New York Knicks Receive: F Kenyon Martin Jr.
Houston Rockets Receive: G/F Cam Reddish
Of course, for anyone to reach their potential, they need an opportunity. Without one, all the potential in the world will remain dormant.
That principle doesn’t solely apply to the NBA. Across the globe, there are talented musicians who will not get famous because they don’t have “the look”.
There are office administrators who could whip the most disorganized work environment into shape but can’t get a job because they don’t have people skills. Without an opportunity, potential is meaningless.
Some would argue that Cam Reddish hasn’t gotten a good opportunity in years. To be sure, his career has not gone as planned. First, he was a member of an Atlanta Hawks team whose offense is entirely built around Trae Young. Last season, he landed on a New York Knicks team who clearly didn’t believe in him from the onset.

Meanwhile, opportunities are beginning to look scarce for Kenyon Martin Jr. in Houston as well. The fact that this team selected Jabari Smith Jr. third overall in the 2022 draft already bodes poorly for his future prospects.
When you consider that they also nabbed Tari Eason at 17, suddenly, this young team’s rotation at Martin Jr.’s 4 spot is looking crowded.
Are the Knicks in a better position to afford him an opportunity?
