Overview
- Coby White is the Bulls player most frequently discussed in ongoing negotiations, with no deal characterized as imminent in the latest reporting.
- Reported suitors include the Timberwolves, Rockets and Clippers, with Minnesota weighing rental concerns and potential packages that have featured Mike Conley’s expiring salary and prospect Rob Dillingham.
- Team leaders are prioritizing acquisitions that align with Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, and names such as Reed Sheppard, Tari Eason, Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. have been asked about without traction.
- Chicago is viewed as more inclined to keep and extend Ayo Dosunmu due to fit and cost, as both he and White approach unrestricted free agency and White previously declined a four-year, $87 million offer.
- White acknowledged the trade chatter and said he feels wanted, and after a late collapse against Indiana he voiced confidence in the current group as the Bulls sit 23–24 and in the Play-In chase.
