"The latest smoke: Stefan Bondy of The New York Post listed Dosunmu as "a name to watch" for the New York Knicks ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline - but cautions that Chicago may have a steep asking price for the sixth man. Bondy isn't the only Knicks beat reporter floating the possibility of Dosunmu for New York at the deadline. The Athletic's James L. Edwards III also makes the connection,"
"Dosunmu seems likely to at least double his current salary this summer, should he hit free agency. Although the Bulls are allegedly contemplating an extension deal for the 26-year-old, it might behoove him to keep his options open even if Chicago does retain him through the trade deadline. He's far too talented to idle away the rest of his prime on a team that seems to be content on making the play-in but missing the playoffs every year."
"Through 43 healthy bouts this season, Dosunmu has been averaging 15.1 points while slashing .518/.454/.850, plus 3.6 dimes, 2.9 boards, and 0.7 steals a night. He's one of the Bulls' best two-way players, a capable defender who has fleshed out his shooting efficiency this season as Billy Donovan's favorite reserve."
Ayo Dosunmu has produced a strong season for the Chicago Bulls, averaging 15.1 points and efficient .518/.454/.850 shooting across 43 healthy games while contributing 3.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds. His two-way play and improved shooting have made him a key reserve under coach Billy Donovan. Trade interest from teams like the New York Knicks has emerged ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, with potential inclusion of other guards to incentivize Chicago. Dosunmu is on an expiring $7.5 million deal and projects to at least double his salary in free agency, while Chicago weighs extension options.
