Minnesota is getting Dosunmo and Julian Phillips, while Chicago receives Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four future second-round picks.

Dosunmu, 26, is in his fifth season with the Bulls and averages 15 points per game. He was drafted in the second round by the Bulls in the 2021 draft out of the University of Illinois. His trade to the Wolves is apparently part of a plan to bolster their backcourt, especially after the departure of their starting point guard, Mike Conley. 

Dillingham, from Kentucky, was the No. 8 overall pick in 2024 by the San Antonio Spurs and was later traded to the Wolves.
