Just as the NBA trade season begins to heat up, a Chicago Bulls player has caught the eye of a Western Conference rival looking to upgrade its point guard spot. According to Chicago Sun-Times’ Joe Cowley, the Minnesota Timberwolves have inquired about Coby White’s availability.
Cowley wrote, "The Minnesota Timberwolves have been big-game hunting for a point guard… The source said that Minnesota is not looking to wait until February and the trade deadline to get a deal done, looking to fix the primary ball-handling situation that’s been an issue all season long for them."
