However, it would appear the other decisions regarding the roster are taking place behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent article from Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, it was reported that Chicago has been \u201cgauging\u201d the market of both Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rbhgktifr\">\u201cAyo Dosunmu and Coby White have drawn plenty of trade interest around the league, sources said. More teams have inquired about Dosunmu since before the draft than White,\u201d Siegel reported. \u201cWhile the Chicago Bulls could wind up holding onto both guards and address their futures at the trade deadline, there is still buzz that exists regarding one of these players being dealt this offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rbhgktifr\">White has been arguably the best player on Chicago\u2019s roster in recent years. He\u2019s emerged as their go-to scorer and shown flashes of a future partnership next to Giddey. However, he is entering the final year of his current contract and will likely want a pay rise next season. He will be an unrestricted free agent this time next year.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rbhgktifr\">Dosunmu, on the other hand, is likely at the back of the guard rotation. Tre Jones has impressed Billy Donovan since arriving midway through last season, which has likely made Dosunmu\u2019s path to legitimate minutes even more difficult.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-mm-id=\"_rbhgktifr\">Bulls Have Been Actively Shopping Dosunmu<\/h2>\n<p>According to K.C. Johnson, who was\u00a0speaking on \u201c670 The Score\u201d\u00a0in Chicago, Dosunmu\u2019s name has been the one floated around in regards to trade talks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not heard Coby White\u2019s name,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThat\u2019s all I can say. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not going to get traded. \u2026 In my conversations with people that I talk to around the league, I\u2019ve heard Ayo Dosunmu\u2019s name way more than Coby White\u2019s name\u2026I\u2019ve got my antenna up over which guard is going to be moved, and I can just tell you from my conversations I\u2019ve heard Ayo\u2019s name more than Coby\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dosunmu, 25, suited up for 46 games last season, averaging 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He shot 49.2% from the field and 32.8% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dosunmu is the Most Likely Bulls Player to be Traded<\/h2>\n<p>Bleacher Report\u2019s Dan Favale recently pinpointed\u00a0Dosunmu as the player the Bulls would be most likely trade this summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAyo Dosunmu is the best bet,\u201d\u00a0Favale wrote when discussing the most likely player to be traded.\u00a0\u201cHe is entering the final year of a contract on a salary that\u2019s not large enough to realistically extend ($7.5 million), and Chicago has Josh Giddey (restricted free agent), Coby White and Lonzo Ball to populate its backcourt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trading Dosunmu and\/or White makes sense given the lack of defense Giddey brings to the table. The Bulls will likely need a point-of-attack defender to pair with the playmaking guard if they\u2019re chasing long-term success. However, for now, it wouldn\u2019t make sense to trade both guards this summer. Still, with so much time between now and the start of next season, anything can happen. Interestingly, that\u2019s before we factor in Nikola Vucevic and his expiring contract, too.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Taylor is a basketball reporter covering the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns for Heavy.
