  5. Filling NAWs TPE would be sick. Swapped a first at the end of the day but I’ll take it

  8. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE GIANNIS ATTACK

    Guessing its Dillingham + 2nds

    Edit: pretty close. Rob, Miller and 4 2nds.

    That was a really really bad trade we made to acquire Rob

  13. lol bulls suck ass trading hometown kid.

    hes a fking stud be happy. kid improved every yr.

    i at least expected tsj bc chicago kid. will be rooting for wolves.

  19. Nice. I wonder if this means that Minnesota, like Golden State, have come to the conclusion that Milwaukee isn’t actually serious about trading Giannis, and now Minnesota has moved on too.

  20. Scores 15 ppg on offensive vacuum issue that is the Bulls roster, who knows how much he can score on a better roster with the wolves, but averages a decent 3.6 ast on a team full of guards that can assist.

    The team is better after the last two trades.

  21. Bulls fan here, y’all got an absolute DAWG. Exactly the missing piece this team needed too

  26. W trade, we flipped rob and miller for dosunmu who is better than both of them (first round pick for rob still hurts though)

  28. He’s like one of the top 3-point shooters in the league percentage wise. I see him getting solid minutes and helping us out a lot!

  29. Every Bulls fan is sad about this. He was our favorite player. He’s the exact type of player any contending team should love to have for second unit depth and he can occasionally start too.

  30. This is perfect. This roster needs a guard that can create his own buckets and isn’t as huge of negative defensively. If this iteration of our squad cannot get through the west, THEN it’s time to make a larger move.

  32. TC beasts the trade deadline again. This is such a good deal for us. Wing scorer who shoots nearly 40% from deep and is on the rise. LOVE this deal.

  34. As a “catches 95% of all Bulls games start to finish” guy, this one really hurts. Team is finally unloading expiring and while it is incredibly clear how tight the 1st rounder market is- Ayo is on the other side of that line compared to Coby or Vooch, etc. Dosumnu is a 26 year old elite on-ball defender, who can handle the ball as a primary or secondary, and scores at all three levels (45% this year of 4.5 attempts isn’t a fluke or a hot stretch, he’s gonna shoot 39-41% over the next 4 years I’m real confident). Ayo should have been moved for real draft capital.

    The only saving grace here is that , outside of the Bulls, I watch and root for the Wolves more than any team in the league. Ayo is a phenomenal fit next to Ant, and I promise watching him after watching Bones Hyland all year will have Wolves fans salivating. Ayo/Ant/Jaden/Naz/Gobert will be the best defensive unit in the playoffs in my projection, and also holds 4 consistent-elite three point shooters and shot creators. Wolves are now more legit despite making consecutive CF runs, AK is a mf clown who got lucky in Denver because he drafted a top 8 talent of all-time who also happened to be cool staying in Denver his whole career.

  35. Knicks fan here. Follow the Wolves for obvious (JR, Donte) and less obvious (Rudy fan, own AE in my keeper since he was a rook, old enough to remember them as an expansion team) reasons….

    Love this trade for you guys. Ayo is a good player who can score from multiple levels. Fun to watch, seems like a good fit. Not exactly a PG, but he’s a capable second unit scorer who can fit different lineups. Definite upgrade and ballsy to dump Dillingham so fast

    As an aside WTF is Chicago doing. Midwest basketball trashheap, how the mighty have fallen

  36. Bulls fan here. Ayo Dosunmu is my favorite player in the League and I am heartbroken. Take good care of this man. No clue why the Bulls traded him but y’all lowkey fleeced us.
