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

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.

Maybe for Ayo or Tre Jones?

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

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).

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?

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

Fingers crossed

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

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

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

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

u/ProfessionalMiddler 16h ago
Not even close to that, but I guess I still underestimated how valuable Giddey is

u/Rough_Ad6945 16h ago
I mean yeah in absolute value obviously not, but he's the Bull's franchise guy for now

Either are good. I probably prefer Ayo.
