Minnesota Timberwolves Trade for Chicago Bulls Guard Ayo Dosunmu
- On Thursday, the Chicago Bulls traded guard Ayo Dosunmu and forward Julian Phillips to the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Rob Dillingham, small forward Leonard Miller and four second-round picks, ESPN and The Athletic reported.
- The Bulls, in a broader rebuild, traded six of eight players on expiring contracts and accumulated nine second-round draft picks to focus on a youth timeline with Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey.
- Dosunmu, 26, is averaging a career-high 15.0 points with 51.4%/45.1%/85.7% splits and is in the final year of a three-year, $21 million contract making about $7.5 million this season with unrestricted free agent status.
- By adding Dosunmu, Minnesota expects an immediate rotation boost alongside Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Donte DiVincenzo while addressing their limited draft picks.
- Longer term, the Wolves can decide whether to commit to Dosunmu or move on, as he will reach unrestricted free agency at season's end.
