In exchangeBulls get the guard Rob Dillingham and forward Leonard Miller, along with four second-round draft picks. Along with Dosunmu, Julian Phillips will head to Minnesota.
In addition, this move comes at a time when the Wolves, as well as the Miami Heat, are clearly gunning for Giannis Antetokounmpoaccording to Jake Fisher of Stein Line. Although it is unlikely that the Milwaukee Bucks would want to let go of their franchise player.
According to Fisher, the Bucks are keeping an eye on Ja Morant.
This is the third trade the Bulls have made this week. They engaged in a tripartite agreement with the Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons sending Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric to Detroit. In exchange, the Bulls received Jaden Ivey from the Pistons and Mike Conley Jr. from the Wolves.
then, Chicago sold center Nikola Vucevic to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Anferni Simmons and a second-round pick. Chicago Bulls on Wednesday traded Kobe White and Conley to the Charlotte Hornets. In return, they get Collin Sexton from Charlotte Usman Dieng of the OKC Thunder and three second-round picks.
Dosunmu, a native of Chicago, is finishing up five years with the Bulls. In 2021, he was drafted by his hometown team from the University of Illinois. He is averaging 15.0 points per game this season and has played in 45.
In his last game, Dosunmu scored 17 points and dished out eight assists in a 131-115 loss to the Bucks.
