The Memphis Grizzlies traded Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round NBA draft picks and one first-round pick swap on Father’s Day.

Before trading for Bane, though, the Magic made a huge offer to the Chicago Bulls for Coby White.

White appeared in 74 games for the Bulls this season. He averaged 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 45.3% overall, 37.0% from beyond the arc and 90.2% from the foul line.

White, 25, has career averages of 15.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists. He’ll make $12,888,889 next season in the final year of his contract.

The Bulls missed the playoffs again this year, while the Magic lost to the Boston Celtics in the first round in five games.

Chicago drafted White with the seventh overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso are no longer in Chicago. Nikola Vucevic is still on the team, but he could be traded this offseason.

The Bulls appear to be building around White and Josh Giddey, who is expected to sign a lucrative deal with Chicago this offseason in restricted free agency.

Since trading Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks in 2016, the Bulls have been looking for a star point guard. They may have one in White, who scored a career-high 44 points this season against the Magic on March 6.
