The Oklahoma City Thunder are also involved: Ousmane Dieng goes to Chicago, while Mason Plumlee heads to OKC

The Charlotte Hornets acquired Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. from The Chicago Bulls in exchange for Collin Sexton and three second-round picks.
As part of the deal, Chicago also takes Ousmane Dieng from The Oklahoma City Thunder, with Mason Plumlee sent to OKC.

White is set to become a free agent in the offseason and had been viewed as a strong deadline trade candidate on a $12.9 million expiring deal.
He’s averaging 18.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 29 games this season with Chicago.

The Bulls receive the least favorable 2029 second-rounder between Charlotte and Denver, plus New York’s 2031 second and Denver’s 2031 second.
The multi-team structure adds OKC’s piece while reshaping Charlotte’s guard rotation ahead of the stretch run.
