The Knicks are acquiring small forward Cam Reddish from the Hawks in a trade that will send a 2022 first-round pick to Atlanta, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
New York will also receive forward Solomon Hill as part of the deal, Wojnarowski reported. The pick being sent to the Hawks actually belongs to the Hornets.
Meanwhile, the Hawks will receive forward Kevin Knox from New York, reported Sarah K. Spencer of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Reddish, 22, is averaging a career-high 11.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 34 games this season, his third in the NBA. He was originally drafted by the Hawks with the No. 10 overall pick in 2019.
Reddish, 22, gets his wish for a deal to a team with the ability to give him an increased role and an extension this summer – and Hawks get a first-round pick that could be useful in more deal-making to improve the roster. https://t.co/o0R4nS7KBv

Hill, 30, is 6-6 and has played just 13 games this season. There is a chance the Knicks could waive him following completion of the deal.
Knox, 22, is 6-foot-7 and has also seen limited playing time since Tom Thibodeau became coach before the start of last season. He was the No. 9 overall pick in 2018, averaging 12.8 points as a rookie — but hasn’t received much of an opportunity since.
