CHICAGO BULLS MAKE LATE-NIGHT TRADE, ACQUIRE YABUSELE FOR TERRY
🚨BULLS’ LATEST MOVE: YABUSELE FOR TERRY: In a late-night trade, the Chicago Bulls have made another move to reshape their roster. After making several guard-oriented trades earlier in the week, the Bulls have reportedly traded Dalen Terry to the New York Knicks in exchange for Guerschon Yabusele, as confirmed by the team on Thursday.
This marks the latest adjustment for a Bulls team that has been active in recent days, looking to improve their depth and roster balance. Terry, a former 18th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, heads to New York after a limited role in Chicago, while Yabusele, a seasoned big man, brings added experience to the Bulls’ frontcourt.
What the Trade Means for Both Teams

Dalen Terry has been with the Bulls since being selected in the 2022 draft but has had a somewhat limited impact. Over 204 career games with Chicago, Terry averaged 3.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, starting only seven of those contests. Despite showing flashes of potential, his role has been confined largely to a backup position, and he has not been able to secure a consistent starting role. This move allows Terry a fresh start with the Knicks, where he will look to earn more playing time and develop further under the guidance of New York’s coaching staff.
In return, the Bulls acquired Guerschon Yabusele, a player with more experience and an established presence in the NBA. Yabusele, who has played in 185 career NBA games across three teams, brings valuable experience to the Bulls. His best season came in 2024-2025 with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he averaged 11 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, starting 43 games. His ability to contribute as both a scorer and rebounder will bolster Chicago’s frontcourt, an area where they have been looking for more depth.
The trade also provides the Bulls with a veteran presence that could be crucial in the team’s push toward making the playoffs, while giving Yabusele an opportunity to play a more prominent role than he may have had in New York.
A Busy Week for the Bulls: Several Moves and Questions Remain
This trade is the second significant transaction for the Bulls in just a few days. Earlier in the week, Chicago made waves with their deal for Jaden Ivey, the talented 23-year-old guard who was drafted fifth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Purdue. Ivey was acquired in exchange for two players, adding more talent to the Bulls’ backcourt.
The Bulls were also active on Tuesday with another trade, sending Nikola Vucevic to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Anfernee Simons. This trade also included an exchange of second-round picks, adding more draft flexibility to Chicago’s assets.
On Wednesday, the Bulls made yet another move, trading Coby White and Mike Conley to acquire Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng, and three second-round picks. These deals further signify the Bulls’ commitment to reshaping their roster and preparing for future success.
With all these changes, it’s clear the Bulls are actively pursuing ways to improve their roster balance. But one major question still looms large: What will happen with Ayo Dosunmu?
Will Ayo Dosunmu Be Traded?
Trade talks surrounding Ayo Dosunmu have heated up over the past 24 hours. The Bulls have reportedly been in discussions regarding Dosunmu’s future, and with the NBA trade deadline fast approaching at 3 p.m., the team may be looking to make one final move.
Dosunmu, who has been a steady contributor for the Bulls, could bring back significant value in a trade, and the team will likely look for a deal that helps them further improve their roster. As the clock ticks down to the deadline, it’s still uncertain whether Dosunmu will remain with the team or be moved to another franchise.

What’s Next for the Bulls?
As the trade deadline approaches, the Bulls have already made several key moves to reshape their roster. The addition of Guerschon Yabusele provides the team with a more experienced big man to complement their backcourt depth. But with Ayo Dosunmu potentially on the move, the Bulls may not be finished yet.
Chicago’s front office will be carefully evaluating their options as they look to position themselves for a playoff push. While the team has made notable additions, the next few hours could be crucial in determining how the Bulls complete their roster for the remainder of the season.
