Atlantic Notes: J. Harris, Knicks Trade Targets, Raptors, T. Harris
January 12th 2022 at 10:13pm CST by Rory Maher
Nets sharpshooter Joe Harris still isn't practicing yet after undergoing ankle surgery at the end of November, as Brian Lewis of the New York Post relays. There was a report last week indicating Harris was close to returning to practice and could return to games within a couple weeks, but that seems less likely based on Lewis' update. Coach Steve Nash says Harris isn't cleared for all activities.
"Yeah so I think he's … he's not full [ramp-up mode]," Nash said. "He's not fully cleared to do everything yet. He's got to get back to that, and he's got to get his high-intensity stuff in. So, he's not there yet."
Here's more from the Atlantic:
The Knicks are among the teams interested in Hawks wing Cam Reddish, per Ian Begley of SNY.tv. Begley also points to Myles Turner and Jalen Brunson as players the Knicks are known to be interested in.
Eric Koreen of The Athletic believes the Raptors should be looking at acquiring a wing shooter prior to the trade deadline in order to shore up a weak spot in the roster.
Chris Boucher has improved over the course of the season and his strong play has helped the Raptors go 6-1 over their past seven games. Doug Smith of the Toronto Star writes that Boucher is learning his role is to provide energy and effort no matter how many minutes he receives. "He's accepted whatever is there for playing time, whatever the lineup is, he's accepted it with energy," coach Nick Nurse said. "He's played hard. There haven't been a ton of offensive attempts, and that doesn't seem to bother him either. He just keeps going and playing. He's been really impactful." Boucher is an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Sources tell Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer (via Twitter) that Sixers forward Tobias Harris has been playing through right shoulder bursitis and bicep tendinitis. Harris said he's been dealing with shoulder soreness since a game against Utah, and that it's an "irritating" type of pain rather than something severe, but it has been aggravated multiple times since original incident, tweets Kyle Neubeck of Philly Voice.

Not super high on Reddish but a swap for Obi might make some sense for both sides. We desperately need better wing play and Obi seems like he's going to be buried behind Randle in perpetuity.
I'm not sure who on this roster is going to get Indiana to pull the trigger on Turner though. Fournier definitely isn't getting it done. If Indiana is truly committed to blowing it up maybe Fournier + picks is the price, but Indiana never seems to be truly committed to blowing it up.

Knicks and Lakers should target Reddish, Brunson, Poole, Herro and Finnie Smith
Lakers have nothing of value whatsoever at all, THT Nunn and the 2 second rounders or whatever they have wouldn't have even beat the Knicks return for Reddish, Lakers made an awful trade for Westbrook and are stuck, that's that
