As a big dark horse team last season, the Knicks directly missed the playoffs this season, which made the team turbulent.
Home fans have even publicly booed the team's absolute core Randle more than once, who has also been exposed to reveal to those around him that he wants to leave the Knicks through Harden.
In addition, the team only got Reddish before the trade deadline, was also exposed by reporter Ian Begley to be put on the shelf by the team, since joining the Knicks, Reddish has been DNP by the coach many times.
To this end, James Piercey of the US media "NBA Analysis Network" also gave 3 trade plans, of which Rocket Wood 1 to 2 win-win, Pacers 1 to 3, Magic 1 to 2.
Trading Scenario 1
Knicks get: Wood;
Rockets get: Redish + Kemba Walker.
After two seasons of bad luck, the Rockets' rebuilding efforts were very successful, and the 4 rookies selected last season were basically played, and the list of greens was getting better and better, and the performance in the second half of the playoffs was getting better and better.
Coupled with the replacement Christopher plug and play, Shin Kyung continues to show his technical maturity, and Garuba also shows the most primitive physical talent.
According to the Rockets' current lineup, the only thing the team needs to strengthen is the wing, which is the fundamental reason why the Rockets have been exposed to the intention of Reddish.
As the No. 10 show in 2019, Reddish has a very good physical talent, and the template for the draft is Maddy, especially in terms of the change of defense and movement speed at the defensive end, which is very suitable for the rotational defense tactics of the small ball era.
And Reddish has been growing, after being once called "Ice Shooter" by the outside world, Reddish's outside projection ability has improved significantly, and once trained with Curry to try to improve his projection ability.
When playing for the Hawks this season, the three-point shooting rate has improved to 38%, and averaging 23.4 minutes per game can get 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1 steal.
Therefore, the 22-year-old Redish is totally worth the Rockets' bet, and after completing the transaction, the Rockets will have a starting lineup of Green + Porter Jr. + Reddish + Tate + Shinkin.
The Rockets also hold two first-round picks in the offseason, one of which is determined to be the top five picks, and the other first-round pick is the 17th pick, the team can use the first five to choose a No. 4 player, this year's favorites are all inside players, talent is worth looking forward to.
In addition, the Rockets can use the No. 17 to select a solid point guard to replace Porter Jr., and the rockets' future team building core and thinking are clear.
For the Knicks, the team not only cleaned up Walker's garbage contract through a trade, but also exchanged Wood's immediate combat force, so that the team's future negotiations with Randle have enough confidence.
Therefore, for both teams, the deal is entirely possible to achieve a win-win outcome.
Transaction Scenario 2
Knicks get: Brogdon;
The Pacers got: Fournier + Reddish + 2024 first-round pick.
As with the purpose of the previous deal, the Knicks got the instant power the team needed, and while Brogdon's health was worrisome, his overall ability was trustworthy and hopefully helped the Knicks re-emerge as a playoff-level team.
For the Pacers, the deal is a bet because the team is already in the process of rebuilding, and Reddish's 2024 first-round signing fits perfectly with the team's rebuilding plan.
Fournier, who is carrying a large contract, is a negative chip for the Pacers, and the two sides can choose to buy out or continue to trade, which does not have much impact on the whole transaction plan.
Transaction Scenario 3
Knicks get: Fultz;
Magic gets: Redish + Kemba Walker.
Thibodeau is a player who is very good at developing defenders, and the Knicks' decline this season is also related to Rose's return injury.
As a result, the team can bet on Fultz, and the Magic, which is rebuilding, get Reddish, which is in line with the team's reconstruction plan.
