Why did the Hawks give up on Cam Reddish? 

Solomon I’m going down hill 😭

Hey so as a Hawks fan I heard about this and was like WHAT so I’ll explain Cam already had requested a trade out of Atlanta months ago because he didn’t think he could be what he believes he’s can be in Atlanta. Hawks just wanted a first round pick they turned down multiple offered that has included 2nd round picks.

Yah Casey I really didn't get this trade unless it is to bring Zion to the New York Knicks. RJ, Cam, and Zion all played at Duke together. I mean the Knicks did get the better part of the trade I would rather have Cam at the wing than Knox who has been irrelevant tbh, plus Cam is better than Knox but I do agree with you on this trade just didn't really make any sense at all? Yah and the Hawks might have some bigger trades to come like you said John Collins for Jerami Grant that then would make some sense like you said. Thanks for the video my friend.

So fn refreshing to hear a gm speak honestly

As an Atl fan… thanks for the vid Casey. I’m not big on acquiring Simmons, I would much rather Grant. A JC for Grant trade almost seems like a wash. Grant I see is a minor upgrade over Collins and I’m not sure that moves the needle the way the Hawks need it to… because yes… we’re bad on defense currently and it’s costing us wins.

Damn that’s crazy… crazy that we are on a 4 game win streak since trading him LMAO

Awesome vid. No one from the Knicks fan base looked at Cam this way.

Best explanation and video about the trade in hindsight.

Great video man! I had no idea he was that bad on D until you pointed it out

And if I were to get one star, I’d want Jaylen Brown. Good two-way guy who gets to return home. Trae n Dre should be untouchable but anyone else can go since we’re playing like dump.

As a Hawks fan I was mad at the trade at first but I trust the front office that it would lead to a big trade to shake up the roster

Love the analysis. GM Travis was actually in the room when Draymond Green was drafted - and Trey Young would benefit tremendously having the Draymond Green-role played by Ben Simmons. I also think the Atlanta coach - needs to be changed (playoff run was a one-off) as well. Doc Rivers doesn't get enough criticism for the Atlanta Series Debacle as an old school playoff coach. A ball movement type coach like the Spurs or Warriors systems - would be a better fit. Jerami Grant - is a great fit too.

I appreciate this analysis. I haven't watched too much of Reddish playing, so I don't have a strong opinion on him defensively, but I've seen so many people talking about him as an elite defender. It's interesting how much different your take is on that.

It was well known to GM's that Cam was a Cancer to the team chemistry. So no team would've given much for him. The Knicks needed a consistent 3 level scorer. Atlanta gets rid of their Cancer and the Knicks pick up a guy that can help address their weakness that was exposed last post season. Win-Win.

As a Hawks fan, I was waiting for this video. I never really watched Knox II, but c'mon, a veteran and a 22 growing into an allstar player for a bag of chips, our GM. I am not looking forward to getting Ben, because in your recent vid, you said John Collins and a few others for Ben Simmons.

Um Cam asked to be traded months ago.... Hawks werent paying both he and Hunter.. And Hunter is clearly better fit... Cam needs the ball in his hands.. Not to mention he had the worst +- on the team......

This one was a good video

When the trade is lopsided for now and the future...

They said the same thing about Kobe: “thinks he’s better than he actually is”. Just sayin.

The Knicks just made sure that they have the 2 best friends of Zion Williams and now have the Lure needed to convince Zion to walk away from the Pelicans and their rookie max extension and sign with New York I know Jeremy Grant is playing at a high level but the Hawks won't want to send multiple 1st round picks with Collins for Grant. They still have a higher value on Collins. People are saying KCP for Collins but I would say Sabonis for Collins would be better than that but all of these guys being made available could backfire because testing to see their value may make the players mad and hurt their value .

The Hawks already accepted they lost to the Luka-Trae trade. Now they trade the pick that was the only card they have for the argument of Doncic and Young trade. That was a terrible trade for Reddish imo.

Solomon “ I am going down-“ Hill 😂😂😂😂

That front office guy looks like the principal in american dad

“I know I’m nice” is crazy 😂

Looking back on this and seeing how he now got traded again for the exact reasons you mentioned, you were 1000% on the number with this analysis. Reddish thinks he's a star and plays his game like he's a star, yet in reality he's a poor shooter with little else to offer. His inflated ego got him booted off Atlanta and now the Knicks. He needs to learn how to be a role player and accept that if he wants to have a career in the NBA beyond the next few seasons.

Cam shoots a three, gives up a three. Spurs fan here. We have a guy like that named Bryn Forbes. BUT he’s 6-1 and hustles his ass off before getting burned on the perimeter. Summons every bit of his limited talent every trip down the floor, so we forgive - and sometimes even praise - his defensive effort. Cam’s 6-8 with extended reach. No excuses for him. Not at all surprised if Nate McMillan had little patience for that kind of defensive play. Wait til Thibs gets ahold of him.

Cam Reddish wanted a bigger role meaning he wanted to be a top 3 scoring option and shooting it sub 30 percent isnt good enough for us to keep him at that rate. Lets see how the Knicks use him bc I have a feeling he is going to regret his cocky decision once he see's how this business works.

I like the subtle Zion diss

I thought ATL was dumb asf for this trade but if Cam wanted to be the primary ball handler this makes a lot more sense

Hawks got a pick from the Knicks for Reddish but then traded the Knicks' pick for Dejounte Murray. So Hawks get a 24yr All star in Murry and only had to give up Reddish and 2 low first round picks. So still a brilliant move for Atlanta.

Cam only just turned 22, let’s come back to this Doofy page at least when he’s 23-24

We suck. Point blank period. Idk how we fell off this hard.

You were almost right in your prediction with how Thibs handled Reddish. Instead giving Reddish a role that he didn't want, Thibs just gave Reddish no role at all. And in a way, the Knicks still won the trade. Reddishs only real meaningful contribution to the Knicks was being used as a pawn to get Josh Hart who is a way better fit on the Knicks and has been really great for them.

I mean Cam Reddish was just basically something with the Atlanta Hawks team , it was just unbelievable.. this hawks team is just inept .

This is the best Tyler Herro video yet

Can u do a Ben Simmons trade news vid

The GM shouldn’t have come out and said what he said but I feel like he meant it as he maybe shouldn’t have brought them back as it may not be a good fit not that they are bad players.

Cam Reddish best fit in Piston or Pacers

and now he is ballin with the lakers

😂 I knew you were going to say the Kings

Didn't mind this trade so much until I heard the pick was top 18. No chance that conveys

I wasn't a Cam Reddish fan when he was @ Duke. I thought he was too passive both on offense and defense however, if Cam can get his head right, and put forth the effort on defense, the Hawks will look like fools for giving up on him so soon. As far as the Hawks and Jerami Grant, I don't see it as a good fit. The Hawks will basically be asking Grant to play the same role he left in Denver.

Interesting video. Nice to see the stats behind cam because the eye test can fool the casuals. To be clear I still think they sold too low and too soon on cam. At worst they let him go for nothing and see what he turns into. You could even sign and trade him after next year to a team that wants him but doesn’t have salary space. I personally like the grant idea mainly because it’s a better fit than Simmons, cheaper contract and cheaper price to acquire. I don’t like Casey’s price on the guy though. I honestly don’t think grant is gonna fetch that much seeing that he’s almost a free agent and he’s maybe a borderline all star at best. If you look around the league most of the contenders who are a grant away from being real contenders either don’t have the matching salaries, the prospects, or the draft picks to make a deal happen. The best trade I’ve seen is bulls trading coby white and Patrick Williams and bulls probably aren’t giving up Patrick Williams. What other team has a good young prospect and a matching salary or picks to get grant. Hawks have a few picks and salaries to match. IMO I like a different type of trade. Keep Collins. Trade them Gallo to match and okonwu with one pick. Pistons would take that because they get a good young player to fit their timeline. Hawks get out of gallos contract so they don’t have to eat 5 mill next year plus they get a more sure thing on both ends. At worst 2 picks get that done. Okonwu is a nice player who has a lot of potential

Good for the Knicks.

It’s simple really, the Knicks weren’t in any significant trade talks because teams wanted young talent and picks. Knicks have picks and cap space but no players to deal. Cam helps with that a lot as an insurance policy as a trade chip himself

This pistons fan approves

In order for most players to learn defense, coming into the NBA ,they have to play.Play and I mean mucho minutes

Can Reddish told the front office he wasn’t happy with the organization

Max deal on the king nahh you did him dirty 😭

Mane if the hawks get Ben Simmons I going start watching professional bowling

I would be pissed af if we traded Collins for Grant. Collins is a significantly better player.

Hahaha I like grants versitility over Collins. Maybe the hawks start gallo and grant. But 2 first rounds sounds crazy especially if there pistons picks which would be a top 6 pick for sure

Nah this makes perfect sense. Cam is not that good and was just an extra mouth to feed. We open up a roster spot too. He was way too much of a ball hog off the bench and killed our play.

Man mentioned killian Hayes lmao

Nice.

Its funny that Cam isnt even playing in New York...

Jaylen Brown next video A.M Hoops 🙏🙏🙏

I wonder if Bol Bol will be traded again

Your thumbnail scared me.

Max deal on the kings?

Some players should stay in college more than 1 year.

Too funny!

1:38 😭🤦🏿‍♂️

I know

Mad respect for you bruh but any real hawks fan knows Collins is leagues above Grant when it comes to being a winning player LMFAO BIGGGG no thanks on that one…

I was kinda expecting the hawks to use cam as one of the assets to get a star like Ben Simmons

Can't wait for the "why the hell the knicks give up on Cam Reddish?"

I understand trading Cam but to get him for nothing is wild to me... Knicks got a steal for real

The Hawks made this Trade because they wanted a First Round Pick which no one else would offer them it, plus To Create Roster to make a Bigger Trade! Watch the Hawks for doing something "Risky to Save their Terrible Off-season!

It’s all about fit. Cam Reddish and DeAndre Hunter basically the same player. Kevin Knox can be decent in a gallinari type roll.

he wanted to play in ny and atlanta didint wanna pay him

Therer just freeing up space for Jeremy Grant its Obvious cam doesn't fit and a 2nd unit type of guy but Huerter does he's starting rn but when Jeremy come back...

They maybe looking to acquire Ben.

This was so random

Zion opting out of NOLA and joining the big Apple. Duke reunion loading ⌚

Makes me question the gm 🤔 reddish gna be somebody

Finally Knicks did something good or is there some meta shit we're not seeing?

He is the pick from luka trade right?

Because the 22 year old top 10 pick didn’t wanna be there ? Now he’s not even getting minutes & hawks on a 5 game winning streak , let things play out

Hawks didn’t want Cam with Trae Cam is a volume scorer

We came up on atl get over it yall

undefeated since Cam left. that's why

Why did ATL start playing better when CAM got traded?

I think that Gallinari, Hunter, and the two firsts is also a good Jerami Grant deal. Josh Jackson goes to Atlanta in this deal as well. He’s an expiring that can play the backup 3 over TLC who has looked pretty bad. The Pistons don’t mind taking on Gallo cause we aren’t gonna get many Free agents and he gives the Pistons more offense, which they place last in the league at. Hunter and Saddiq Bey give Cade more shooters and defense in the starting lineup and allow them to add a big over the off-season, and if Hunter goes to the bench it’s not a big deal as he adds to their depth. The 2 firsts will be nice for a future trade or to move up in the draft to provide the team they swap with more picks. Maybe another pick is added to the deal because the Pistons aren’t getting a strong talent like Collins and they’re taking on Gallo’s heavy contract instead.

I know I’m nice 😂

i can see even Bogdan Bogdanovic traded to Sixers in that smoosh deal.. and then sixers will win ring ..maybe you are onto something there

Someone lost a bet

You have to look at the situation. He's off the bench and the players he has playing with him are horrible. Okongwu hasn't been available until recently so he was playing with really bad players, this ruins your plus minus. The injuries have plagued him as well. I hope you don't eat your words when he goes to NY. When Cam wasn't coming off the bench getting 4 min spurts, he did well. Also this year he didn't want to be with the Hawks but yes, if they don't play him in NYK, he will be frustrated.

Why hasn't he played for the Knicks yet?

That trade was terrible 😂

It seems nba needs a cash cow. There’s no place to do it but ny

Snap out of it people, Morey will only trade Simmons for Harden, Dame or Beal

Atlanta cornering the market on the defensively indifferent….

Cam is Knox with more swag.

Cam Reddish is just really bad right now. He has potential but it’s telling that the Hawks gave him away

Can't believe a bricks fan just fixed his mouth to say a team with much better players in a much shorter rebuild has a front office that don't know what they're doing.

Please dont do clickbait thumbs

Cam reddish >

He asked for a trade. He could never shine there with Trae Young. Dugh

No I believe that the hawks will trade for dejounte Murray
