Bulls Poised To Trade Coby White Ayo Dosunmu
Merlin sees the Bulls are expected to stay active before Thursday’s trade deadline, with guards Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu emerging as clear trade candidates. Jake Fischer says it would be an "understatement" to suggest teams do not expect both to move, noting he is "struggling" to find a logical landing spot for White and that there has been "some tangible discussion" about Dosunmu for Bennedict Mathurin. Chicago’s recent moves — adding Jaden Ivey, Mike Conley Jr. and Anfernee Simons while sending out Kevin Huerter and Nikola Vučević — have made the backcourt crowded. Merlin notes the calculus: White is a 25-year-old scorer who still carries upside when healthy, and Dosunmu is enjoying a career year as a high-efficiency bench spark. Contending teams covet that versatility, but Chicago risks losing both for nothing in free agency if it holds. The Bulls must choose between protecting a fragile playoff push and turning depth into long-term value.
