White has drawn plenty of interest from the Wolves, Rockets and other teams as the Bulls have maintained an active approach in the trade market.
All season long, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been consistently tagged as a suitor for Coby White. But with just a few days until the trade deadline, they found a new market competitor for the Chicago Bulls guard.

Although the Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets are significantly on the trade block for White, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times revealed that there are also a few other teams engaged in talks with the Bulls for a potential deal.
"The Bulls front office remained active in trade talks on Tuesday, with Coby White still the piece most frequently discussed, according to a source," Cowley wrote. "Minnesota and Houston are still in the mix, but it’s not just a two-team race with the Feb. 5 trade deadline approaching quickly."
After he didn't recommit for a new contract with the Bulls last offseason, White finds himself an odd man out in the franchise. He holds an expiring $12.8 million contract and will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
White is averaging solid numbers this year, registering 19.0 points, 4.7 assists and 3.5 boards per game. As one of the league's top three-point shooters, he holds a career 37. percent efficiency from downtown.
Given his ability to score and play-making potential, White is an intriguing asset to pursue among several contending teams.
