The Bulls and point guard Lonzo Ball have agreed to a four-year, $85MM deal. Ball is a restricted free agent, but the Bulls and Pelicans will work out a sign-and-trade to get him to Chicago.
The Pelicans will receive Tomas Satoransky, Garrett Temple, and a second-round pick from the Bulls.
Ball, 23, had arguably the best season of his career in 2020/21, averaging 14.6 PPG, 5.7 APG, and 4.8 RPG in 55 games (31.8 MPG) and improving his shooting numbers to .414/.378/.781.
