Breaking News: Coby White Joins the Hornets

Shams Charania from ESPN has confirmed the details of the trade:

  • Charlotte Hornets receive: Coby White, Mike Conley
  • Chicago Bulls receive: Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng*, and three second-round picks

*Mason Plumlee from the Hornets will be going to the Thunder in an additional deal.

Coby White’s New Opportunity in Charlotte

In the final year of his contract, Coby White (with an average of 19 points and 5 assists per game) was looking for an exit from the Bulls. He is joining a Charlotte team that is currently performing well. The former North Carolina player could take on a role similar to that of Collin Sexton, who has been effective for the Hornets this season, averaging 14 points and 4 assists in 22 minutes off the bench. This move may mark the end of White’s stint with the Bulls and could pave the way for a contract extension with Charlotte this summer.

On the other hand, Sexton (also in the final year of his contract) is heading to Chicago along with French player Ousmane Dieng, who will look to secure a place in the former Michael Jordan franchise. Dieng will reunite with rookie Noa Essengue. Veteran guard Mike Conley may negotiate a buyout with the Hornets, potentially returning to Minnesota.
