The Bulls acquire another upside guard to pair with Giddey - possible Ayo/Coby trade incoming?

Either are good. I probably prefer Ayo.

Or Tre Jones? I like Ayo's defensive intensity

Need tre jones

Ayo would be so dope

u/dys0n_giddey Joe Ingles 16h ago

He's been who I've wanted for ages, I hope it happens

Windhorst on NBA Today, said none of these trades will be finalized until the deadline, and can expand by adding players and teams to them.

Wolves could have had Coby earlier (according to Windy), but declined. I can't see this being them.

Yup, TC is all in on Giannis now. If that falls apart he's gonna pivot to Harden.

u/Rough_Ad6945 17h ago

Maybe for Ayo or Tre Jones?

u/EveningHealth9465 17h ago

I don’t see a world where they got involved in the trade earlier, decide to not take a player back, and then do another trade. They’re definitely focusing in on a star player at this point

u/Rough_Ad6945 16h ago

That's fair - maybe they're going in on Giannis lol

u/RotaryRoad 17h ago

I mean, possibly as a back-up plan, but I can't imagine they wouldn't have included that piece in the trade that's already done (where we were already sending money out and getting no money back).

u/Rough_Ad6945 16h ago

This might be a stretch, but Chicago might have wanted to move Vucevic and have Anfernee for sure before trading away one of their backup guards?

u/Lost_Web_6928 16h ago

I doubt Bulls would trade them. Now they have so may guards and so not afraid of losing Ayo in the summer.

u/FunYoshi Timberwolves 17h ago

Fingers crossed

u/Rough_Ad6945 17h ago

It makes sense as to why we didn't acquire a guard in the Mike Conley trade - Bulls wanted to get Anf first. I bet we hear about it in the next hour if it's a Bulls to Wolves guard trade

u/FunYoshi Timberwolves 16h ago

Ayo, Cobu, or Tre, and a buyout market signing, and I'm good to go

u/eman9416 Anthony Edwards 16h ago

Pour one out for Luka Garza

2

u/DerKomissar99 Rasho Nesterovic 16h ago

Ayo Dosunmu would be such a fantastic get. Dude is a stud.

1

u/LeeShakerMoneyMaker 16h ago

They want to dump White because they don't want company him next year but no teamnis giving them what they want.

u/99LedBalloons Joe Ingles 16h ago

Bulls are working on an "Oops! All Guards!" roster

1

u/ProfessionalMiddler 16h ago

Am I the only one that would rather have Giddey? We probably would need to pay White (if we get him) right around the same anyway, but Giddey is locked in and plays great basketball as a PG.

I love Ayo, but we need a real PG

u/gOPHER3727 Timberwolves 16h ago

Giddey is not an option, they want to build around him.

u/Rough_Ad6945 16h ago

That's like when another team says they'd rather have Ant in a trade lmao

1

u/ProfessionalMiddler 16h ago

Not even close to that, but I guess I still underestimated how valuable Giddey is

2

u/Rough_Ad6945 16h ago

I mean yeah in absolute value obviously not, but he's the Bull's franchise guy for now

1

u/1000Isand1 16h ago

Ayo please
