Bulls Trade Lonzo Ball, Weigh Further Roster Moves

The Chicago Bulls have traded Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Isaac Okoro and re-signed Tre Jones as part of their effort to get younger and maintain salary flexibility. Attempts to trade veteran center Nikola Vucevic have stalled due to low market interest, with a midseason buyout now seen as more likely. The Golden State Warriors, previously linked to Vucevic, are reportedly no longer pursuing him. The Bulls have made Coby White off-limits in any deal for the Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga, while Ayo Dosunmu and Jalen Smith are being considered as trade assets, with Dosunmu drawing particular interest. Meanwhile, Golden State is interested in re-signing free agent De’Anthony Melton to strengthen their perimeter defense. With training camp approaching, significant moves by the Bulls remain uncertain.
