WHERE DOES CAM REDDISH FIT?
The Knicks entered the week of the trade deadline with the intention of trading at least one player in their rotation. But the deadline passed without any activity from New York.

Talks stalled out early Thursday and Dragic was dealt to San Antonio.
The Knicks didn’t complete deals for veterans like Alec Burks or Nerlens Noel. Presumably, they decided that the players’ current value didn’t match with what they would get in…
