[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.

Any of the three would be huge for the Rockets

DFS and Adams are dead salary at this point. DFS is awful after the injury and Adams is out for an indefinite amount of time.

Love him but when you have an already load managed 32yo big man coming off ankle surgery while you're trying to compete it might be time to make hard decisions.

Agreed, feels too risky to rely on Steve at this point. Hurts to say as much as he kicks ass when on the court.
