BULLS READY TO MAKE MOVES? AK Under Pressure + Ayo Trade Buzz + Nets Preview

The Chicago Bulls trade deadline buzz is getting LOUD 🔊 — and for the first time in years, the league truly believes Artūras Karnišovas is ready to make moves.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central with Haize, we break down why executives around the NBA say AK has been more realistic, more transparent, and under real pressure to change course before Feb. 5. Are we finally getting a tweak — or a full rebuild shift? 🤔

We dive into:

• What the Bulls’ assets actually are (7 expiring contracts + a $17M trade exception)
• Why Tre Jones and Jalen Smith might be MORE valuable than expirings
• Who Chicago could realistically BUY: Sabonis? Kuminga? Claxton?
• Why Ja Morant & Anthony Davis don’t feel like Bulls fits

Then we get into the Ayo Dosunmu trade buzz 🚨 — three potential destinations if Chicago sells:

• Detroit Pistons (needs tough, versatile guards)
• Orlando Magic (connector piece over Tyus Jones)
• Houston Rockets (desperate for better guard play)

Plus — we preview a dangerous Nets matchup that the Bulls have ALREADY lost once. Brooklyn is bad… but this is exactly the type of trap game Chicago keeps falling into.

Can the Bulls stay focused — or will the deadline noise get louder? Let’s talk about it.
