The New York Knicks are acquiring forward Cam Reddish in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
The Knicks are sending forward Kevin Knox II and a 2022 first-round draft pick via the Charlotte Hornets to the Hawks for Reddish, Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick, sources said.
Reddish, the 10th pick in the 2019 draft, was the victim of an overpopulated Hawks roster of talented young wing players. That ultimately left him without the role or pathway to a contract extension -- and the Hawks made it a priority to move him ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline.
Knox was the ninth pick in the 2018 draft, but he has been unable to gain traction in New York.
The first-round pick is the key acquisition for the Hawks, giving general manager Travis Schlenk an increased asset in his arsenal to use in trades as he actively looks to make improvements to a team whose sluggish start comes after a trip to the Eastern Conference finals last season.
Charlotte's first-round pick is protected through the top 18 in 2022, the top 16 in 2023, and the top 14 in 2024 and 2025. It becomes two second-round picks if not conveyed before 2026.
