According to a league source, Detroit did pursue Dosunmu, but the asking price was just too high. The Minnesota Timberwolves traded Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks in exchange for Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. The Bulls wanted young talent and picks, which the Pistons weren’t willing to offload for Dosunmu, who is now entering free agency.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst says the Minnesota Timberwolves have “moved on” from their pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo. This comes after the Timberwolves dealt Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks to the Chicago Bulls to acquire Ayo Dosunmu on Thursday morning. But Windhorst believes the Heat are still in the mix for Antetokounmpo. “The Miami Heat are still out there,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s First Take. “And the Heat, the last I heard, were still trying to make moves to improve their offer that they can make to Milwaukee. ... That said, the Heat can make a better offer, a more aggressive pick-rich offer later this summer. So teams in the league right now that it is most likely that Giannis stays put. But Miami is still there. And I want to point out that I will never put anything past Andy Elisburg, their GM, and the aggression of Pat Riley. So, keep an eye with Miami.”
