Chicago Bulls insiders discuss mock trade for star guard

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Ayo Dosunmu

There are two Chicago Bulls guards who have come up in trade talks this offseason. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White have, with Dosunmu being viewed as the more likely player to be moved. The Bulls have little roster flexibility right now, so trades are the only way they can really change things.

Flipping Dosunmu would provide that flexibility while adding some resources, presumably. What could Chicago even get for the guard? A few insiders posited one mock trade to consider.

If Ayo Dosunmu gets traded, the Chicago Bulls could end up with a fairly decent return. Cam Smith suggested a deal including Dosunmu and a 2028 second-round pick for Brandon Clarke of the Memphis Grizzlies. “Clarke is a lively body that plays in the frontcourt, very athletic, and would fit Billy Donovan’s system,” Smith said.

David Haugh admitted that he’d prefer to get someone without an injury concern back for Dosunmu. Clarke missed the 2024-25 season with an Achilles tear. Gabe Ramirez said that moving for Clarke would help Chicago finally cement the power forward spot since Patrick Williams hasn’t really worked out.

Ramirez added that the injury history could mean the Bulls land Clarke for cheap. Smith circled back to say that the Memphis star could be motivated to get back and better than ever, which would be good for the Bulls.

Since Dosunmu is a former second-round pick, the value in trading him and a future second-round pick for Clarke is not terrible. Dosunmu has been very good and fits the Bulls’ system well, but they don’t necessarily have as much of a need for guards right now.

Dosunmu is in the final year of his contract, which makes him an easy trade target. Contending teams love to bring in short-term rentals, and they could do worse than adding a two-way guard like Dosunmu. There’s no guarantee he gets traded, but it’s plausible, and the Bulls might want to do it to quietly get some more assets while they refuse to outright tear down and rebuild.
