The NBA commerce season is in full swing, and the Bulls have puzzled followers as soon as once more by buying and selling Lonzo Ball to Cleveland for Isaac Okoro, with no draft capital in return, simply as occurred with the Alex Caruso deal final 12 months.
Take a look at the reactions after the commerce:
Lonzo Ball’s contract was termed “Tradeable” on the evening its information broke. At 24, Isaac Okoro matches the “younger gamers with expertise” mode this entrance workplace has touted. His $11.8M wage in 26-27 cuts into a few of Bulls’ projected cap house in 26.

Btw, the bulls had been provided a primary spherical decide for Lonzo on the deadline. All they needed to do was tackle Marcus Good.

The Bulls not too long ago traded two guards whereas netting zero draft picks in these offers:
2024: Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey
2025: Lonzo Ball for Isaac OkoroNo first-round decide for Caruso. Not even a future second-round decide for Ball.

The Bulls are hilarious. Might’ve obtained a primary spherical decide for Lonzo Ball on the commerce deadline. As an alternative they find yourself with a rotation man who was terrible within the playoffs https://t.co/OKxTKo41Yu

Cavaliers buying Lonzo Ball might be an indicator that they gained’t have the ability to retain Ty Jerome.
Re-signing him to essentially the most they may give him along with his Early Chook rights would’ve price extra $90 in payroll and tax.

DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, and now Lonzo Ball have all been traded—and the Bulls didn’t get a single draft decide in return.
What an absolute joke of a franchise.

Horrible. Arturas is so dangerous at this. Hope Lonzo will get to win a title in Cleveland like Caruso did in OKC. https://t.co/zs4oGTQZaI
