Are more Bulls trades coming? Monday morning before NBA free agency, CHSN’s K.C. Johnson was on 670 The Score in Chicago to <a href="https://x.com/670TheScore/status/1939680642725220667" rel="noopener">discuss the latest</a> on the Bulls’ trade talks. Johnson revealed he’s hearing more about guard Ayo Dosunmu than Coby White.</p><p>“I have not heard Coby White’s name,” Johnson said. “That’s all I can say. That doesn’t mean he’s not going to get traded. … In my conversations with people that I talk to around the league, I’ve heard Ayo Dosunmu’s name way more than Coby White’s name.”</p><p>Johnson went on to say that he does think the Bulls are going to trade another guard after the Ball-for-Okoro deal because they want to re-sign Tre Jones, an unrestricted free agent. Jones played well in Chicago this past season after coming over in the Zach LaVine trade, though an injury ended his season early. There’s also the matter of Josh Giddey getting a new contract, which is a “priority,” making for a crowded backcourt if Jones does indeed return. Veteran Jevon Carter is back in the fold as well after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-jevon-carter-makes-6-8-million-contract-decision-before-free-agency">exercising his player option</a>.</p><p>With all this in mind, it seems as if Dosunmu is the likelier trade option than White, at least based on what Johnson is hearing.</p><p>“I’ve got my antenna up over which guard is going to be moved, and I can just tell you from my conversations I’ve heard Ayo’s name more than Coby’s name,” Johnson continued.</p><h2><b>Ayo Dosunmu vs. Coby White trade</b></h2><p>Both Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White have one season left on their t<a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/yearly" rel="noopener">hree-year contracts</a>. Dosunmu is set to make $7.5 million, while White is at nearly $13 million. However, after White exploded in the last few months of the 2024-25 season, he’s in line for a substantial raise. Dosunmu, meanwhile, had somewhat of a down year and saw it end early due to injury.</p><p>White likely won’t extend his contract this offseason with the Bulls because he could get way more on the open market as a free agent in 2026. That should be taken into account in these trade talks, along with the question of whether White and Giddey make for a viable long-term starting backcourt. It’s unclear just what Chicago would need to make a White trade, with the assumption being it would require a huge offer. Is any team willing to make that kind of big offer to pry White away?</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-coby-white-posts-cryptic-ig-story-amid-trade-rumors">White raised eyebrows</a> with a cryptic Instagram post over the weekend, but as of right now, it seems as if he’s not going anywhere and that Dosunmu could be on the move. However, nothing is guaranteed in the NBA, so perhaps the Bulls have a surprise up their sleeve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If that does end up happening, the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers could be a pair of potential landing spots for him.</p><p>Simons has turned himself into a solid scorer early in his career, as he is fresh off averaging 19.3 points on 42.6% shooting for the Trail Blazers last season. While Boston has <a href="https://www.masslive.com/celtics/2025/06/what-dodging-second-apron-means-for-boston-celtics-trade-possibilities.html" rel="noopener">gotten under the second apron</a> of the salary cap, they still have work to do to avoid the first apron, which is why a trade involving Simons is on the table. If they do want to move him, it seems like the Bulls could be the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/siegels-scoop-latest-warriors-jonathan-kuminga-nba-free-agency-intel">most sensible destination for him</a>.</p><p>“After trading Lonzo Ball on Saturday and continuing to field calls about Coby White, the Chicago Bulls may need a new guard next to Josh Giddey, who the team intends to re-sign in free agency,” Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints wrote. “The Bulls like to play fast and shoot a lot of threes, which would fit Simons’ style of play perfectly.”</p><p>“More importantly, from Boston’s point of view, Nikola Vucevic is a veteran big man who would make a lot of sense as a one-year replacement for Porzingis. Such a swap would immediately move the Celtics out of the first apron and give them a key veteran at center. Although there is no confirmation that the two teams have discussed such a scenario, the Celtics have been mentioned by league sources as a team with interest in Vucevic previously.”</p><h2><b>Clippers could also be potential landing spot for Anfernee Simons</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Anfernee-Simons-controls-the-ball.jpg"><figcaption>Troy Wayrynen-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Considering Chicago’s need for backcourt help, and Boston’s long-standing interest in Nikola Vucevic (plus their need for help at center after trading Kristaps Porzingis), the premise for a trade is already in place. Of course, the Bulls aren’t the only potential suitor for Simons, as the Clippers were also floated as a potential trade partner, although there are a couple of different issues they are dealing with that could make a deal more difficult to pull off.</p><p>“Another team worth mentioning regarding Simons, if the Celtics were to relocate him again, is the Los Angeles Clippers,” Siegel said. “Simons is a player LA has been linked to previously in trade rumors, but the Clippers have their own problems to sort through with Norman Powell in the final year of his contract and James Harden potentially opting out to demand more money in free agency.”</p><p>Even though the Celtics have already swung a pair of big trades this offseason, it seems like their work is only just getting started. Simons could ultimately stay put, but if teams begin to swarm Boston for him on the trade market, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him get dealt, with Chicago and Los Angeles immediately standing out as a pair of logical suitors.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He shot 45.3% from the field, 37.0% from three-point range, and 90.2% from the free-throw line. The sixth-year guard has now logged 422 regular-season games, all with Chicago, with career averages of 15.2 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds.</p><p>White’s contract situation complicates matters for the Bulls. He’s entering the final year of his current deal, worth $12,888,889, and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. Under the current CBA, the Bulls would be limited to offering an extension starting at 120% of his 2025–26 salary, well below what he’s expected to command on the open market. With an extension unlikely, Chicago could attempt to trade him while his value is high rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.</p><p>Meanwhile, Lonzo Ball remains a potential trade candidate, particularly due to his team-friendly contract and uncertain future. Ball, who turns 28 in October, is owed $10 million in each of the next two seasons, with a team option for 2026–27. After missing two full seasons with a serious knee injury, Ball returned to play 35 games in 2024–25, averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. He posted shooting splits of 36.6% from the field, 34.4% from three, and 81.5% from the free-throw line.</p><p>Over his six-year career with the Lakers, Pelicans, and Bulls, Ball has averaged 11.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.5 rebounds in 287 games. While questions remain about his durability, his upside as a two-way playmaker and his manageable contract could attract teams like the Dallas Mavericks, who have previously been linked to him.</p><p>Though no deal has materialized yet, the Bulls’ willingness to engage in talks for both guards signals a potentially active offseason. With the draft in progress and free agency looming, Chicago may view this as the ideal window to retool its backcourt and balance short-term performance with long-term flexibility.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Like every draft, there have been a lot of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-what-jake-fischer-hearing-about-draft-kristaps-porzingis-trades">rumors swirling about what the Bulls will do</a> on draft night. They are currently in possession of the 12th pick, but there have been some rumors about Chicago trading up for a better spot.</p><p>Bulls insider K.C. Johnson address the 2025 NBA Draft on Tuesday, and he revealed <a href="https://x.com/KCJHoop/status/1937538376619454775" rel="noopener">what he has heard</a> in terms of what Chicago is planning to do at the draft. He isn’t hearing a lot <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/nba-rumors-bulls-potential-plan-move-up-nba-draft-revealed">about the Bulls trading up</a>, and he is also expecting the team to select either Collin Murray-Boyles from South Carolina, or French phenom Noa Essengue.</p><p>“From everything I’ve been told, they are very confident they’re going to get a good player at 12,” K.C. Johnson said during an episode of <i>The Fastbreak. </i>“I have not heard much talk about them trading up. It’s a very eye of the beholder draft, so I do think a good player will be there available at number 12, and the two names that I’m hearing the most linked to the Bulls are Colin Murray-Boyles and Noah Essengue, the French prospect, pretty different players.”</p><p>Collin Murray-Boyles just finished up his sophomore season at South Carolina, and he was a standout in the SEC. His dominance on defense is what stands out most.</p><p>“Collin Murray-Boyles is probably the best defensive prospect in the draft, just very versatile, very confident in his defensive ability,” Johnson added. “His comp at the combine that he pulled us was OCK’s Jalen Williams, so that’s a pretty good comp if you’re a Bulls fan and he’s available at 12. If he’s not, Noa Essengue is the pick.”</p><p>Noa Essengue is a young prospect with a ton of potential. He has professional experience overseas, and he seems to fit the mold of what the Bulls are looking for.</p><p>“That’s a bet on upside,” Johnson continued. “He’s 18, played professionally, very athletic. Can get up and down the floor. And that’s kind of the big takeaway and the big theme that you’re hearing associated with the Bulls is they definitely want to add a player that fits with this style of play, you know, with getting up and down the court, playing fast in transition, taking a lot of threes. Obviously they need help with two-way players. The Bulls are lacking in those, so both those players project to be eventually solid two-way players in this league.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-derik-queen-buzz-continues-nba-draft-nears">Derik Queen is a name that has been mentioned a lot regarding the Bulls</a>, and if Collin Murray-Boyles and Noa Essengue don’t work out, then Chicago will be more likely to go that route.</p><p>“If they’re not available, the one name that I’m hearing that is just going to be such a disparate opinion maker is Derik Queen,” Johnson said. “I mean, he is projecting, at least now, to be a draft day slide. If he’s there at number 12, do the Bulls bet on that extreme offensive upside? He’s got question marks about his athleticism, his work ethic, his defense, but man, he is as accomplished of an offensive big as you will find, and the Bulls certainly need some long-term answers at center with Nikola Vucevic’s future uncertain, and Zach Collins up after next year.”</p><p>This is a big draft for the Bulls. Last year’s Matas Buzelis pick is looking good, and Chicago needs to keep the momentum going.</p><p>“Wednesday and Thursday are going to be really, really interesting to monitor,” Johnson concluded. “Obviously, the Bulls, by gaining control back of their first-round pick in the Zach LaVine trade, have to start hitting on these first-round picks. They appear to have done so with Matas Buzelis, and they need to do so moving forward. They’ve got a lot of work to do to catch the Pacers and others in the Eastern Conference.”</p><p>The 2025 NBA Draft will get underway at 8:00 ET from the Barclays Center in New York on Wednesday night. The first round of the draft will take place on Wednesday, and the second round will go down on Thursday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, what we don’t know is who the Bulls are going to trade and who they are going to get. There a ton of rumors surrounding the team right now in terms of potential targets like Kristaps Porzingis and Jonathan Kuminga, and some players that might leave Chicago in a trade are Lonzo Ball, Coby White, Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu.</p><p>Because of age and current value, it feels like a certainty that the Bulls are going to trade Nikola Vucevic this offseason. However, there are some other players that might go as well. Lonzo Ball and Coby White have been at the center of numerous trade rumors, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-nba-draft-big-board-5-0-76ers-final-ace-bailey-vj-edgecombe-decision">Bulls still aren’t exactly sure</a> what they want to do with those players.</p><p>“The Bulls continue to receive calls from teams inquiring about Lonzo Ball, sources said,” ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel said in a recent report. “Chicago has not yet signaled whether they will be willing to trade the 27-year-old guard, who fought hard to make a comeback from multiple knee surgeries. Both Ball and Coby White are receiving a lot of interest.”</p><p>If the Bulls want to trade either Ball or White, it sounds like they will easily be able to do it. White has emerged as arguably the best player on the team in recent years, but it seems like Chicago is more interested in going all-in on Josh Giddey, who had a fantastic finish to this past season. If that’s the case, White would bring a lot of value to a trade.</p><p>Ball doesn’t hold as much value, and he also doesn’t bring as much to the Bulls’ roster as he used to. He has gone through a remarkable recovery from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for two years, but he isn’t the same player that he was before he went down. It might be time for Chicago to move on.</p><p>There is a reportedly a lot of interest in both Lonzo Ball and Coby White, and the Bulls could probably land a good amount of talent/picks if they do decide to trade them.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bulls are in possession of the 12th overall pick, but there have been some rumors about Chicago trading up for a higher spot. We’ll have to wait and see how it plays out. Speaking of rumors, there has also been a lot of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-bulls-showed-jonathan-kuminga-interest-in-prior-star-trade-talks">talk about the Bulls being involved in other trades</a>. All in all, it’s shaping up to be a busy offseason.</p><p>One player to watch in terms of a Bulls trade is Golden State Warriors PF Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga to the Bulls has been a hot topic of discussion as of late, and it continues to look like Chicago’s big splash this offseason <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/inside-the-celtics-first-big-trade?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=166730327&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=39f60&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">could involve him</a>.</p><p>“We reported over the weekend that the Bulls are weighing a run at restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga by way of sign-and-trade talks with Golden State,” Jake Fischer said in a report. “There have been some fresh whispers since then about the Bulls angling to trade up from their No. 12 spot in Wednesday’s draft in pursuit of size.”</p><p>ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel also recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-nba-draft-big-board-4-0-ace-bailey-vj-edgecombe-questions-latest-intel">reported on the possibility of the Bulls trading up</a> to potentially take Ace Bailey:</p><p>“Multiple sources have also relayed intel about Chicago exploring the possibility of moving up in this year’s draft should Bailey be passed on by the 76ers, or another team that trades up, with the third pick,” Siegel said. “How the Bulls could possibly move up from the 12th pick to have a chance at selecting Bailey would be the ultimate question should the Rutgers star fall in the top five.”</p><p>Another big that has been mentioned as a target for the Bulls is Kristaps Porzingis. While the Bulls are looking to add some size and potentially trade away Nikola Vucevic, Fischer hasn’t heard anything about the team pursuing Porzingis.</p><p>“The Bulls are not currently chasing Porziņģis, league sources say, although some rival teams have been openly wondering if they might,” Fischer added. “Chicago is known, at the very least, to be evaluating the overall state of its center rotation with Nikola Vučević, after a strong season, having been pursued as a trade target since last February’s in-season trade deadline and now, at 34, entering the final season of his contract at $21.5 million.”</p><p>Nikola Vucevic seems to be the most likely trade candidate for the Bulls this offseason given his age and current value. The fact that the Warriors could use a veteran big with his skillset only amplifies the Jonathan Kuminga chatter.</p><p>A big offseason for the Bulls is underway, and we are close to seeing the dominos start to fall. It will get started when the 2025 NBA Draft gets underway at 8:00 ET from the Barclays Center in New York on Wednesday night. The first round of the draft will take place on Wednesday, and the second round will go down on Thursday. Will the Bulls trade up, or are they satisfied with picking 12th?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Fischer would point out that Chicago has had “ongoing interest” in the 22-year-old and that they’ve been active in trade discussions for him <a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/the-latest-on-jonathan-kuminga-much?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=166476652&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;r=39f60&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">“over the past two seasons.”</a></p><p>“None of those teams, though, have been mentioned to date as potential destinations for Kuminga,” Fischer wrote. “It does seem, at this juncture, that the most likely outcome for the Warriors’ restricted free agent swingman is a return to Golden State.”</p><p>“However…Sources say that Chicago has an ongoing interest in the 22-year-old forward,” Fischer continued. “This tracks with past interest that the Bulls have shown in Kuminga in previous trade discussions with Golden State over the past two seasons involving players such as Alex Caruso, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vučević.”</p><h2><b>The Bulls’ connection to Jonathan Kuminga has been well-known</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Jonathan-Kuminga-on-May-12-2025.-2.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/how-warriors-plan-build-around-stephen-curry-jimmy-butler-siegels-scoop">Bulls being connected to Kuminga isn’t new,</a> as Fischer pointed out, as ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel mentioned in May that the team, along with the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, have “preliminary interest” in the swingman.</p><p>“The Nets, along with the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, are three teams with preliminary interest in Kuminga ahead of free agency, sources said,” Siegel wrote. “Both Kuminga and the Warriors could come to an understanding on a new, fair contract, but the idea of exploring sign-and-trade opportunities seems like the best path for both parties.”</p><p>As Fischer would continue, Kuminga’s future could look a little clearer once Durant is traded and on a new team, which would bring a shift to the plan’s other teams. This includes Miami, which is in active pursuit of Durant, and if the team is unable to land him, the front office could look to Kuminga.</p><p>“The reality for Kuminga is that a clearer read on his summer landscape is unlikely to reveal itself until Kevin Durant’s trade future is resolved and the NBA’s most accomplished scoring forward, widely regarded as available, has a new team,” Fischer wrote. “There is a belief among some rival teams, for example, that Miami could emerge as a potential Kuminga suitor — among various guards and swingmen that the Heat could target — if Pat Riley and Co. do not win the Durant Trade Sweepstakes.”</p><p>It remains to be seen where Kuminga ends up this summer, as many finalities seem to be in play.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bulls have to find a way to start trending in the right direction, and they haven’t positioned themselves well in the NBA Draft to change their directory that way. So, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-heat-bulls-again-linked-to-jonathan-kuminga-sign-and-trade">Bulls are expected to make some big trades</a> this offseason. Someone from the core will be gone next season, and Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu are both <a href="https://x.com/CHSN_Bulls/status/1935006143048290755" rel="noopener">potential trade options</a>.</p><p>The Bulls are likely going to re-sign Josh Giddey this offseason, and they will also likely look to trade away some key pieces. Insider K.C. Johnson thinks that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-insider-reveals-chicago-competitive-trade-desires">Chicago needs to make a decision and trade</a> either Coby White or Ayo Dosunmu.</p><p>“I’ve been saying for a while in my from my seat, they’ve got to try to look to trade either Ayo [Dosunmu] or Coby [White] because I think it’ll be very hard to resign both of them after next year, when they both have unrestricted free agency,” K.C. Johnson said on <i>The Chicago Lead. </i>“So I think you got to get out in front of things like that. What’s crazy is they value both those players highly, and they obviously are a big part of how they want to play stylistically, to your point, the stylistic change. So I think that’d be a tough decision to make, but that’s a front office’s job is to make hard decisions.”</p><p>If the Bulls are going to resign Giddey this year, they probably aren’t going to be resigning both White and Dosunmu next season. If a trade is going to happen eventually, it makes sense to do it now. Desmond Bane’s recent trade could have a big impact on the Bulls’ decision as well. If the Memphis Grizzlies can secure a huge package like that for Bane, can Chicago get something similar for White?</p><p>“I don’t have an answer to that in terms of what they’re planning on doing,” Johnson continued. “I think to your point, that is an accurate and fair question. What I would say is, first of all, Bane makes a lot more, so you’re going to get more back. And I would also argue that, I mean, as good as Coby White is, Bane is a much better defensive player. But yeah, I mean, again, you’ve got to make these hard decisions, because you’re not going to be resigning Josh Giddey this summer and Ayo Dosumu and Coby White after next summer. I just don’t see that. So I think you got to get out in front of one of those two situations.”</p><p>Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White have both grown into big roles with the Bulls over the year, but there is a decent chance that one of them is on the move soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bulls lost a coin toss with the Dallas Mavericks ahead of the NBA Draft lottery, and it turned into a big what could’ve been moment as Dallas went on to get the top pick in the draft. The Bulls, on the other hand, have to settle for 12. There should be some good options available, and one of them might be Maryland’s Derik Queen.</p><p>Derik Queen is one of the more intriguing players in the draft because of his size and athleticism, but his shooting struggles are definitely a concern. Still, there has been a lot of buzz about the Bulls potentially taking Queen with the 12th overall pick. According to ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel, it sounds like there is a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-nba-draft-big-board-4-0-ace-bailey-vj-edgecombe-questions-latest-intel">solid chance that Queen is available</a>.</p><p>“There is also momentum building for Derik Queen, one of the best frontcourt prospects in this draft, to be selected in the 10-14 range,” Siegel wrote earlier this week. “Queen has been linked the most to the Chicago Bulls with the 12th pick, yet league sources indicate that the Bulls are still evaluating a few other names in this spot to provide more athleticism and length to their roster.”</p><p>Queen is definitely a player to watch for the Bulls, but it’s not like the team has its mind made up and will 100% draft him if he is available. There are going to be a lot of talented players still up for grabs when it is the Bulls’ turn to pick, and there are a few other guys that they are thinking about right now.</p><p>“Egor Demin, Carter Bryant, and Asa Newell are three players who have also come up in conversations about the Bulls,” Siegel added.</p><p>It”ll be interesting to see which way the Bulls go here as this is another crucial draft for this team that has been stuck for a while now. The Bulls need to find a way out of the mud, and a home run draft pick can go a long way. They need to find a way to have a successul draft, and that could include <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/nba-rumors-bulls-potential-plan-move-up-nba-draft-revealed">Chicago trying to trade up</a> for a higher pick. The Bulls are weighing their options.</p><p>This year’s NBA Draft will take place at the Barclays Center in New York, and it will get underway on June 25th.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bulls nearly struck gold in the NBA Draft lottery as a coin flip with the Dallas Mavericks ended up having a ton on the line, but the Mavericks won the toss and eventually landed the first overall pick in the draft. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/chicago-bulls-perfect-outcome-12-pick-2025-nba-draft">Bulls, on the other hand, got stuck with the 12th pick</a>, so they are in a familiar spot.</p><p>After another trip to the NBA Play-In Tournament, the Bulls weren’t bad enough to have a real chance to getting a top draft pick, but they weren’t good enough to be a legitimate contender in the postseason. Chicago was eliminated with a loss in its first play-in game, and now a lot is on the line this offseason. The Bulls need to find a way to break out of this awkward mediocrity phase, and trading up in the NBA Draft could be the solution.</p><p>The Bulls have been stuck in the same spot for a few years now as they aren’t willing to tank for good draft picks, but they also aren’t really making any big trades or signings to get themselves on the path to being a contender. If Chicago wants to see change, it needs to be willing to change. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-nba-draft-big-board-4-0-ace-bailey-vj-edgecombe-questions-latest-intel">Trading up in the NBA draft</a> would be a step in the right direction.</p><p>“Multiple sources have also relayed intel about Chicago exploring the possibility of moving up in this year’s draft should [Ace] Bailey be passed on by the 76ers, or another team that trades up, with the third pick,” ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel said earlier this week. “How the Bulls could possibly move up from the 12th pick to have a chance at selecting Bailey would be the ultimate question should the Rutgers star fall in the top five.”</p><p>The one roadblock for the Bulls is that they have to have something to trade. A lot teams with top picks in this year’s draft don’t seem to be interested in anything that Chicago can offer from a player standpoint.</p><p>“None of the three rebuilding teams behind the 76ers’ pick (Charlotte, Utah, and Washington) would hold much interest in anything Chicago has to offer except draft compensation in future years,” Siegel said. “It is tough to see a Bailey-Bulls scenario playing out in this year’s draft.”</p><p>The Bulls trading up in the NBA Draft sounds great in theory, but it is easier said than done. The door is open for it to happen, but a lot of things would need to fall into place.</p><p>This year’s NBA Draft will take place at the Barclays Center in New York, and it will get underway on June 25th.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-jonathan-kuminga-free-agency-hit-with-harsh-reality">trade rumors surround Kuminga</a>, the latest report from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype has such teams as the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls listed as potential suitors.</p><p>Scotto would point out how, with the 22-year-old set to be a restricted free agent in the offseason, the uncertainty with Golden State is apparent. He mentioned how the question of fit, since the Jimmy Butler trade, the up-and-down relationship with head coach Steve Kerr, and the trade talks could head for a collision course of a “change of scenery.”</p><p>Seeking a bigger role with another team, Scotto reports that Miami and Chicago should be monitored as <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-intel-kevin-durant-trade-talks-desmond-bane-jonathan-kuminga-celtics-hawks-nets/" rel="noopener">“potential sign-and-trade candidates.”</a></p><p>“Kuminga is looking for an expanded and consistent role moving forward, league sources told HoopsHype,” Scotto wrote. “The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are two teams to monitor as potential sign-and-trade candidates for Kuminga, league sources told HoopsHype. With that in mind, the Warriors have also not ruled out the possibility of retaining Kuminga, sources said.”</p><p>ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel reported last month that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/how-warriors-plan-build-around-stephen-curry-jimmy-butler-siegels-scoop">Bulls and Heat have “preliminary interest” in Kuminga.</a></p><p>“The Nets, along with the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, are three teams with preliminary interest in Kuminga ahead of free agency, sources said,” Siegel wrote. “Both Kuminga and the Warriors could come to an understanding on a new, fair contract, but the idea of exploring sign-and-trade opportunities seems like the best path for both parties.”</p><h2><b>Jonathan Kuminga linked with Heat and Bulls</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Jonathan-Kuminga-on-May-12-2025-1.jpg"><figcaption>Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-makes-bold-claim-jonathan-kuminga-bright-future">possible bright future ahead for Kuminga</a>, there are still questions from the basketball world about where the best fit will be. Still, it would matter the best return the Warriors can get, even with Scotto mentioning how the team has expressed interest in Chicago’s Nikola Vucevic in the past, especially since he has “all traits that would appeal,” though Miami has had interest for a long time.</p><p>“Last season, Golden State expressed interest in trading for Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, now entering the final year of his contract worth $21.48 million,” Scotto wrote. “With the Warriors in a win-now mode, Vucevic’s durability, scoring (17.2 points career average), shooting (40.2 3-point percentage last season), and rebounding (10.5 per game for his career) are all traits that would appeal to Golden State.”</p><p>“Chicago’s roster has gotten younger, and Kuminga, who turns 23 in October, would fit their timeline better than Vucevic, who turns 35 in October and wants to win now, ideally,” Scotto continued. “Miami has prioritized pursuits of Giannis Antetokounmpo (if he became available this summer) and Durant (whom they’re actively trying to acquire) on their wish list ahead of Kuminga, who’s viewed as a fallback option to the two superstars.”</p><p>It remains to be seen where Kuminga ends up, but this offseason will be vital to the young player.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Thunder are loaded up with future picks, and OKC insider Berry Tramel thinks that Sam Presti would’ve dealed one away if the Bulls pushed a bit harder.</p><p>“People always say that Chicago probably could have got a first-round draft pick out of Sam Presti for two reasons,” Tramel said. “One, he’s got so many, what’s he going to do with all of them? And number two, everybody in the league knew, and which means Sam Presti knew it more than anybody else, what Alex Caruso would mean to this team’s title chances.</p><p>“He wasn’t going to let that deal go over a future first-round draft pick. Maybe that’s true, I don’t know, but it looks like a good trade for both teams from where I’m sitting, but I will say it’s been a great trade for the Thunder.”</p><p>This trade has still worked out well for the Bulls. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-rival-execs-speculate-coby-white-trade-josh-giddey-re-signs">Giddey ended up having an outstanding season</a>, and he fits in better in Chicago than he did in OKC.</p><p>“Giddey’s unbelievably talented. He’s fun,” Tramel continued. “He does all kinds of stuff, but he was pretty superfluous to the Thunder. Giddey’s best with the ball in his hands. And guess what? The Thunder doesn’t want to take the ball out of SGA’s (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) hands.</p><p>“So Giddey, also not a not a great defender, sort of got in the way of this string of great defenders that they like to trot out there. Chicago needed a ball handler or an instigator, quarterback, a point guard.”</p><p>Giddey fits in well with the Bulls, and Caruso fits in well with the Thunder. His style doesn’t work for the entire season, but that works out on a team that is loaded like OKC.</p><p>“To me, it seemed like a really good trade for both teams,” Tramel said. “It turned out to be a good trade for both teams. From where I’m sitting, a guy like Caruso is more valuable on a great team or a contending team.</p><p>“I think he talked last night about how he sort of plays a maniacal form of basketball, which is true, and it’s the kind of place where he doesn’t do that in a regular season because you can’t play like that 82 games a year.”</p><p>Now that the Thunder are in the playoffs, they are seeing just how important Caruso is for this team. He is giving them something that Giddey couldn’t.</p><p>“The Thunder are glad to have him sit out every third game. If he gets injured, they don’t rush him back, knock yourself out,” Tramel added. “Rest up, Caruso, we’re going to unleash you in the playoffs. And that’s what they did.</p><p>“And he’s a guy that when you get him into the playoffs, he’s unbelievably invaluable because, like I said, Game 7, they put him on [Nikola] Jokic. He’s guarding the best player often on the other team when it’s not Lou Dort. He’s really good on offense. We saw it, 20 points last night. So it’s a perfect trade.”</p><p>The Bulls probably could’ve gotten more from the Thunder in the Josh Giddey-Alex Caruso trade, but they can’t dwell on it now. It’s over, and Caruso is now three wins away from his second ring.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, Reinsdorf might be among the most widely disliked owners in all of major North American sports after decades of mediocrity in his teams.</p><p>But there might be light at the end of the tunnel for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-news-mat-ishbia-brother-agrees-jerry-reinsdorf-ownership">the White Sox after Reinsdorf agreed to</a> at least put some kind of timetable out there <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2025/06/08/colorado-rockies-record-mlb-standings/84098106007/" rel="noopener">for a transition of power of</a> his MLB team.</p><p>“White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, 89, erased all of the speculation that the White Sox would be up for sale any time soon, but does have a succession plan in place beginning in 2029, or perhaps even 2034 when he will turn 98 years old,” USA Today’s Bob Nightengale wrote.</p><p>“Reinsdorf, who has been hounded by minority owner Justin Ishbia for years to sell controlling interest of the club, finally agreed to potentially sell it to him beginning in 2029, but not a single day earlier. If Reinsdorf or his family still own[s] the team in 2034, Ishbia has the right to purchase the club without Reinsdorf’s approval. In exchange, Ishbia is contributing capital this year and in 2026. The plan was put in place months ago, as The Athletic’s Jon Greenberg reported, but was not announced until the final day of the owners’ meetings on Thursday.”</p><p>But what about the Bulls? Well, according to Nightengale, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-fans-slapped-with-harsh-jerry-reinsdorf-reality-amid-white-sox-sale-rumors">NBA franchise will “remain in the family</a> where his son, Michael, is president and COO.”</p><p>The Reinsdorf family may ultimately sell the Bulls at some point, especially with NBA franchise values continuing to increase — the Bulls are valued at $5.8 million, according to CNBC — but there is not a publicly known plan for the team if a post-Reinsdorf era were to happen.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bulls finished another disappointing season back in April, which didn’t leave the door open for a top draft pick. So, the team will likely try to revamp its roster with trades this offseason. Nikola Vucevic, Coby White and Lonzo Ball are all key players from last year’s team that <a href="https://x.com/670TheScore/status/1930321035737391604" rel="noopener">could be involved</a>.</p><p>Because of his contract, Lonzo Ball is a popular trade candidate for the Bulls. He has been at the forefront of trade rumors in the past, but he reached a deal with the team ahead of the trade deadline back in February. It was a two-year, $20 million deal, but only the first year is guaranteed.</p><p>“As soon as he signed that contract, he was up for trade, because that contract is so trade-friendly,” Bulls insider Joe Cowley said on Wednesday. “It’s basically a one year, $10 million deal. The team has the option for the next 10 million for year number two.”</p><p>Ball isn’t the only trade candidate as everyone expects Nikola Vucevic to be traded this offseason. Because of the Bulls’ desire to remain competitive (which has resulted in three straight play-in tournament exits), they are stuck in an awkward middleground that has shown no signs of ending.</p><p>“It’s not only Lonzo up for trade, Vooch (Nikola Vucevic) is up for trade,” Cowley continued. “I mean, the Bulls are trying to change this roster over, and again, talk about walking a fine line and a tight rope, they’re trying to do so while still trying to be competitive for some ungodly reason. That’s the path that they continue to choose. So enjoy late lottery picks every year.”</p><p>Lonzo Ball and Nikola Vucevic are two key players that might get traded this offseason, but Josh Giddey is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-rival-execs-speculate-coby-white-trade-josh-giddey-re-signs">someone that the Bulls are liklely going to re-sign</a>.</p><p>“I think we all wrote when Lonzo signed that deal on the, I believe, was the night of the trade deadline in Minnesota, we all wrote that, basically, this deal was signed to be a trade candidate,” Cowley said. “I mean, Lonzo spun it as he wanted to stay here. He wanted to stay close to Dr. Cole. But look, everything is on the table for the Bulls this off season. Vooch, Lonzo, a package of those two, whatever they can do to try and add to this mix that they’re trying to build on the run, as well as resigning Josh Giddey, that’s going to be coming shortly too.”</p><p>As you can see, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-nba-draft-focus-chicago-eyes-pacers-model">Bulls have big decisions to make</a> surrounding a lot of their top players. This is another crucial offseason for the team, and it has to be a good one as the fan base grew tired of the on-court product a long time ago.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s unclear what this roster is going to look like at the beginning of next season, and looming <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-josh-giddey-coby-white-long-term-futures-update-after-play-in-loss-heat">decisions surrounding Josh Giddey and Coby White</a> are a big reason why. Giddey and White were two of the most important players on this team last season, but it is sounding unlikely that both will be back in the Windy City next year.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-josh-giddey-150-million-clarification">Josh Giddey’s late-season surge has really made things interesting</a> for the Bulls this offseason. Giddey was always one of the better players on the team, but he was a different beast after the All-Star Break. He wasn’t just one of the best players on the team, but he was one of the best players in the league. Giddey even won Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March.</p><p>After Giddey’s impressive close to the season, he is looking for a big contract this offseason, and a lot of people <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-rumors-insider-120-million-josh-giddey-projection">expect the Bulls to pay him</a>. The thing is, that could result in the team losing Coby White. Some <a href="https://hardwoodparoxysm.substack.com/p/free-agency-and-draft-rumors-panic?utm_campaign=email-half-post&amp;r=39f60&amp;utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">rumors are saying</a> that the team isn’t going to get both players back.</p><p>“This is outside speculative, but two different East personnel figures believe that the Bulls are unlikely to retain both Josh Giddey and Coby White,” Matt Moore said in a report. “If Giddey gets locked in, White could be moved. I’m skeptical of that idea because that sounds like a radical concept for the Bulls and that doesn’t sound like them. Saving money sounds like them, but not like this.”</p><p>We’ll see how much truth there is to that rumor as that is just the thought of a couple different people around the league, so it obviously doesn’t guarantee anything. Still, there has been a lot of talk about the Bulls potentially trading White this offseason. If Giddey gets a big pay raise for the team, it might end up being the best option.</p><p>Coby White has been one of the best players for the Bulls during the past couple of seasons, and he certainly elevated his worth in the process. If the Bulls do lock down Josh Giddey and decide to trade White, he would be an attractive option for a lot of teams across the league.</p><p>The Coby White/Josh Giddey decisions will be a huge part of this offseason for the Bulls, but they have a lot of other big things on their plate as well. It will be interesting to see what this roster is looking like when next season rolls around.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This is another big draft <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-4-best-trade-scenarios-using-no-12-pick-in-2025-nba-draft">for the Chicago Bulls, who are in possesion of the 12th</a> overall pick. There are going to be a lot of good players still available, but the focus for the Bulls is making sure that they have someone that fits into what they are trying to do.</p><p>There is a chance that the Maryland’s Derik Queen is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/chicago-bulls-3-best-options-12-pick-2025-nba-draft">available for the Bulls</a>, and he has a ton of potential. However, does he fit into this Indiana Pacers style that the Bulls are looking to emulate?</p><p>“Let’s project and speculate, if Derik Queen falls to 12, would he be a fit with the Bulls? He’s obviously a very skilled player,” Bulls insider K.C. Johnson said on Tuesday. “They do need some front court help. I will tell you this. One thing I’ve heard consistently about the Bulls is they are very focused on stylistically, how whoever they pick in the first round will fit with their new philosophy. They obviously are trying to emulate the Indiana Pacers.”</p><p>Queen would be an attractive option for the Bulls if he is available, but fit is definitely the <a href="https://x.com/CHSN_Bulls/status/1927477867169939649" rel="noopener">most important</a> thing.</p><p>“Get deep, play fast. Have two-way players, depth at the wing, depth in the front court,” K.C. Johnson continued. “Would Derik Queen fit into that? There are some question marks, and again, mothing is definitive here, and we’re obviously even speculating that Derek Queen could fall to 12. There is some, you know, different discussions on that. But one thing to keep in mind is that fit with the Bulls new offensive style will be crucial to this draft pick.”</p><p>Fit is the most important thing for the Bulls, but at the same time, they <a href="https://x.com/CHSN_Bulls/status/1927774557261177217" rel="noopener">aren’t ruling out</a> any positions. Everything is on the table for Chicago.</p><p>“The guard picture does thin out after the 2025-26 season, and that is when the Bulls project to have ample salary cap space,” Johnson added. “So you can see the Bulls maybe selecting a guard in this draft and fitting him in with their young core. The overall takeaway here is that the Bulls are not hung up on position. They will draft the best talent available, and when you’re picking 12, you don’t know what that’s going to be, but there’s a lot of potential excitement and potential possibilities there.”</p><p>If the Bulls <a href="https://x.com/CHSN_Bulls/status/1927747037417676815" rel="noopener">did end up with</a> Queen, that could create a ripple effect with Nikola Vucevic. A lot of people think that he will be traded this offseason, but those two players might gel well together.</p><p>“Vooch (Nikola Vucevic) had his best year of his three years as a Bull last year,” Johnson said. “So you can say Vooch isn’t athletic or is a plotter or whatever. I disagree. I think he’s a very quick decision maker. He’s a great trail guy, and obviously a way better shooter than Queen. So you have that pick and pop option and trail options. So again, we don’t know the answer to this. We’re just raising the questions right now, but it’s a good question to ask, like, If Queen is there a 12 are the philosophical fit concerns, do they outweigh just making the pick of clearly a skilled player.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-draft-news-derik-queen-speaks-out-nikola-jokic-comparisons">Derik Queen has the traits necessary to excel in the NBA</a>, but the Bulls will need to decide if his skillset is what the team is looking for.</p><p>“And we don’t want to make this turn into like, a Queen bashing or a hater. He’s a great player. He’s gonna have a good NBA career,” Johnson stated. “It’s just, you know, where does he fit? And that’s a question I know the Bulls are asking, as well as other teams, particularly with, as I mentioned, how he tested athletically at the combine.”</p><p>There is a solid chance that Derik Queen isn’t even available when it’s time for the Bulls to make their pick. If he is, it’s going to be interesting to see if Chicago pulls the trigger.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
