The Pelicans are very unlikely to match a significant offer sheet on Lonzo Ball this offseason. The Bulls and Clippers are expected to be among teams interested in Lonzo Ball. This news came from Shams Charania who is one of the most trustworthy NBA reporters. This is great news for the Bulls and their fanbase who have been wanting Lonzo Ball for months. I hope we can land him.

Lonzo Ball is coming off his best season in the NBA where he averaged 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game with a field goal percentage of 41.4% 3-point field goal percentage of 37.8%, a free throw percentage of 78.1% and a defensive rating of 112.7 in the 2020-21 season. Lonzo Ball on the Bulls would be a perfect fit for the team and next to Zach Lavine. In my opinion, the Bulls’ biggest need is a playmaker and a defensive player.
Lonzo Ball fulfills both of those needs which is why I think he is a great fit on the Bulls. Lonzo isn’t a star, but he does things that every contending team wants. In my opinion, adding Lonzo Ball on the Bulls without a doubt makes them a playoff team. Can you imagine how good a Zach Lavine and Lonzo Ball backcourt could be?
Lonzo Ball is a restricted free agent, so for the Bulls to get him I think they will have to offer him a contract over 20 million dollars, hope he accepts it and the Pelicans don’t match it. It’s going to be a crazy offseason for the Bulls and their fans. Everyone knows the Bulls are looking for a Point Guard but who will that Point Guard be? If it’s Lonzo Ball he will be a great asset, completing a part of the Bulls’ needs!
