Coby White just posted this on his Instagram story, is he hinting at a possible trade?😳 pic.twitter.com/wnaqeQwJ3M
KC Johnson: Bulls remain active in trade market. FWIW, I’ve heard more chatter surrounding Ayo Dosunmu than Coby White.
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."

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"

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.
KC Johnson: Bulls exec VP Artūras Karnišovas: I wouldn't put any limitations on this roster and the way Josh Giddey and Coby White are playing. We're constantly looking for ways to improve.
No one needed an 83rd game to know these Bulls, who went 39-43 in the regular season, aren’t a playoff team. In the end, a competitive March and April, when half the league is on cruise control, meant nothing. The only postseason experience the young Bulls players got was how to deal with getting your butts kicked in front of your frustrated fans. “We just got to come ready in the summer,” Bulls guard Coby White said. “We’ve got to start preventing this. We’ve got to learn from it and not put ourselves in this situation.”
KC Johnson: Heat 109, Bulls 90 Bulls never led. Heat end Bulls’ season in Play In Tournament for 3rd straight year. Giddey 25 pts, 10 rebs Vucevic 16 pts, 12 rebs White 17 pts, 5-20 FGs, 7 TOs Herro 38 pts
