Houston Rockets
New York Knicks Receive: C Boban Marjanovic, G Daishen Nix, 2024 Second-Round Pick (BKN via HOU)
Houston Receive: G/F Cam Reddish
On the flip side, it’s possible that a contending team would be too high-pressure of an environment for reviving Reddish’s career. If so, the Houston Rockets could be the perfect landing spot for him.
Although, it’s worth noting the Rockets have been rolling lately. This plucky young squad has won 5 of their last 9 games. If they’d like to continue exploring the chemistry with this current group, that’s understandable.
On the other hand, this team may be getting antsy about their lottery odds. If the Rockets feel that they’re winning too much, giving a player like Reddish some time in the rotation could be the answer.
His expiring contact may be especially appealing to this club. The Rockets owe their 2023-24 first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder: they’ll be looking to improve next season.

If Reddish looks likely to contribute to that cause, great – if not, they’re effectively flipping a second-round pick for him in this deal.
Don’t expect the Knicks to get much more unless they’re willing to pay for it.
