Cam Reddish responds to comment about trade request

“When I do that? y’all be trippin (sic),” Reddish wrote in response.

Reddish appeared to deny the report, but maybe he was just being technical.

Berman’s report did not say that Reddish outright asked for a trade. Rather, the report said Reddish “wants a change of scenery.” Reddish could also just be noting that he didn’t officially ask for a trade, whereas maybe his representative expressed that notion to the reporter.

We’re probably just mincing words. The overall point seems to be that Reddish wants a trade because he does not have much of a path to the playing time he is seeking as long as he’s playing for the Knicks.

The No. 10 overall pick in 2019, Reddish played two and a half seasons for Atlanta before being traded to the Knicks last season. He only averaged 14.3 minutes per game in 15 contests with the Knicks. His minutes dropped by a third, and his points average went from 11.9 per game to 6.1 per game after the trade.

Reddish’s reported desire to play for a new team makes sense.
