Per Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports, the Houston Rockets have been a strong candidate that could land White, as the Chicago Bulls continue to explore any potential ideal deals for the sweet-shooting guard.
In a package that includes a future first-round pick and either Dorian Finney-Smith or Steven Adams, the Bulls are likely to entertain talks with the Rockets.
He is averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 boards while shooting 36.1 percent from the three-point line across 27 games.
The Rockets are a well-known team that is facing a glaring hole in terms of point guard depth with Fred VanVleet still out from ACL injury. As such, the two of Finney-Smith and Adams are certainly players to monitor on their end for a possible deal.
After signing a four-year, $52.7 million contract, Finney-Smith has been brutal so far for the Rockets. After missing the initial portion of the season due to his offseason ankle surgery recovery, the veteran is just averaging 2.9 points on 30 percent shooting in 15.7 minutes.
Meanwhile, Adams was already ruled out for the remainder of 2025-26 after a successful ankle operation. He landed a three-year, $39 million contract extension with Houston last summer.
