Bulls Eye Playoff Moves | 4-Team Trade Deadline Idea + Ayo Dosunmu’s Trade Value
Locked On Bulls
Hosted by Haize & Pat The Designer
The Chicago Bulls appear to be positioning themselves for a serious playoff push — but how aggressive will the front office actually be at the trade deadline? In today’s episode, Haize and Pat break down whether the Bulls are truly aiming to make win-now playoff moves, and what type of additions would realistically elevate this roster. 🐂🔥
Then the guys present a bold 4-team trade deadline concept, walking through how a multi-team deal could reshape Chicago’s rotation, balance the roster, and potentially maximize value on both ends of the floor. What would it cost? Who says no? And does it fit the Bulls’ timeline? 💼📊
Finally, the spotlight turns to Ayo Dosunmu’s trade value. With his improved scoring and defensive versatility, is Ayo becoming one of the Bulls’ most intriguing assets at the deadline? Haize and Pat discuss whether Chicago should hold tight or leverage his value in a bigger move. 👀🏀
Playoff ambitions. Trade creativity. Asset evaluation.

Why aren’t we making moves to get better chances to draft Darius Acuff? That should be the bulls priority. Giddey and yves missi doesn’t get it done.
35 million dollars allocated to Patrick Williams, Isaac okoro, and Javon Carter is a fireable offense.
For sure Matas is 3 if u are doing this trade you are moving Okoro and Indiana foward for 2 and u will still need a 4
Obs: J Smith are doing well at 4
I'm with Pat. The fundamental question they have to ask themselves is what gets us closer to a championship? I think they are just happy making the playoffs, but we are not a serious contender….and if you aren't a serious contender then what are we even doing?
Very good breakdown from you guys this episode appreciate it
SOMEBODY TELL PAT ITS CALL A TEAM AND YOU HAVE TO BUILD A TEAM. ONE PERSON CAN'T DO IT AND IT'S NOT NO GOOD STARS OUT THERE.
Man work on developing matas, like shit. You got a gift by him being gifted to you. You're a plau-in team. That's nothing to jerk off over. We went down this route getting Vuc, then Ball, then Dero to go with Lavine and go you nothing.
Let's not repeat that okay
This makes no sense. This team isn’t close to playoff contender status.
The bulls can make a move to get 1 or two superstars to build around for the next 4-5 years. Then they can sell the team and make way for a real investment group like the lakers and Celtics
We need a freaking star, the Lakers game should have underlined that. I wouldn’t interested in anything that wasn’t desirable assets that we could use to trade for a high draft pick that will possible turn into a star. Jordan, Rose, Coby, Matas, all draft picks. Haze is pushing for more mediocrity and I’m sick of it
One thing to keep in mind… Even if everything goes "right", and we make all the "right" moves, we STILL may not be a consistently competitive in the playoffs for a few years or ever. We are so young, it takes time, period.
I'd rather see moves with the coaching staff, front office, or culture, than changes to the roster.
I'd like us to prepare and be ready to pounce on a superstar WHEN IT'S THERE. Until then, it's a holding pattern, maintain cap flexibility, let this young team develop, and get the right guy to put us in a different tier of teams.
It not going to work you are not going to get super star until firing billy Donovan
It not going work until firing billy Donovan
The Chicago bulls 11th pick last year nba draft was a okay player
Billy Donovan is a clown 🤡
with Health and coaching this is a top 4 team in the east
Love your work legends ❤️🦋🤙🏽🇦🇺🦘🤟🏽
Poison pill will has to be the worst contract since e rob.
I can see what Haize & Pat saying but we don’t have any reason to sit our best future piece, there’s no point to try and punish Matas when there’s no one else to play any better off the bench other than Ayo & Tre Jones
That 4 team trade look decent, love Ben Math too got more dawg than most on our roster
America has this obsession with letting old men run an office. I’m sick of these old trash men who sit in office all day running things their way with no clue on how things work. Stuck somewhere in time with no intentions of current events. Last time bulls made the second round playoffs was 2015 man are you kidding me? 11 f’n years ago and we here saying and doing the same thing every season. Anytime Pat talks you can tell he just wants to say “man no matter what they do they’ll still be trash” he be speaking facts, haze do too but haze is the majority of us who hate to admit that this shyt never going anywhere. I just wish the fans would push back like Dallas did to their GM Nico.
I Ben but I cant see having him and Coby fighting position nor would I give up any 1st rd pick with this spreadsheet
Trade Coby White….!!! He doesn’t fit on this team!!!!
BD is absolutely the worst coach for any team trying to win. If he can't beat teams trying to tank, he shouldn't even be coaching in the NBA
We've had Billy Donovan as coach for 6 years and only one playoff appearance with frequent play-in losses. Time to fire this bum if we actually want to reach the playoffs.
Would someone tell Patrick Williams to stop heaving up halfcourt 3s the minute he steps into the game WTH..Get into the rhythm get some confidence make a couple close baskets first. He launched a far one then another one and went 0-2 for the game thsts a confidence killer and makes you look like a dupe
