NBA Fans React to Speculation About Lonzo Ball’s Potential Trade from the Chicago Bulls
Following a challenging season marked by injuries, Lonzo Ball just wrapped up his first full NBA season in nearly three years. Averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 36.6% from the field and 34.4% from three-point range in 35 games, Ball’s performance raised questions about his future with the Chicago Bulls.
According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Bulls may consider trading the former UCLA standout this offseason.
Sidery reported: “After signing a two-year, $20 million extension in February, Lonzo Ball is expected to be made available in trade discussions. Ball’s $10 million annual salary, with a team option for the 2026-27 season, makes him an attractive option for contending teams in need of guard depth.”

The news sparked plenty of reactions from NBA fans on social media:
-
@Sportswithseb tweeted, “Crazy to say he should go back to the Lakers?”

@2DaTroofHurtz added, “I don’t know how it happens, but Zo on the Wolves could go crazy. They need a playmaker, and if he can space the floor and defend, it would let Jaden become a secondary defender. I think both offense and defense would improve.”
Ball, who was selected as the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, has previously played for the New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers during his eight-year NBA career. The speculation about his future with the Bulls has added another layer of intrigue as the offseason approaches.
