The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired forward Cam Reddish, guard Ryan Arcidiacono and a 2023 first round pick from the New York Knicks in exchange for forward Josh Hart, it was announced today by General Manager Joe Cronin.
Additionally, Portland acquires guard Matisse Thybulle from the Philadelphia 76ers for a 2029 second round pick and sends a 2027 second round pick to the Charlotte Hornets.
Charlotte sends Jalen McDaniels and a 2024 second round pick to Philadelphia and receives a 2023 second round pick from the 76ers and guard/forward Svi Mykhailiuk from the Knicks.
RE-STATING SOME OF THE ABOVE: To complete the trade, Philadelphia dealt Thybulle to Portland and a 2023 second-round pick (most favorable of Atlanta, Brooklyn or Charlotte) to Charlotte. Portland traded its 2029 second-round selection to Philadelphia, a 2027 second-round pick (more favorable of New Orleans or Portland) to Charlotte, and Josh Hart and the draft rights to Bojan Dublijevic and Daniel Diez to New York. In addition to McDaniels, the Hornets traded New York’s 2024 second-round pick to the 76ers.
Reddish is averaging 8.4 points (44.9% FG, 30.4% 3-PT, 87.9% FT), 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.9 minutes per game in 20 games (eight starts) this season with New York. The former Duke University standout holds career averages of 10.2 points (39.3% FG, 32.3% 3-PT, 84.4% FT), 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 24.5 minutes in 153 games (70 starts) in three seasons for Atlanta and New York. Reddish was originally selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 10th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
In 228 career games, Arcidiacono (aar-chee-dee-ACK-uh-no) has averaged 4.4 points, 2.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game for Chicago and New York. After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft, Arcidiacono spent the 2016-17 season playing for the Austin Spurs, the NBA G League affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs, before signing a two-way contract with Chicago in 2017.
Originally selected by the Boston Celtics with the 20th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Thybulle (thigh-bull) is averaging 2.7 points (43.1% FG, 33.3% 3-PT, 75.0% FT) and 1.3 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game in 49 games (six starts) this season with the 76ers. In 245 career games (78 starts) with Philadelphia over four seasons, he has accrued career averages of 4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists in 19.8 minutes per game. The Australian guard was a two-time All-NBA Defensive Second Team selection in 2021 and 2022 and is the only NBA player to record at least 250 steals and 150 blocks since the 2020-21 season.
In a subsequent move, the Trail Blazers have waived Greg Brown III.
