<p>Also there are rumors about other possible trades to rebuild around <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Trade-Rumors-3-potential-destinations-for-DeMar-DeRozan-20221215-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeMar DeRozan </a>or Zach LaVine,</strong> depending on each player’s situation with coach<strong>Billy Donovan</strong>, who has been head of the coaching staff for two seasons already.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Lonzo Ball reveals hiscurrent injury status</h2>
<p>According to Rob Schaeferreporter of NBCS, he talked toLonzo Ball.<strong>“It’s been a crazy journey, been a crazy therapy,” </strong>Ball said. “<strong>Everything is just trying to get back on the court. Unfortunately, I’m not there yet,</strong> but we’re still working on everything. Day by day, I’m trying to remain positive and keep getting better, even if it’s an inch better every day. Just try not to move backwards.”</p>

<p>Ball made a handful of appearances for <strong>Billy Donovan’s </strong>team and helped the Bulls get the best record in the Eastern Conference. That success was shortl-ived, and it was evident they desperately needed him back on the floor.</p>
<p>That has also been the story this season. Ball’s playmaking, defense, and three-point shooting could most definitely be of great help for the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-Bulls-could-trade-DeMar-DeRozan-to-the-Wizards-20221212-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> slumping Bulls.</strong></a> Unfortunately, <strong>Adrian Wojnarowski reported that he might not play at all this season.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA News: Lonzo Ball Might Not Play At All This Season</h2>
<p><em><strong>“Lonzo Ball hasn’t played point guard for the Bulls since January of last season. It’s been almost 11 months, and there are no guarantees that he plays at all this season,” </strong></em>Woj said. <em>“He’s rehabbing that knee now;he’s still feeling some pain it.”</em></p>
<p><em>“The hope is that, perhaps by the All-Star break in mid-February, they have a sense of whether Lonzo Ball is ready to come back and play for Chicago,”</em> Woj added. <em>“A lot of that may depend on where are the Bulls in the standings. Right now, they’re 11th, they’re out of the playoff picture, <strong>and if they’re lingering around that area, a lot of decisions will be made about whether he plays at all. But really, you can mark the downward spiral of this team at the beginning of that injury last January.</strong>“</em></p>

<p>This is terrible news for a Bulls team that<strong> might be forced to just blow it up and start from scratch again</strong>. Without Lonzo, their roster seems poorly constructed, and even if they manage to straighten the ship, they’rea ways away from being a legit championship contender.</p>

NBA Rumors: Bulls get the worst news about Lonzo Ball

NBA Rumors: Bulls get the worst news about Lonzo Ball - Bolavip US

<p>Not so long ago, the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-zach-lavine-clears-the-air-on-his-beef-with-billy-donovan-20221125-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Bulls</a></strong> were the best team in the <strong>Eastern Conference</strong>, beating contenders left and right and playing some of the best defenses in the league. Then,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lonzo-ball-gets-brutally-honest-on-his-trade-from-the-lakers-20211116-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lonzo Ball</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-the-unexpected-reason-alex-caruso-was-denied-a-request-to-change-his-no-6-chicago-bulls-jersey-20220926-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alex Caruso</a></strong> fell with injuries, and it all went south.</p>
<p>Caruso eventually came back, but Lonzo’s absence took a massive blow in their offensive flow. Even with <strong>Ayo Dosunmu </strong>taking over and<strong> Goran Dragic’s </strong>arrival, they still lack a pass-first kind of guard, a floor general to set the offense up.</p>
<p>Needless to say, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lakers-could-still-get-zach-lavine-but-theres-a-big-catch-20221104-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bulls fans</strong></a> are desperately craving to watch the <strong>former second-overall pick</strong> back on the floor. And, according to team insider <strong>Sam Smith, </strong>his return could happen sooner than later.</p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: Lonzo Ball Could Be Back On Christmas</h2>
<p><em><strong>“Christmas miracle? I’d hold off on that,”</strong></em> Smith wrote on his new Mailbag section. <em>“I’ll say to start I have no idea, and based on previous experience I’d have to say no one who says they have an idea has an idea. Because last January’s surgery came with a two-month return to playing. <strong>So they don’t know. The general word around the Bulls is he might be able to play in January, maybe by the All-Star break.</strong> That would be wonderful, though personally without any information or “insider” scoops from sources who may or may not know, I’m not counting on him this season.”</em></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2022/11/25/noticia_0028.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Bulls have <strong>struggled with inconsistency </strong>all season. They’ve looked great against contenders, yet they can’t seem to keep that same intensity when they’re matched up against lesser teams.</p>
<p>Also, some of the young players they gave up in win-now trades have blossomed somewhere else while their own youngsters are struggling. So, Ball or no Ball, some believe they’d be better off by <strong>just blowing the roster up and rebuilding.</strong></p>

Even though they are not going through the best of times now, they are <strong>still one of the winningest and most popular franchises on Earth.</strong></p>
<p>If donning the Purple and Gold would be a <strong>dream come true</strong> for most players, let alone to do so while sharing the floor with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/michael-jordan-or-lebron-james-tiger-woods-classy-answer-to-who-is-the-best-in-nba-history-20220906-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a>.

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lonzo-ball-gets-brutally-honest-on-his-trade-from-the-lakers-20211116-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lonzo Ball</strong></a> is one of them, and he knows how fortunate he is. Drafted 2nd overall in 2017, Ball spent one season with James before being traded out of Los Angeles. Still, he is <strong>grateful</strong> for spending that year alongside his idol.</p>
<h2>Lonzo Ball nostalgic about Lakers’ season with LeBron James</h2>
<p><em>“Just playing for the home team,”</em> Ball told Jill Painter Lopez of CBS Los Angeles when asked about his favorite memory in LA. <em><strong>“You know, being a Lakers fan growing up, watching all the greats, and then being able to put that jersey on was great</strong>.</em></p>

<p>Even though the Lakers didn’t get to see the best of Ball until he left Los Angeles, fans have a lot of affection for him. His recent comments will only increase the love between them. He looks just fine in <strong>Chicago</strong>, but who knows, <strong>maybe one day their paths will cross again</strong>.<span></span></p>

NBA Summer League MVP: Complete list of all Most Valuable Players by year

NBA Summer League MVP: Complete list of all Most Valuable Players by year - Bolavip US

<p>Not so long ago, people raved about how <strong>Lonzo Ball was going to be the new face of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>.</strong> He was supposed to lead the new era for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> as the second coming of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-best-point-guards-of-all-time-20201227-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Magic Johnson or a Jason Kidd 2.0.</strong></a></p>
<p>While Ball didn’t fulfill those expectations and was eventually traded to the <strong>New Orleans Pelicans</strong>, he eventually turned out to be a very good player. He worked on his poor shooting and continues to develop as a top-tier playmaker and solid defender.</p>
<p>That’s why, looking back on his career and now that he’s playing for <strong>a very good <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chicago-bulls-t101422" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Bulls</a> team</strong>, Ball doesn’t have any hard feelings for being traded away. He knows it was the best thing that could’ve happened to him at that point.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Lonzo Ball Feels The Trade Was A Good Thing For Him</h2>
<p><em><strong>“I think everything happens for a reason. I’m where I’m supposed to be now,”</strong></em> Ball told NBC Sports. <em>“It feels great. Early on the process, AK (Arturas Karnisovas) and Marc (Eversley) did a great job. Obviously, the coaches wanted me here. My teammates, we all have great relationships. <strong>For me, I wanted to come to a place where I felt like I fit, a place that wanted me for me and didn’t want me to change. Chicago is the best place for me.”</strong></em></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-93">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Ball Knows The NBA Is A Business</h2>
<p>Lonzo failed to step up when he played for the Lakers. Inconsistency, injuries, and the spotlight prevented him from reaching his ceiling. That’s why they eventually moved him along with more young players<strong> to land Anthony Davis:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“I know it’s part of the business, but it was the first time I felt like somebody didn’t really want me in a way, I guess,”</strong></em> Ball said. <em><strong>“But it was Anthony Davis, so there was no shame in that. He’s one of the best players to ever play.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>“I just think I’ve been through a lot of stuff. And at the end of the day, basketball is a game and a game that I love. I’m very grateful for the situation I’m in,”</em> the guard added.<em><strong> “I think a lot of the things you can worry about doesn’t really hold a lot of weight in real life. I’m blessed to be able to play the game I love, get paid well and take care of my family. That’s pretty much all that matters to me.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Lonzo is now one of the most respected young guards in the league and continues to get better as the years go by. It worked out for the Lakers as well, as Davis helped them win their 17th title. It’s not so usual to see<strong> a true win-win scenario</strong> around the league.</p>

<p>It’s not a secret to anybody that<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Stephen Curry</a> is a first-ballot Hall of Famer</strong>. He’s done enough merits throughout his career in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> and is now considered the greatest player in <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>history, not to mention the best shooter to ever lace them up.</p>
<p>However, most people tend to forget one thing about Steph: <strong>He wasn’t born like that.</strong> He worked tirelesslyon his craft and put himself on the map, as he was never a highly-touted recruit or even attend a top-notch college program.</p>
<p>That, plus his easy-going, <strong>down-to-earth personality,</strong> are two of the reasons why Curry has been so relatable throughout his journey in the NBA, and a constant name among the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-15-most-popular-nba-jerseys-right-now-20210312-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>best-selling jerseys </strong></a>year after year.</p>

<h2>Lonzo Ball Explains Why Stephen Curry Has Been So Successful</h2>
<p>Also, that’s why his peers respect him so much. Sharpshooting skills aside, his work ethic has made him stand out from the rest of the pack, as<strong> New Orleans Pelicans star Lonzo Ball</strong> recently admitted:</p>
<p><em>“Between him (Curry) and Dame (Lillard), <strong>they’re probably the toughest two guards you have to face in this league</strong>,” </em>Lonzo told ClutchPoints after beating the Warriors.<em><strong>“A lot of credit goes to his conditioning. I don’t think a lot of people talk about it enough. He’s constantly moving.</strong> He can shoot it from anywhere. It’s a tough challenge, but you got to step up to the plate and do what you can.”</em></p>
<p>Curry continues to be in <strong>human-torch mode </strong>as the regular season comes to an end, currently leading the league in total points and points per game despite missing several games with injuries.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Warriors aren’t as strong as they used to be and they’re not likely to compete at the highest level this season but one thing’s for sure: <strong>You never, ever, want to face Stephen Curry in the playoffs.</strong></p>

<p>It’s safe to say that <strong>Lonzo Bal</strong>l has failed to live up to the expectations that surrounded him when he made the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong></a> as a second-overall pick. Then again, he’s trending up and has proven to be an elite defender and playmaker.</p>
<p>That’s why he’s in a bit of an uncomfortable position right now. He’s injury-prone and not much of a scorer so teams will be wary of<strong> overpaying for him</strong>, yet he’s too good not to take a risk on him going forward.</p>
<p>Whatever the case it is, his father <strong>LaVar Ball </strong>just wants to see him get traded away from the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-orleans-pelicans-t100705" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New Orleans Pelicans,</strong></a> as he believes that they’re ‘changing the way he plays the game’ and he just can’t stay there anymore.</p>

<h2>LaVar Ball Says Lonzo Can’t Stay New Orleans, Demands A Trade</h2>
<p><em><strong>“No! No, he can’t stay in New Orleans.</strong> Come on, man. Come on, listen … Lonzo’s always been a playmaker. Why are you trying to change him into a defensive specialist that stays in the corner and shoots 3s? And you’re trying to change Zion and Brandon Ingram who all through their careers have never been playmakers. They’re scorers! Now you want to put the ball in their hands and be playmakers? Go score the ball and do what you do and guess what?<strong> They’re gonna have a hard time trying to win every game if the playmaker ain’t making the right plays,” </strong></em>LaVar said on<strong> ESPN LA 710.</strong></p>

<p>The Ball patriarch added that he doesn’t know whether he’ll be traded or not but urged the team to do it because he simply<strong> doesn’t like the way</strong> his son is playing under Van Gundy’s system:</p>
<p><em>“Oh, I don’t know what they’re gonna do. I don’t know what they’re gonna do<strong>. I hope he be traded though. </strong>Here’s the thing: I don’t like watching him play like he plays [right now],” </em>he concluded.</p>
<h2>The New York Knicks Want Lonzo Ball</h2>
<p>Lonzo and the Pelicans couldn’t reach an agreement on a contract extension and he’ll be a restricted free agent at the end of the season, and according to <strong>Marc Berman of the New York Post</strong>, the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> New York Knicks </strong></a>are doing their due diligence on him:</p>
<p><em>“The Knicks are looking to make a move at the March 25 NBA trade deadline for an upgrade — preferably for backcourt help. Though Rockets combo guard Victor Oladipo is available, Pelicans pass-first point guard<strong> Lonzo Ball is higher on Leon Rose’s list (…) The Post has learned the Knicks, with plenty of cap room, would be heavily on Ball’s radar as a restricted free agent,”</strong></em> Berman said.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Lonzo has repeatedly stated his desire to play with the Pelicans’ young core but whether the Pelicans view him as a building block going forward or not is yet to be seen. The Knicks are inclear need of a playmaker and he’d get a chance to prove his worth at the <strong>Madison Square Garden.</strong></p>

Knicks looking to land Lonzo Ball after father urges for a trade - Bolavip US

<p>It’s been a while since the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Knicks</a> </strong>were relevant around the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>,</strong> at least for good reasons. Now, on their first year under coach<strong> Tom Thibodeau, </strong>they look poised to put an end to their playoff drought.</p>
<p>The Knicks have been one of the <strong>most pleasant surprises of the season thus far.</strong> They’ve established a defensive identity and the team has shown capable of competing vs. any team night in and night out.</p>
<p>And, while they’re still years away from being a legit <strong>championship contender, </strong>it’s nice to see that they’ve finally put it together and are building a strong foundation for the future of one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-25-NBA-teams-with-most-fans-20200423-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most popular franchises in the world.</a><span></span></p>

<h2>New York Knicks Could Trade For Terry Rozier Or Lonzo Ball</h2>
<p>Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean that the Knicks are satisfied just yet. If anything, they’re still trying to improve their roster right now, and have made it a priority to add a starting-caliber point guard. According to<strong> Marc Berman of The New York Post,</strong> they’ve identified Terry Rozier and Lonzo Ball as their targets:</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-jwplayer" data-media-id="DjTbanlN" data-player-id="F20MlldI" id="jwplayer-95">   </div>
<p></p>
<p><em>“As electric as rookie <strong>Immanuel Quickley</strong> has been, they still think he could be a sixth-man stud or start as an off-the-ball guard in the right alignment. He’s not viewed as an elite playmaker. That is why the Knicks have always kept an eye on Hornets point guard <strong>Terry Rozier </strong>and young Pelicans playmaker<strong> Lonzo Ball </strong>(who would probably be more of a summer transaction),</em>” Berman said.</p>
<p>Needless to say, it would make more sense for them to go after Lonzo Ball, who’s already an elite playmaker and defensive stud and won’t be as expensive as Terry Rozier, <strong>a scoring guard with little upside.</strong></p>

<p>Whatever the case may be, it seems like the New York Knicks are for real this time and it’s only a matter of time before they become a prime destination for free agents again. And let’s face it: Who wouldn’t want to play <strong>in the Madison Square Garden?</strong></p>
