Magic Have Shown Interest In Coby White 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Feb 6, 2025 2:09 pm

The Orlando Magic are among a group of teams who have shown interest in Chicago Bulls guard Coby White. The Bulls are still evaluating the direction of their roster ahead of the trade deadline.


Chicago recently traded Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings. In that deal, the Bulls received Tre Jones, who adds to an already-crowded backcourt. Chicago also recently extended Lonzo Ball on a two-year, $20 million deal.


White is on a $12 million salary for this season, then he's owed $12.9 million for next season. White's salary is an easily acquirable one for almost any team in the league.


Orlando has been looking for help with shot creation and shooting. The Magic have been among the league's worst offensive teams, in addition to being the NBA's worst shooting team on three-pointers.

Think he'd be a good get, would give up a 1st, a 2nd, and Cole or other matching salary they prefer.

I think most bulls fans would be on board with this. Coby can ball for sure, but the bulls need picks and have too many guards.

The good part is that Anthony's last year is a team option so if a change of scenery doesn't pan out, they can cut him/trade him. Coby White is very underrated and it spoke volumes that the Bulls were able to play well with him while Lavine was injured. The Magic should do the mentioned deal, but we'll see what the Bulls do.
