In their reported three-team deal with the Bulls and the Pistons, the Timberwolves chose not to pursue Coby White.
The Minnesota Timberwolves served as a key facilitator between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons' recent deal that sent Mike Conley and Jaden Ivey to the Windy City.

In return, the Timberwolves simply settled for cash considerations.
Apparently, Minnesota had the chance to finally get Coby White from Chicago. Yet, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Wolves ultimately didn't go for the sweet-shooting guard.
The Timberwolves have a longstanding interest in White, given their lack of point guard depth and need for firepower to help franchise star Anthony Edwards in carrying the offensive load.
White appeared in 28 games so far this season. He is averaging 18.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 boards.
By not pursuing White, it shows the Timberwolves' commitment to winning the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes.
