The Chicago Bulls are currently gearing up for the NBA offseason to be in full swing, having already brought in Bryson Graham to lead their new front office. The Bulls also need to find a new coach to replace Billy Donovan, but for now, many are already looking ahead to what transactions Chicago might make this summer.

Recently, Bulls insider Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times made a prediction for a familiar face Chicago might bring in via free agency.

“Ayo Dosunmu, welcome back home! With only a handful of teams looking to spend some money this summer, the Bulls grab Dosunmu to help with the rebuild after Minnesota can’t afford to bring him back,” predicted Cowley.

Indeed, the Bulls are one of the few teams with real money to spend this summer, and bringing back Dosunmu after just a few months apart could work wonders for Chicago moving forward.

Dosunmu was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves prior to the deadline this past year, and played well during his time there, contributing some elite defense, perimeter shot-making, and some impressively polished playmaking chops.

In fact, in one playoff game against the Denver Nuggets, Dosunmu poured in a career-high of 43 points in an epic win to help Minnesota secure the upset in that series.

Bringing back Dosunmu would give the Bulls some much-needed perimeter defense to implement on a team that is largely challenged on that side of the ball.

It remains to be seen how much Dosunmu will command on his next contract, but his price certainly went up after his strong stint in Minnesota.

NBA free agency is slated to open for business on the evening of June 30.
