Why Atlanta Does It: Look I just want to preface this by saying that I personally would not do it, but with a recent report coming from Shams today that "Teams expressing interest in Reddish, believe ATL seeks a first-round draft pick" a trade could happen. Kenrich Williams is one of the most underrated role players in the NBA today, he does everything a coach asks well. He's also on an extremely team friendly contract making $2M this year and next year. Ty Jerome feels like a player that if he moves to a good team, he would make a positive impact. He's coming off a year where he scored an efficient 11PPG for OKC.
*The 2022 1st via LAC is unprotected. Getting a 1st, two future 2nds, while also taking on 2 solid role players on team friendly contracts for Cam would be something that I'm sure some Hawks fans would be okay with. But if it were me, I would just keep Reddish.
Why OKC Does It: This is a team that is still a long way from contending, so really any trade that they do make should either be to take on salary getting a 1st w/ it or acquiring young talent with potential. Reddish checks the 2nd box perfectly. Even though he's averaging less minutes than last season, he has a career high in FG% (40%), 3P% (37%) & FT% (90%). He's slowly starting to become a much more rounded offensive player, even though he still has a ways to go to become that player that a lot of people believe that he can become in this league.
I think Cam is the perfect type of low risk, high reward type of player that Sam Presti would want. Just imagine if he pans out then OKC would have a young core of Shai, Giddey, Dort, Reddish + their 2022 1st which will be a good pick going into next season. This trade also does open up more minutes for Tre Mann & Theo Maledon with Ty going to ATL, which is also something that I'm sure OKC fans wouldn't mind. Trading Kenrich, a 1st, and a couple of potentially quality future 2nds would be worth it for what Cam could bring to the team.
