What’s Happening
Breaking it down: “Through the ups and downs, I had a lot of the fandom that never gave up on me and I appreciate them for that,” White dropped of his Bulls tenure.
CHICAGO — Coby White, clad in Charlotte Hornets purple, inched toward the other bench, squinting down the sideline at what remained of the Chicago Bulls he blossomed with. What he saw was unrecognizable. (we’re not making this up)
His former Bulls teammates were scattered at the deadline, many of them swapped for a band of repurposed former lottery talent that’s stumbling down the standings and spiking Chicago’s lottery odds.
The Details
Three weeks ago, White was the longest tenured Bull, the final trace of the GarPax era. That kind of seniority typically commands a postgame mob, or something remotely familial.
After a few hugs, it dawned on him how much the nucleus he knew depleted at the trade deadline.
