Overview
- Multiple reports say Minnesota has asked about Coby White and prefers to act before the February 5 deadline to address ball-handling needs.
- Bulls leadership is described as hesitant to move quickly despite a seven-game skid and a 9–14 record, citing competitive priorities.
- A floated framework includes Donte DiVincenzo, Terrence Shannon Jr., and draft compensation, though the Wolves lack a tradable first-round pick.
- White, 25, is in the final season of a three-year, $36 million deal and has averaged about 22.1 points and 5.4 assists in seven games after a calf issue.
- Timberwolves reporter Jon Krawczynski says there is “nothing cooking” on a deal at present, indicating monitoring rather than active negotiations.
