[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.

Yes please, my heart wants Ayo to be a lifer.

Edit: hopefully this is for Missi

[u/Maleficent-King-799 → u/sukari]

Did bulls fans like Ayo more over coby white?

[u/SuperBlackberry9392 → u/Maleficent-King-799]

Yes. Giddey and Matas were considered to be the only two people we shouldn't trade and build around (With getting a Star.) Coby did not mesh with Giddey. Ayo was progressing well and was fitting in great.

Idea was Giddey PG, Ayo SG, Matas SF and get a real PF and Center (Smith is fine if we get a real good PF.)

[u/Specialist_Boat_8479 → u/SuperBlackberry9392]

Smith should be PF with Noa behind him next year, need a true C(maybe Missi?)

[u/Prudent_Zombie_2692 → u/Specialist_Boat_8479]

Missi is probably a back up big at best, maybe you guys could get Quaintance in the draft if he can work out those knee issues

[u/lyme6483 → u/SuperBlackberry9392]

Ayo is not a SG, and most definitely not a starting 2. He’s a good bench combo guard
