NBA side Chicago Bulls are getting point guard Lonzo Ball from New Orleans Pelicans. According to reports by ESPN, Ball has
agreed to a four-year, $85 million offer sheet with the Bulls

The Pelicans are getting Tomas Satoransky and
point guard Garrett Temple, as well as a future second-round pick in the trade
deal.

Lonzo Ball to the Bulls was being rumored for
days and will be a good playmaker partner next to Olympian Zach LaVine. Ball is
at his best in transition — Billy Donovan has to get this team out and running,
up from its middle-of-the-pack pace last season — and brings elite passing plus
fantastic on-ball defense. Ball averaged 14.6 points and 5.7 assists a game
last season.

Ball will most probably be a secondary
playmaker to LaVine.

In the season that just ended, the Bulls could
not make it to the playoffs after the team finished third in the Eastern
Conference centeal division. The team that once boasted of legends like Michael
Jordan, who created a dynasty in Chicago, ended the season with the record of
thirty one wins in games. The team lost forty one games last season.

Jordan and Derrick Rose have both won the NBA
Most Valuable Player Award while playing for the Bulls, for a total of six MVP
awards and the team will hope that Ball’s signing will be as effective as when
Jordan arrived in the city all those years ago. Getting out and running, that
is his specialty, and the Bulls need to go with that.
