NBA Insider Marc Stein reported that the Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, and Los Angeles Lakers have shown interest in Reddish. Milwaukee in particular is an interesting landing spot, as they need a shot creator in the absence of Khris Middleton. Reddish would certainly provide that, as his biggest strength is creating shots off the dribble. While those shots may not always fall, the Bucks just need someone to draw some attention away from Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Grayson Allen has had a good season for Milwaukee, averaging about 11 points with elite efficiency, but he still finds himself in trade rumors for whatever reason. So does Serge Ibaka, who came to a mutual agreement with the Bucks to find a trade this past week. Cashing in on both of their values by filling a need and acquiring two picks would make a lot of sense for Milwaukee.

For New York, Allen would provide some much-needed three-point shooting, as the Knicks rank 25th in the NBA in three-point percentage. Despite being undersized, Allen ranks 29th in the NBA in defensive rating as well, which would certainly please Knick head coach Tom Thibodeau.

They’d also bring in Serge Ibaka, a veteran center who can space the floor and rebound. He probably wouldn’t play much for the Knicks, but it can’t hurt to have more center depth, especially with Mitchell’s Robinson injury that could keep him out for more than a month. Ibaka would also provide a veteran presence in the locker room, playing a similar role to Taj Gibson last year for New York.
