Although the Bulls have received trade interest in Lonzo Ball, they’re not eager to move the veteran point guard and wouldn’t be looking to buy him out of his expiring contract if he remains in Chicago beyond Thursday’s deadline,

A familiar face will be back in Pauley Pavilion with UCLA men’s basketball on Tuesday night. Former Bruin Lonzo Ball will serve as the team’s honorary captain for the game against Rutgers. Ball played the 2016-17 season with UCLA

The Chicago Bulls have made a trade. To be more accurate, they took part in a trade, according to reports.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are discussing avenues to trade away their point guard Ball ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA deadline, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported on Friday. Siegel notes that the Cavaliers would like expiring contracts in order to move out of the second apron of the luxury tax.

However, while he has managed to avoid the injury scare so far in the season, Lonzo's impact has been next to abysmal, as he clearly looks like a shadow of his former self. For Jeff Teague, he has seen enough struggle from the 28-year-old guard and boldly proclaimed that it is in Ball's best interest to call an end to his playing days.
