NBA Trades: 3 New York Knicks trades for a starting point guard: Chicago Bulls

Knicks receive: Coby White

Bulls receive: Mitchell Robinson

Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer recently reported that the Chicago Bulls could show interest in signing New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson this offseason.

And while the Knicks would likely prefer to retain Robinson, if he does decide that he wants a change of scenery, and Chicago is his choice, the Bulls would need to make it a sign-and-trade. This is where New York could swoop in.

The Bulls are supposedly looking to trade point guard Coby White this summer, and while he hasn’t lived up to his true potential just yet, New York could be the place where he finally blossoms.

White has played alright in his first few seasons in the league, but with Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, and Ayo Dosunmu now in the picture for the Bulls, he has become expendable.

In New York, White could get the minutes he needs to thrive. And although Tom Thibodeau doesn’t love playing youngsters, he might be forced to, considering White would be his only true option at the one.

This deal would create a whole new problem in the fact that the Knicks would be left without a starting-caliber center, but nabbing White to potentially be their point guard of the future could be worth that risk.
