Knicks trade Guerschon Yabusele to Bulls for Dalen Terry

The Knicks were able to deal Guerschon Yabusele before the NBA’s Thursday trade deadline, dealing the forward to the Chicago Bulls for Dalen Terry.

Signing a two-year, $12 million deal as a significant free-agent signing before the hiring of Mike Brown, Yabusele’s success never materialized in New York. He struggled under the new head coach’s system, which halted his significant upswing off a strong performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics with the French national team.

Instead, in 41 games, he averaged just 2.7 points while shooting 39.3% from the field and 29.4% from 3-point range.

A trade was always likely, and the Knicks not having to attach draft-pick compensation to unload him is a win for team president Leon Rose.

Terry is a shooting guard who was seldom used in Chicago, averaging just 11.1 minutes per night. He averaged 3.5 points per game on 41.3% 3-point shooting.
