Magic trade proposal to Bulls adds Coby White to talented young core

Key Highlights

• The injury bug has not been kind once more to the Magic, as the likes of Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs — their three franchise guys — have all missed time.
• In fact, Wagner is out for a few more weeks at the minimum, while Suggs has been dealing with a hip injury over the past few weeks. This may push the Magic to pull off a trade to bolster the team further, and they have reportedly been linked to a potential trade for Chicago Bulls guard Coby White.
• White is in the final year of his contract, and with Chicago treading on the line of mediocrity yet again, this could be the year where they decide to cash out on White as a trade asset. However, the Bane trade has depleted Orlando’s trade assets, making them unfavored in any trade scenario for White.
• Nonetheless, here is a trade proposal that could convince Chicago to give them their explosive scoring guard.
