Lonzo Ball Lands In Windy City

The Chicago Bulls made a big splash at the NBA trade deadline acquiring Nikola Vucevic from the Orlando Magic. They made their presence known, as they will be going for it this season with Vucevic joining All-Star Zach LaVine.

With their two cornerstones in place, the team needs to begin upgrading the roster around them. Point guard, especially with Coby White’s availability for the beginning of the season in question, is their biggest need. They will fill that need with Lonzo Ball.

The New Orleans Pelicans point guard is a restricted free agent, but there have been a lot of reports that they will not match a big offer sheet, should Ball receive one.

The Bulls will give Ball an offer big enough that the Pelicans will let him walk.

Ball would be a great pairing in the backcourt with LaVine, providing a defensive presence to a team with two offensive-minded cornerstones. His playmaking would help take the offense to another level, as LaVine was tasked with being the go-to scorer and playmaking at times last season.
