In recent seasons, the Lakers have done a great job of pinpointing talent they feel might be under-utilized or miscast in their roles, brought them to Los Angeles and watched them flourish. Malik Monk is the shining example while Lonnie Walker IV is the most recent one.
That perhaps explains the team’s oddly constant pursuit of Cam Reddish in recent seasons and it could serve as reason to believe the Lakers could pursue him again in the coming days and weeks. Reddish has had an up-and-down NBA career with his tenure with the Knicks being a microcosm of that.
