Would this trade make sense for the Chicago Bulls?
The Chicago Bulls were aggressive last NBA trade deadline and this set them up for what went down during free agency. Now, the Bulls are off to a hot start this season and this shows the direction they are headed. White might not be part of that future and this is where a trade comes into play.
Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan make up the new-look backcourt for the Bulls. They are both new acquisitions and it seems to be working over the first two weeks of the season.
Coby White has not played as he is recovering from shoulder surgery and will return next month. When he gets back on the floor, it is likely that he is used as a combo-guard off the bench.
The front office could decide that White benefits the team more in a trade than he would come off the bench. If this is the case, the Bulls could take advantage of whatever value White currently has.

Making a move to trade White is the decision that needs to be made at some point moving forward. The Bulls are looking like a playoff team and it is because of the new regime they have shown on the court.
