Chicago Bulls Could Land $158 Million Star in Bold Trade Involving Lonzo Ball

The Chicago Bulls could land the $158 million star in a bold proposed trade involving Lonzo Ball and Nikola Vucevic.
As the Chicago Bulls stare at a monumental rebuild, a lot has been made about the futures of their two former All-Stars, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. It is not hard to understand why.
If a Bulls rebuild is to be successful anytime soon, they will need to part ways with players like LaVine and Vucevic. They have already said their goodbyes to DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso.
Unfortunately, there are more players whose futures with the Bulls are uncertain. One of them has to be Lonzo Ball.
Ball had shown immense potential early on in his time with Chicago but soon, injury problems struck and derailed everything that the Bulls had been working towards.
Ball has not played for more than two seasons now and has undergone multiple surgeries during his time out. While there are hopes that he could return next season, there is no guarantee.
In an article on Atlanta Hawks on SI by Jackson Caudell and Rohan Raman, a three-team trade has been proposed. It would see the Bulls receive Brandon Ingram, Kobe Bufkin, Cody Zeller, and Garrison Matthews. The Hawks would get Ayo Dosunmu and Jordan Hawkins. And the New Orleans Pelicans receive Ball, Vucevic and a 2028 2nd round pick (via Chicago).
