What moves will the Bulls make at the NBA trade deadline | CST Podcast
On this episode of CST podcast, FOX Chicago sports anchor Tina Nguyen is joined by The Athletic’s Joel Lorenzi to discuss what moves the Bulls should make ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday and if Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, or Nikola Vucevic remains a Chicago Bull.
CHICAGO - The Bulls have stayed busy this week.
After trading Nikola Vucevic, Dario Saric, Kevin Huerter and Coby White in separate deals, they've made another. Chicago has reportedly traded guard Ayo Dosunmu.
What we know:
The Bulls are trading Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to reports.
This season, Dosunmu has averaged 15 points per game and 3.6 assists per game. In his Bulls' career that's spanned 324 games, Dosunmu has averaged 10.9 points per game.
After the Bulls drafted the Chicago native and Morgan Park High School alum out of Illinois in the 2021 NBA Draft, he earned 2021-22 NBA All-Rookie team honors.
The Bulls reportedly made their second trade in four days earlier on Tuesday, acquiring Jaden Ivey, a 23-year-old guard who was the fifth-overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Purdue, and Mike Conley in exchange for two players.

Then, on Wednesday, the Bulls dealt Coby White to the Charlotte Hornets.

After trading Nikola Vucevic, Dario Saric and Kevin Huerter in two separate deals, they've made arguably the biggest deal of the day. The Bulls reportedly traded guard Coby White.
What's next:
What remains to be seen is what the Bulls might do before the trade deadline ends at 3 p.m. on Thursday.
The team traded its most valuable assets, and now has 14 second-round picks over the next seven drafts at its disposal. Those picks could be flipped now, traded later or used in their respective NBA Drafts.
The trade with the Timberwolves, the trade to acquire Simons and the swap to acquire Guerschon Yabusele have yet to go official. This might mean more players and specifics might land in those swaps when the team officially announces them in the near future.
