After weeks of Lonzo Ball being tied to the Chicago Bulls, a move was finalized right when free agency started on Monday afternoon.
Chicago agreed with the Pelicans and Lonzo for a sign-and-trade, inking Ball to a four year for $85 Million.
The Chicago Bulls are sending Tomas Satoransky, Garrett Temple and a second-round pick to New Orleans for Lonzo Ball, who's signing a four-year, $85M contract, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

As social media was blowing up with Bulls fans ecstatic about Lonzo Ball filling their long time void at the point guard position, Ball chimed in himself.
Ball took to social media to give his take on a Bleacher Report graphic showing him in a Bulls jersey next to Zach LaVine.
Appreciate y’all posting “my shit” lol 🐂 https://t.co/uSWcvmrHgm

Shortly after the Bulls signed Lonzo Ball, they stayed active by inking Alex Caruso to a four year contract.
With all the buzz going on in Chicago, second year president of basketball ops Arturas Karnisovas is sending a message that he’s done rebuilding, and he wants his team to start winning.
The Chicago Bulls aren’t a championship-caliber team yet. But with Lonzo Ball running the offense, expect this group to continue to grow next season.
