The Chicago Bulls have not gotten much out of Lonzo Ball since acquiring him in the 2021 offseason, mainly due to significant injuries that sidelined him for two consecutive seasons.

By adding Ball, the Lakers could improve their ranking of 13th in the league for assists per night. It would also open up more off-ball opportunities for sharpshooters like Dalton Knecht or allow Austin Reaves to keep expanding his catch-and-shoot game.
