Coby White Rumors

KC Johnson: Billy Donovan on the eve of his Hall of Fame enshrinement Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry and Matas Buzelis are flying in for it, which Donovan said is very touching Bulls ownership/management also here as part of large organizational contingent

KC Johnson: I reported earlier this offseason on this very segment that I had heard far more chatter about Ayo Dosunmu in terms of the trade market than I had about Coby White. I can now tell you that chatter has largely died down, at least as of late July, and I do expect Dosunmu to be back in a Bulls uniform for next season. The Bulls did have substantive talks — I'm told — with a Western Conference playoff team earlier this offseason regarding Dosunmu, but the two teams could not find common ground on a trade package. All signs for now point to Ayo returning.

On Coby White: “The contract is what it is. We probably can’t extend him, because the rules don’t allow for us to pay him enough,” a Bulls front office executive said. “But we want Coby to be a Bull for a long time. He knows how we feel about him.”

KC Johnson: Bulls remain active in trade market. FWIW, I’ve heard more chatter surrounding Ayo Dosunmu than Coby White.

According to a source, the Bulls and Karnisovas have been more responsive to trade talks than in the past, and while Ball, Vucevic and White are all possibilities to be moved, the name that is atop Karnisovas’ list entering Wednesday’s first round of the NBA Draft is Patrick Williams.

Bulls on CHSN: "From my seat they've got to try to look to trade either Ayo Dosunmu or Coby White." Bulls Insider @KCJHoop joined The Chicago Lead to discuss if the Bulls should consider trading Coby White and how the Desmond Bane trade might impact their decision 👀. "I've been saying for a while in my from my seat, they've got to try to look to trade either Ayo or Coby because I think it'll be very hard to re-sign both of them after next year when they both have unrestricted free agency. So I think you got to get out in front of things like that. What's crazy is they value both those players highly, and they obviously are a big part of how they want to play stylistically, to your point, the stylistic change. So I think that'd be a tough decision to make but that's a front office's job, to make hard decisions."

Rather than waiting until August or fall camp, Bulls vets including Coby White, Dosunmu and Patrick Williams made plans months ago for the team to meet in Los Angeles in early June for an intense week of scrimmaging, lifting and just hanging out with each other.

White is the Bulls’ best player and maybe their best trade asset. Would they dare deal him? Unlikely. Expect them to kick the can down the road and make White a $40 million-a-year player after next season.

News reached Bulls players that Karnisovas made the decision to fire director of player development/shooting coach guru Peter Patton after the loss to Miami in Wednesday’s play-in game, leaving a core of current players “beyond pissed,” as one said in a text. “Coach Pete was the real deal … (messed) up,” another player said. Not just smoke coming from the locker room for the wildly popular Patton, but a full fire. Throughout this season, players like Coby White, Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry, Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis all publicly praised the work they put in with Patton and the benefits it had on their game.

KC Johnson: Coby White said he has focused on this season and being present for his teammates and hasn't given any thought about being extension eligible this offseason and outplaying current contract. Said talks with agents/family about maybe hitting UFA in 2026 will happen "down line"

Twitter

Joe Cowley: Arturas Karnisovas feels like Coby White and Josh Giddey could continue to be the rising stars they need. He has no plans to explore Denver opening. Says Jerry and Michael have his back.

KC Johnson: Bulls exec VP Artūras Karnišovas expressed desire to retain Josh Giddey and Coby White long-term. Giddey is RFA. White is extension eligible but has outplayed contract and likely headed to UFA in 2026.
