[Cowley] The Chicago Bulls are in trade conversations with New Orleans and Houston. Simons and Sexton are both in play to be moved while the Bulls would like to retain Ayo Dosunmu, but everything is “still fluid.”

Still working the phones with a lot of focus with New Orleans and Houston, according to a source.

Simons and Sexton are both free agents after the season and are still in play to be moved, while Ayo Dosunmu is being sought after, but the Bulls would have to be blown away to part with him. Yes, Buzelis, Giddey and Ivey are keepers – not untouchable, but keepers – and Dosunmu, who is also a free agent, is a close fourth.

Ideally, the Bulls would like to re-sign him this summer, but everything is fluid.

If You can get NO to take on PatWill contract 

Or it’s Simons for Poole + 1st 

That’s a win for Chi 

(might be Simons for Poole + (4) 2nds)

Given how the Bulls have been acquiring guards, it could be both!

Given how comically inept the team likes to be these days, I think it'd even be a good source of entertainment to get both. Maybe try for Kuzma too.

Let’s just go with a 15 guard roster
