The Cavaliers have had trade talks with the Hawks about trading for Cam Reddish, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com hears.
Cleveland is prioritizing a wing who can join the rotation as they look to make their next move. Reddish has been on the block for Atlanta dating back to last year’s trade deadline, though the 2019 No. 10 overall pick is just 21 years old and is a candidate to thrive with a change of scenery.
It’s unclear how serious talks are, though Fedor notes that Cleveland isn’t willing to offer up a first-round pick as they participate in trade talks with teams around the league.

- The Clippers and Lakers were both interested in trading for Kemba Walker when the point guard was still on the Thunder’s roster, according to Marc Berman of The New York Post. The two Los Angeles teams’ interest was before each acquired their respective veteran point guards. The Lakers made a deal to bring Russell Westbrook to Southern California while the Clippers traded for Eric Bledsoe.
- Knicks had eyes for Lonzo Ball in free agency but the franchise wanted to move forward with a more established point guard, Berman adds in the same piece. Ball ended up in Chicago pretty much as free agency began via a sign-and-trade agreement.
- Once he hit the open market after his buyout with the Thunder, Kemba Walker didn’t consider any offer besides the Knicks’ two-year, $18 million deal, as the point guard explained during his introductory press conference. “Perfect timing. Really motivated,” Walker said, per ESPN’s Tim Bontemps. “Super excited that these guys have belief in me. That’s all I need. I just need somebody to believe in me. These guys do, and I appreciate that.”
- Patrick Beverley is “very happy” with the trade to Minnesota, Darren Wolfson of SKOR North hears. The veteran point guard has a chance to help the up-and-coming Wolves reach their goals of making the postseason.
- J.J. Redick has no plans to sign a new contract before training camps begin around the league. “You know, I would say, pretty much definitively, like, I won’t be in a training camp to start the season,” Redick said (via his podcast The Old Man And The Three). “That’s not gonna happen. So, you know, I’ll join a team at some point this season and finish the year and try to go get a chip. That’s the plan.”
