Overview

• White averaged 20.4 points and 4.5 assists last season and shot 37 percent from 3-point range, bolstering his trade value.
• Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report and other analysts argue that trading him now could yield higher returns before his impending free-agency salary spike.
• The Bulls have gauged trade interest in White and Ayo Dosunmu, whose expiring $7.5 million contract also attracts attention from rival teams.
• Veteran center Nikola Vucevic remains another key trade asset, with league executives expecting him to draw strong offers.
• Despite preliminary proposals, Chicago’s front office has rebuffed offers and is still determining its approach ahead of the February 2026 deadline.
