LONZO BALL FOR ISAAC OKORO
The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired guard Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls for forward/guard Isaac Okoro.
What does it give the Cleveland Cavaliers
Ball goes from a non-playoff roster to a true contender in Cleveland, so he is likely to come off the bench with the Cavaliers. His injury history is ridiculous, but he is a great playmaker when healthy.
What does it give the Chicago Bulls
Okoro is a role player who moves from the top regular-season team in the Eastern Conference in 2024-25 to a playoff also-ran. Therefore, he might be able to carve out more minutes with Chicago.
Fantasy impact
Both Ball and Okoro could be moving to better situations after this trade. That said, neither player is a recommendable fantasy option for 2025-26. Ball is just too much of an injury concern, while Okoro may or may not receive quality minutes.
