the Knicks, the playing time needs Reddish to fight for himself, if Reddish is not good enough, then Reddish does not want to get playing time, compared to the Eagles and the average of 26.3 minutes per game, Reddish's prospects in the Knicks are worrying.
Netizens also understand the meaning of Thibodeau, nothing more than the difference between 48 minutes or 0 minutes, it is not better than the chance in the Eagles, then Reddish wants a big contract still has no hope, while entering a new team, but also ankle sprain rehabilitation period, Reddish wants to prove how good he is, I am afraid it is too difficult, because Reddish can prove that if he is in the Eagles, he has been outstanding, any good player, the opportunity is always his own fight, even if you are James, It is also necessary to have amazing personal data and performance, and the value of the team's record for the players is always in second place, it seems that leaving the Hawks and joining the Knicks is not a good thing for Reddish, but a worrying situation.
