"The Chicago Bulls continued to overhaul their roster on Wednesday, sending guard Coby White and Mike Conley to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and three-second round picks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. The Hornets acquired Dieng and a second-rounder from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Mason Plumlee, sources said. Dieng was then re-routed to Chicago amid multiple transactions."
"White was drafted by Chicago in 2019 and his seven seasons with the organization made him the team's current longest-tenured player. But he was set to become a free agent this summer and he now joins the red-hot Hornets, winners of seven consecutive games and eight of their past nine, in the middle of a potential push for the play-in tournament. Charlotte trails Chicago by one game for the No.10 seed in the East."
