According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Chicago Bulls have traded Coby White to Charlotte Hornets for Collin Sexton.
The full trade terms see the Bulls get Sexton and three second round picks, and the Hornets get White and Mike Conley Jr.; however, Conley Jr. may become a buyout candidate.
If he were to become a buyout candidate, reportedly, he would go back to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Leading to the deadline, White was considered a strong trade candidate due to his expiring contract. This season, the 25-year-old is averaging 18.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 29 games. For White, this will be his second team in his entire career.
Multiple reports have stated Chicago is not done trading yet, as they are only getting started.
