New York Knicks Receive: F Gordon Hayward, 2023 First-Round Pick (Top 10 Protected – CHA)

Charlotte Hornets Receive: F Julius Randle, F Cam Reddish

If there’s one thing that’s difficult in life, it’s staying consistent.

Just ask Julius Randle. He had the world in his palm following the 2020-21 season. He was the league’s Most Improved Player and he was named to the All-NBA Third Team.

That all came crashing down n 2021-22. Randle’s three-point accuracy took a nose dive, and his general production went along with it. It was an unfortunate, but very substantial fall from grace.

Cam Reddish can speak to inconsistency as well. He was widely regarded as one of the best high school basketball players in the United States of America. At Duke, his production was underwhelming. So far, it’s been the same at the NBA level.

Still, at 22 and blessed with strong physical qualities, he holds potential. Should the Knicks really cut ties with it just to shed Randle’s contract?
