Reddish played at the University of Duke alongside Zion Williamson and former Knicks teammate RJ Barrett. He is averaging 8.4 points per game in 20 games this season for the Knicks but has not played since Dec. Reddish, 23, was acquired by the Knicks last year but struggled to crack Tom Thibodeau's rotation.

This season for the Knicks he has played in just 20 games and has not played since Dec. This is Hart's sixth season in the league and will be the fourth team of his career. He brings backcourt depth to a Knicks squad who are currently right in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

The road to contention is perhaps even longer now after trading a quality player in Hart who is on the ascent. The Knicks are a team on the rise thanks to the arrival of Jalen Brunson and resurgence of Julius Randle, so it comes as little surprise that they were buyers at the deadline. The Blazers have a chance to be a playoff team next season and beyond if Lillard stays with the team and remains healthy, but they have a long way to go before they are true contenders. Hart, who the Blazers acquired as part of a package from the New Orleans Pelicans for CJ McCollum prior to the trade deadline last season, is signed through the 2022-23 season with a player option for 2023-24. While Hart is a quality complementary player who could have been a useful piece for Portland moving forward, the Blazers are perhaps entering a rebuild after trading away McCollum, Robert Covington, Norman Powell and others last season. The Portland Trail Blazers traded small forward Josh Hart to the New York Knicks on Wednesday in exchange for Cam Reddish and a protected future first-round pick, per ESPN's

Hart has an expiring $12.96MM contract, while Reddish is earning $5.95MM in the final year of his rookie deal, so at least one more player has to be included to ...

Assuming no players are added to the deal and it remains a three-for-one swap, Portland will have to cut a player from its 15-man roster to make room for the newcomers. The Knicks gave up a protected first-round pick last February to acquire Reddish, but he has fallen out of favor and hasn’t played since December 3. The 27-year-old wing is expected to decline his $12.96MM option this summer and seek a long-term deal in free agency. Arcidiacono has played even less than his teammate, appearing in just 11 games and logging 26 total minutes in 2022/23. The Cavaliers and Heat were among the other teams reported to have interest in trading for Hart.

The New York Knicks, in a tight battle for a playoff berth, added swingman Josh Hart in a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, ESPN and The Athletic ...

Josh Hart was pulled off the floor just moments before the Trail Blazers were set to tip on Wednesday night.

The Knicks are trading Cam Reddish and a protected future first-round pick to the Blazers for Hart, sources tell ESPN.

The Knicks didn’t throw away a ton of assets here, and made a savvy move on the fringes. Hart doesn’t really move the needle for the Knicks in terms of a title, but he’s a solid utility player. Getting a first-round pick and Reddish is not bad for Hart, who was having a strong season in Portland and is on an affordable deal next year.

Hart reunites with Jalen Brunson in New York, while Reddish looks for a fresh start in Portland.

However, they did have to give up a first-round pick to get Reddish and then give up another one in the trade to get rid of him, which isn't great asset management. He's shown some flashes on both sides of the ball, however, and is still only 23 years old; it doesn't hurt the Blazers to take a look at him. [Atlanta Hawks](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/ATL/atlanta-hawks/) in exchange for Kevin Knox and a future first-round pick, which originally belonged to the [Charlotte Hornets](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/CHA/charlotte-hornets/) and has not yet conveyed. But even if they do sneak into the playoffs, it's clear this team is not going anywhere this season, so they made the wise choice to become sellers. And they still could; though they are in 12th place entering Wednesday night's slate of games, they are percentage points out of play-in position and just three games out of fifth in the crowded Western Conference. [New York Knicks](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/NY/new-york-knicks/) have agreed to trade [Cam Reddish](/nba/players/3042251/cam-reddish/), [Ryan Arcidiacono](/nba/players/2253462/ryan-arcidiacono/), [Svi Mykhailiuk](/nba/players/2152517/svi-mykhailiuk/) and a protected first-round pick to the [Portland Trail Blazers](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/POR/portland-trail-blazers/) in exchange for [Josh Hart](/nba/players/2105193/josh-hart/), [according to Adrian Wojnarowski](https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1623517868653527040?s=20&t=RcvB2cNc7z2D-7_iUelNcg). The Knicks also did well to get the lottery protection on the first-round pick, which gives them some insurance against a post-All-Star break collapse or a disappointing result in the play-in tournament. This is also the second deadline in a row that Reddish has been moved. [New Orleans Pelicans](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/NO/new-orleans-pelicans/) sent him to the Blazers in the [CJ McCollum](/nba/players/2067685/cj-mccollum/) trade. Part of the downside of Thibodeau's rigid style is that some players either aren't interested in playing that way or take time to adjust; that won't be the case for Hart, who will help beef up the Knicks' wing rotation. If he can get back up into that range from 3, it will be a big boost for the Knicks. The big question is whether he can rediscover his 3-point shot.

Portland is sending the wing to New York prior to the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday. We break down the deal.

The Knicks are sending back Cam Reddish and a protected first-round pick to the Trail Blazers. Barrett and Obi Toppin maintaining their roles at the forward spot. Getting a future first-round pick and a prospect in Reddish is solid value.

The New York Knicks appear to be trending in a positive direction as they aim for their third straight win when they battle the host Philadelphia 76ers on ...

Two of the most important Knicks sure seem glad that two-way wing Josh Hart is joining them on Broadway.

I think we’ve always put a premium on the rebounding — we always say the defense, the rebounding and low turnovers puts you in position to win. “With that being said, you also look at what the possibilities are, and how can we improve our team?” Thibodeau said. Hart is fourth among guards in the NBA in the former category at 18.9 percent — trailing just Luka Doncic, Jarrett Culver and Jayson Tatum. It’s all the other stuff that’s really important.” He played two years at Villanova with Brunson, winning a national championship in 2016 before Hart was drafted in the first round (30th overall) by the Jazz and traded to the Lakers on draft night. It’s not just collecting talent — that’s the biggest mistake people make in this league. They are 21st in the league in defensive rebounding percentage at 71.2 percent and second-chance points allowed per game (14.5). He also was unsure if Hart would play Friday night against the 76ers. [The Knicks sent the Trail Blazers ](https://nypost.com/2023/02/08/knicks-trading-cam-reddish-to-blazers-for-josh-hart-at-nba-trade-deadline/)a lottery-protected 2023 first-round pick along with Cam Reddish, Ryan Arcidiacono and Svi Mykhailiuk for the 27-year-old Hart, who has a $12.9 million player option for next year. “They helped each other because they’re both fiery competitors,” Neptune, an assistant under Jay Wright when Hart and Brunson were Wildcats, told The Post. Thibodeau didn’t say whether he expected Hart to start or if he would expand his rotation to 10 after playing with nine over the past two-plus months. “I have great respect for him.
