Knicks may cut ties with Miles McBride in favor of Bulls' $36 million star


Knicks may cut ties with Miles McBride in favor of Bulls' $36 million star

The New York Knicks could use a spark plug off the bench to give them a much-needed lift.

An evolving Chicago Bulls guard could be an ideal fit with the Knicks.

"Let's be real -- Coby White has been low-key awesome this season. He's averaging 18.1 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds while knocking down 42.4% of his shots and 37.1% from deep," Fadeaway World's Fran Leiva wrote Tuesday.

"The guy is a bucket and can run the offense when needed. But here's the thing: the Bulls are clearly moving in a new direction."

"With Josh Giddey running the show (averaging 11.7 points, 6.9 assists, and 6.2 boards), White has taken a backseat, and honestly, he might be better off elsewhere."

"The Bulls are sitting at 10-15 and look like they're gearing up for a rebuild. Moving White, who's on a two-year, $24 million deal, makes a ton of sense. He's valuable enough to fetch a good return, and this trade brings in assets they can actually use moving forward."

"Precious Achiuwa is solid on defense and adds energy and versatility. Miles McBride is a scrappy young guard with the potential to breakout this season at 11.1 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.6 rebounds, and Jericho Sims is an athletic big who can fill out the rotation."

"Add in two juicy first-round picks in 2025, and the Bulls have a nice package to keep building for the future."

"For the Knicks, White is the definition of a perfect sixth man. He's a microwave scorer who can light it up off the bench, create his own shot, and space the floor."

"Plus, he's still only 24 years old, so he fits with their timeline while bringing immediate impact. His contract is reasonable for what he offers, and he's the type of player who could swing a playoff series with his scoring outbursts."

"This deal works for everyone. The Bulls get pieces to help their rebuild, and the Knicks add a legit spark plug who can elevate their second unit. It's a win-win that makes too much sense not to happen."

In Year 6, White has succeeded as a score-first guard with plenty of counter moves in his arsenal.

The North Carolina product may be a little loose with the ball while driving into traffic, but his willingness to clean up his act and get organized before attempting shots has paid dividends for him thus far.

While White has started every game he's suited up for this season with the Bulls, it's reasonable to assume he would accept a reserve role with the Knicks to achieve team success.

McBride is having an encouraging season with the Knicks this year, but New York should explore a trade for White before he's off the market.
