New York Knicks Receive: G/F Cam Thomas, F/C Day’Ron Sharpe
Brooklyn Nets Receive: G/F Cam Reddish
This move is dependent on whether the Brooklyn Nets are running it back with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving or not. If they are giving it at least one more go, this deal makes a lot of sense for both teams involved.
For Brooklyn, they add a legitimate 3-and-D weapon that can play off of KD and Kai while clamping down on the opponent’s premiere perimeter players.
Reddish is also more than young enough to be a part of the Nets’ next era if their superstar duo does decide to flee after the season. Shadowing a player of Durant’s ilk could be the best thing for Reddish’s development, even if it is for only a season.
In return for Reddish’s two-way services, the New York Knicks tack on two promising young players to add to their budding core. Cam Thomas is a wing who has displayed a prolific knack for scoring at all-three levels although does need to develop some restraint. Day’Ron Sharpe is definitely a project at this juncture but does possess intriguing stretch-big potential.
