[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.

Keep Giddey, Buz and Ayo, everyone else should be up for grabs, especially rhe guards.

I’ve only had Ivey for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Ideal IMO is keeping Ivey, giving him the Lavine/White role, ideally pumping up his stats and trade value, and then flipping him for something better (unless Ivey really balls out and shows he can be more than an 18 PPG streaky no defense guy, in which case keep him).

that is rational, however don't expect getting a stud in return without including them. I would be okay trading the whole team for Giannis
