The first domino has fallen for the Chicago Bulls, as they have officially moved on from Zach LaVine earlier this week. In a three-team trade, the Sacramento Kings acquired LaVine, while the Bulls regained their 2025 first-round pick from San Antonio. Chicago also added Zach Collins and Tre Jones from the Spurs, along with Kevin Huerter from the Kings.

However, the Bulls aren’t done yet. With the February 6th trade deadline approaching, they are expected to make additional moves. Key trade candidates include Nikola Vučević and potentially even Lonzo Ball. Additionally, another Bulls star has reportedly surfaced in trade discussions.

Bulls Exploring Trade Market for Coby White
According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls are evaluating trade options for Coby White. While no specific suitors have been named, potential teams to watch include the Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic. Chicago appears to be gauging White’s market value before making a decision.
After a breakout 2023-24 season in which he averaged 19.1 points per game, White has proven his production wasn’t a fluke, currently averaging 18.5 points per game through 44 games this season. At just 24 years old and on a team-friendly contract, he remains an attractive asset:
2024-25: $12M
2025-26: $12.8M
2026-27: Unrestricted Free Agent
The big question is: what could the Bulls get in return? Ideally, they would secure a first-round pick, but the return will largely depend on which team they engage with. While White is a strong trade piece, there’s also value in keeping him as Chicago rebuilds. He’s certainly a name to watch as the deadline approaches.
