Send Kleber + 1 second round? American News: The Lakers intend to strengthen the depth of the backcourt and intend to introduce Bulls Ball

7:51pm, 10 June 2025Basketball

On June 10, according to US media reporter Jovan Buha, Bulls defender Lonzo Ball has now successfully aroused the interest of the Lakers management, who plans to strengthen the team's backcourt depth this summer. The 27-year-old Ball is a relatively good choice for them.

It is understood that Ball renewed his contract with the Bulls for two years at the beginning of this year, with a total salary of $20 million in the new contract. In terms of chips, I think with Ball's current trading value, the Lakers give Kleber to match the salary, plus a second round pick is enough.

If the Bulls ask for a first-round pick, there is no need for the Lakers to talk about it, because Ball has only played 70 regular season games in the past four seasons. Such a poor attendance rate is not worth the Lakers to give out the first-round pick.

data shows that Ball has averaged 11.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the regular season, shooting percentage of 39.8% and three-point shooting percentage of 36.2%.
