Bulls give qualifying offers to Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Terry Taylor

The Chicago Bulls have a long summer of roster decisions ahead of them as they attempt to cobble together a playoff-caliber roster around Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic. Arturas Karnisovas says the team has no intention of rebuilding, and, if that’s the case, they need to make some serious additions.

But before they attack free agency and the trade market, the Bulls need to bring back their own free agents. Vucevic is the biggest name, but Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu also need new contracts, which the Bulls are in the process of working on, based on a recent report.

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, the Bulls have given qualifying offers to White, Dosunmu and Terry Taylor, who was on a two-way contract with Chicago this past season.

“The Chicago Bulls have tendered qualifying offers to Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White, and a two-way qualifying offer to Terry Taylor, a league source tells @spotrac,” Smith tweeted.

Karnisovas revealed during his post-NBA draft press conference that Chicago planned on giving White and Dousnmu qualifying offers. Both youngsters will help shape a relatively underwhelming Chicago point guard room. If they can develop quickly, they could earn huge roles next season.

Meanwhile, Terry’s offer comes as a bit of a surprise, but the hard-nosed forward could actually have a role for the Bulls.

He only played in five games for the Bulls this past season, but his above-average rebounding and large frame make him a force down low, despite being just 6-foot-5. With how thin the Bulls are at the forward spot, the 23-year-old would be a nice piece to have on the roster.
