Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Coby White
Chicago Bulls Receive: G Kendrick Nunn, C DeAndre Jordan, Two Second-Round Picks
The focus of this NBA trade scenario would be Coby White as he’d be headed to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Chicago Bulls added two point guards in the offseason in Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso—reducing the need to wait for White to develop.
White has been featured in NBA trade rumors for a while now but the Bulls have not pulled the trigger on a deal.
Kendrick Nunn and DeAndre Jordan would lead the return from the Lakers. They are both bench pieces for Los Angeles and could be the first players moved if the front office wants to make another splash.
The Bulls could use another big coming off the bench and would receive a combo guard replacement in the short-term in Kendrick Nunn when he returns to game action in his own right.
