Report: Bulls ‘more likely’ to trade Coby White than offer extension
The front office of the Chicago Bulls have a lot of decisions to make this offseason, led by the resigning of two-time All-Star Zach LaVine.
Alongside the LaVine decision, the Bulls must make decide the fate of Coby White’s future with the franchise.
White is rookie extension eligible but is that the path that Chicago wants to go down?
According to Jim Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times, White could be on the trade block this summer. Cowley writes:
“All eyes, meanwhile, will be on White and what the Bulls decide to do with him. He’s up for an extension if they want to make that leap now, but they more likely will look to trade him for the right piece — namely, an outside shooter who is more consistent.”
With the free agent acquisitions of Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso last summer, along with drafting Ayo Dosunmu in last year’s draft, White looks to be the odd man out in the Bulls backcourt. And as Cowley mentioned, adding an outside shooter, specifically with some length on the wing, would go a long way with Chicago’s wing depth.
