The trade talks between the Lakers and Knicks surrounding Evan Fournier and Cam Reddish have some logic in them, as we recently discussed when the rumors first surfaced. The Lakers need wings and those two represent some of the few options available on the trade market.
But they aren’t all that attractive due to both their lack of production with each player out of the rotation in New York and their respective contract statuses. Because of that, they aren’t desirable contracts and most teams, the Lakers included, are looking for draft compensation to be attached to the players in a trade.
