The NBA website said Tuesday that the young basketball player called the move the right moment after the Bulls embarked on a new direction by releasing several key players ahead of the trade deadline.
"I already feel like it's my turn," White said of his trade prediction after seeing the Bulls' roster changes in recent weeks.
The situation made White realize that his position in the team was no longer secure after seven seasons with the club.
White admitted he was not surprised when Bulls management announced the player exchange decision.
According to him, the change in the team's direction and the large number of players entering free agency means the club must take different steps in building its squad.
The player who once played for the North Carolina Tar Heels at the college level feels fortunate to be able to return to a region that has had an important meaning in his career.
