What about Carter/Terry/Smith?

I left off Ayo in my original proposal because my sense is that the Bulls (or at least Bulls fans) view him as a keeper. I do think he's a bit overrated by some (e.g. Nate Duncan), but that's fine, everyone has their favorites. What I wasn't expecting is the idea that the Bulls are 11 or 12 deep with good rotation players.

The Bulls were a mediocre offense last year despite being a good running team, because (A) they're team shooting is just okay, there aren't a lot of + 3pt shooters on the roster (really just White and LaVine/Huerter) and (B) they don't have many (any?) good go-to options in the half-court. I think Simons helps with both those.

No to Smith as well, he was good when Donovan gave him minutes.

White is a better version of Simons, we don't need the Temu version.
