The Atlanta Hawks have begun the 2021-22 NBA season with a 14-15 record — currently sitting on the outside looking in for one of the play-in spots in the Eastern Conference.
Trae Young and John Collins have been playing their roles perfectly, but they have been carrying this team. Secondary guys like Bogdan Bogdanovic, Danilo Gallinari, Kevin Huerter and Clint Capela have struggled at times this year with injuries and general inconsistency.
Cam Reddish has been a bright spot for this team, as the third-year forward is averaging 11.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and shooting 37.7% from three-point range off-the-bench this season, but there have been talks over the months about the Hawks potentially looking to move Reddish.
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Cam Reddish was available on the trade market at the trade deadline last season and in the offseason around this past year’s draft.

There have been plenty of teams monitoring his availability in Atlanta over the last few months and given his hot start to the season, the Hawks could look to capitalize on the young forward’s value.
Trading Reddish is not something Atlanta would want to necessarily do, but with his value high right now and the Hawks tight on cap space, they may be forced to trade him for value since he will be entering the final year of his rookie contract next season.
If the Hawks make Cam Reddish available at the trade deadline once again, then the Chicago Bulls should absolutely be interested. The Bulls are one of the hottest teams in the league right now with their core of Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic, but they could use an extra “spark” on their bench.

Alex Caruso is their “Sixth-Man”, but outside of Caruso, this team has not received much help off-the-bench. With Patrick Williams out indefinitely with a wrist injury, the Bulls are thin on the wing, hence why Cam Reddish could be a key, affordable addition for them.
What would it take for the Atlanta Hawks to relinquish Reddish though and do the Chicago Bulls have the necessary assets to trade for him? Let’s take a look at what the Bulls could offer up for the former first-round pick.
