White Finds a Home in Charlotte as Bulls Send Sexton, Dieng and Draft Picks
The Charlotte Hornets will acquire Coby White and Mike Conley from the Chicago Bulls, with Chicago receiving Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng, and three second-round picks in return. Dieng is part of a side deal involving Mason Plumlee with Oklahoma City, who will send a second-round pick to Charlotte. White, who turns 26 this month, has averaged 19.5 PPG since becoming a full-time starter in 2023-24, but calf injuries and an expiring contract limited his value; Chicago secured three 2nd-rounders (2029/2031, plus the Knicks’ 2031 pick). The Hornets may re-sign White, while Conley is expected to be a buyout candidate and could potentially return to Minnesota. The Bulls gain Sexton and Dieng and add draft capital as they navigate a crowded backcourt.”,
