1. PG Coby White, Chicago Bulls

White and Clarke aren’t all that different. Both players are putting together respectable seasons as trusted reserves for two teams near the very top of their conference, but they have since become tradeable assets due to the emergence of stars ahead of them. White could be considered a tradeable asset.

White, who is going to turn 22 just a week after the trade deadline, is averaging 12.6 points per game on 43.5% shooting. The Raptors need a stud that can take over this bench, and White makes sense for a team willing to part with draft capital in order to find a new long-term teammate.

Toronto Raptors rumors: Coby White could be a bench star.

White is going to cost a ton, as the Bulls are the textbook opposite of a motivated seller right now. Still, Masai Ujiri has a knack for overturning every stone when it comes to trade offers. He isn’t going to leave Arturas Karnisovas alone if he thinks there is a chance a deal can get done.

White would be a major coup for the Raptors, as his declining production is what happens when names like DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball start taking minutes and shots away from you. White would get free reign as a bench scorer and backup point guard ahead of Dalano Banton, which will beef up the league’s worst unit.
