The NBA Trade deadline is three weeks away. As the deadline approaches, every team is canvassing the league for talent to help their teams. So far, there’s only been one or two teams looking to sell while other teams are acting as buyers. This is a result of a lot of teams being in contention for either the playoffs or the play-in spots. One of those teams competing for a playoff spot are the New York Knicks. They been shopping their young forward Cam Reddish, who hasn’t played as much lately. New York is seeking a second-round pick in return for the forward.

Heat ‘Intrigued’

One of the teams expected to show interest in the Knicks forward is the Miami Heat. According to Ian Begley of SNY, the Heat are among the teams that have contacted the Knicks about Reddish’s availability dating back to last year’s trade deadline. He also noted that Heat personnel are ‘intrigued’ about the forward.

Several teams have been monitoring Reddish’s situation in New York, dating back to last season. The Heat, Bucks and Lakers are among the teams who reached out to the Knicks to talk about Reddish since the 2022 NBA trade deadline. I’d assume that those three teams – and others – have remained in touch with New York on Reddish. Team personnel in Miami are intrigued by the 23-year-old

Fit with Miami

Reddish doesn’t address the Heat’s immediate needs for shooting and size. The 23-year-old forward is shooting 30.4 percent from downtown this season. Additionally, he doesn’t have the size to help Bam Adebayo on the frontcourt. Still, he will be an interesting addition to the team. He’s still 23 and teams still see potential in him. Since being drafted in 2019 by the Atlanta Hawks, Reddish hasn’t found a role in the NBA. He’s currently out of the rotation in New York. He really needs to be in a situation that can get the most out of him. Over the years, Miami has done a good job of developing its undrafted players and turning them into rotation players.

Reddish is averaging 8.4 points in 21 minutes this season and was recently pulled out of the rotation. His future with the Knicks appears to be coming to an end. Will he end up in Miami? we will see.
