Reddish may be a better player in theory than he is actually is on the court. But I can make the case if he ever is going to have a fire lit under his butt, now is the time. There is no doubt he has been a failure in NY and the team is good. In ATL, they liked other players better but still got a first round pick and Reddish thought he would get a chance to play more. But his time in NY is no doubt a failure and I would like to see how he reacts to that failure.
Agree that it would be nice to see how he reacts to failure. Rui in a small sample is an example of how a player might react to a change of scenery. Don’t agree with it being a sign of an incompetent GM that this isn’t done (if the reporting that NY doesn’t want Bullock is true). IF they tried to do McGee for Reddish, NY would demand more than Dallas wants to pay. If we tried to get there using other contracts, those belong to guys we don’t want to trade. That leaves making Reddish part of a bigger deal with a third team and so far that deal hasn’t materialized. Doesn’t mean it won’t.
