Today, the media broke the news that the deal for sharpshooter Redish was officially concluded. The Hawks sent Reddish, Hill and a second-round pick, receiving Knox and a protected first-round pick from the Knicks.
At 2.03 meters tall, Reddish is a flanker with both defensive and shooting abilities, and as a 19-year show, Reddish has averaged 11.9 points per game this season and is shooting 38% from three-point range. Reddish is 22 years old, the Lakers see his physical fitness and potential, the team is willing to send Tucker Jr. and two second-round draft picks, offer Reddish. However, the Hawks want a first-round pick, and the two second-round picks offered by the Lakers Hawks don't want to consider. In the end, the Knicks' offer impressed the Eagles, and the deal was closed.
Reddish was known for his three-point accuracy in college, and when he first entered the league, Reddish's three-point shooting rate was not high, and his three-point shooting rate last season was only 26.2%. This season, Reddish's three-point level has improved significantly, averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game. The Knicks didn't have a top record this season, sending Knox away in exchange for a wing player who could help the team, with the goal of impacting the playoffs.
Why aren't the Lakers willing to send out first-round offers from Redish? The Lakers have other players to pursue, including quality players like Turner, Grant and Trent. According to media reports, these players need the Lakers to provide first-round draft picks before they have a chance to reach a deal. As a result, the Lakers are reluctant to send the first round in The Redish deal. In addition, the Lakers are also exploring the value of the deals for Jordan Jr., Howard and Bazemore in exchange for chips to quote players such as Turner.
