ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski added more fuel to the Ball-to-Bulls fire in a conversation with Zach Lowe on The Lowe Post Podcast earlier today. While he didn’t necessarily add any new groundbreaking information, he did reaffirm the Bulls’ expected interest this summer, as well as mention another team who will likely have their eyes on Ball.


The Bulls, there is a lot of interest there. That deal could have happened at the trade deadline. I think Lauri Markkanen if Chicago is willing to maybe do more with [the] draft, throwing a pick in the deal might have happened then, but they did the deal with Orlando. They had sent picks off in that, and they knew they had cap space, and they knew they had the summer. But there will be teams. Let’s see, we got Chicago and we got New York, and we got restricted free agents in Lonzo Ball and we got an unrestricted free agent in Dennis Schroder potentially with the Lakers. And Spencer Dinwiddie … But I think Ball in Chicago will be an interesting one to watch.

:myman: I think either lonzo or Schroeder gonna be the bulls starting pg next season(if they don’t jump in the lottery)

I think Dinwiddie an option too but not my 1st choice

the biggest obstacle on getting Ball will be the Pels matching, not other teams IMO

Lauri would actually be a decent piece to put around Zion, but I dont know what else we can offer to get the sign/trade done

Honestly I think the biggest issue is going to be price tag... There's a potential situation with him where a team that has more money than us like the Knicks are simply willing to drop more down for a deal than were willing/readily capable of matching .. Ive been thinking about Pat Bev as a cheaper alternative lately ... I think with rondo there they may be willing to let bro go for some slight compensation

it’s New York Knicks , pelicans were willing to trade him a few months ago

ingram max,Adams extension & Zion eligible for an extension summer ‘22 they gotta be careful with their dough

knicks may be more attractive,bulls a better fit imo

it really sounded like Rich wanted him in Chicago, but he does have a close connection to Julius Randle

I'd think the Knicks & Leon Rose would have their eyes set on a 'bigger' move down the road though and signing Zo could hamper that

I feel like the Pels are cornered a bit due to how well Zo playd to close the season

Knicks gonna go after Lowry,cp3 if he opts out or Lillard after Portland gets bounced in the 1st round

then lonzo , bulls only disadvantage is ny got more dough to spend the bulls still a better fit.

:patrice: I don’t know wouldn’t be against it but man I don’t know Lowry 35 & injury prone

edit & after Miami gets bounced in the 1st round & Philly don’t win the East I think he’ll be their #1 target
