Social Media Reaction to the Cavaliers who Get Lonzo Ball: ’30 Lonzo Games Better than 82 Isaac Okoro’

Lonzo Ball’s contract was called “tradable” that night. Isaac Okoro fits into the “young player” model touted by the front desk at the age of 24. He earned $11.8 million in 26-27, cutting 26 in some of the Bulls’ estimated cap space.

By the way, the Bulls provided Lonzo with a first-round pick on the deadline. All they have to do is attack Marcus Smart.

The Bulls recently traded two guards in these trades, while also earning zero draft picks:

2024: Alex Caruso by Josh Giddey
2025: Lonzo Ball of Isaac Okoro

Caruso has no first-round draft pick. There is even no future Ball second-round pick.

Chicago’s asset management is confusing. pic.twitter.com/cl9xrsdgjn

The bulls are fun. At the trade deadline, it could have been a first-round pick for Lonzo Ball. Instead, they end up being a rotating guy

Riding the Knight to get Lonzo Ball may indicate that they will not be able to keep Ty Jerome.

Re-signing him as the early bird rights they could give him would cost an additional $90 in salary and taxes.

Demar DeRozan, Zach Lavine, Alex Caruso and now Lonzo Ball are all traded – the Bulls didn’t get a single draft pick.

Definitely a franchise joke.

30 Lonzo is better than 82 Okoro games

Evan Mobley got a pass from Lonzo Ball and now has another leap.

Oops. Arturas is very bad about it. Hopefully Lonzo will win the championship in Cleveland like Caruso at OKC.
