The Orlando Magic are part of a group of teams that have shown growing interest in Chicago Bulls guard Coby White as trade talks heat up ahead of the approaching deadline.
White, known for his scoring ability and floor spacing, has become a desirable asset for teams looking to strengthen their offensive rotations. The Bulls, however, are still evaluating their roster strategy and weighing their options for the remainder of the season.
Chicago recently made a significant move by trading star Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings. In exchange, the Bulls acquired Tre Jones, a promising young guard who further intensifies competition in an already overcrowded backcourt.
Additionally, the team recently committed to Lonzo Ball with a two-year, $20 million contract extension, signaling confidence in Ball’s future contributions despite his past injury setbacks.
White’s current contract – paying him $12 million this season and $12.9 million for the next – makes him an appealing trade target, as his salary is manageable for nearly every team in the league.
His combination of shooting skills and positional versatility could be a valuable boost for franchises seeking immediate offensive upgrades.
Orlando, in particular, has been actively searching for shot creators and perimeter shooting help to improve one of the league’s least productive offenses.
The Magic currently hold the distinction of being the worst three-point shooting team in the NBA, underscoring their need for a reliable outside threat like White as they aim to bolster their playoff ambitions.
