Cam Reddish is in the final year of his rookie contract with the Knicks. He will earn nearly $6 million this coming season. The Knicks could be open to a trade as a part of their continued effort to clear cap space.
The Boston Celtics were also reportedly interested in acquiring Cam Reddish. The former 10th overall pick was on the trade block as the Knicks looked to make room for Jalen Brunson. The Knicks ultimately succeeded in their pursuit of Brunson without moving Reddish.
The Knicks could demand a first-round pick for Reddish, which would favor the Heat over the Boston Celtics. The Celtics cannot trade their 2023 first-round pick.
What are the big moves the Miami Heat can make?
The Heat could attempt to sign Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant has reportedly listed the Heat and the Phoenix Suns as his preferred destinations.
The Heat have an abundance of assets available to offer the Nets. Miami could send Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kyle Lowry to Brooklyn for Kevin Durant.

The Nets have reportedly demanded an All-Star in return for Durant. Lowry has been an All-Star in the past but his production has declined in recent seasons. Herro has the potential to be an All-Star, while Robinson is a sharpshooter with defensive deficiencies.
