The New York Knicks have struggled of late and could look to shake things up at the NBA trade deadline. With the team sitting in 12th in the East at 24-31, they could look to make a deal in order to turn around the season. Despite having just acquired Cam Reddish in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, the Knicks have scarcely utilized the sharpshooting winger, who has struggled to carve out a role in Tom Thibodeau's rotation. According to Ian Begley, the Knicks could surprisingly be open to dealing Reddish at the deadline, despite just having been acquired in January.
The New York Knicks haven't shut down trade requests for Cam Reddish, per @IanBegley

The Knicks reportedly haven't rebuffed teams' inquiries about Reddish's availability. Begley reports that Reddish's name has been brought up in trade talks with at least one team ahead of the deadline, suggesting the Knicks could potentially end up parting ways with the 22-year-old.
It's unclear what team or teams have inquired about Reddish, but he would be a strong fit for various contenders considering his abilities as a 3-and-D winger. Throughout his career, the Duke product has knocked down 1.4 3's per game at a 32.5% clip.
Since joining the Knicks, Reddish has featured in just five games, having struggled to find a role in Thibodeau's air-tight rotations. He has had four DNP's since joining the team, though he's featured in each of the past two games, averaging 14.6 minutes per night. Reddish is averaging just 4.0 points per game since making the move to New York, and there appears to be a chance that his stay in the Big Apple is cut extremely short.
