Why The Cleveland Cavaliers Do The Deal 

This is a buy-low opportunity for the Cavaliers. 

Let’s say they make this deal, and Reddish doesn’t earn a spot in their rotation. So what? Windler and Stevens aren’t significant pieces in their rotation anyway. 

Meanwhile, the player Reddish is supposed to be is precisely the player the Cavaliers need. This team has one of the best big man and guard rotations in the NBA, but it lacks wings. 

If Reddish can become the player he was meant to be, he’d fit that void. The Cavaliers would be banking on an Andrew Wiggins career trajectory for Reddish here.

After all, Wiggins is a player with a similar profile who took some time to find his footing, too. 

Should the Knicks risk the possibility of losing a fully realized Reddish?
