Multiple league sources told Action Network that Chicago is (currently) the most likely landing spot for Ball. That’s based on multiple factors, including the preference of both Ball and his agent, Rich Paul, Chicago’s interest in making a roster move and the Pelicans’ openness to discussions. – via Matt Moore @ Action Network

I wonder what the Bulls offer is. LM or White or WCJ?

If bulls land Lonzo that’s one less team we can convince they need Kemba lol.
Anyway overpaying lonzo to stay might not be the worst thing for the bulls ... adding big contracts to their other mediocre prospects that will be coming off rookie deals can really mess up their prospects of competing.

It’s a betting site, apparently.  My guess is that this is an educated guess, rather than based upon any real sources.

I haven't given up on Kemba (like so many others), but you speak the truth. They are pretty much the most likely trade partner for him with their previous interest. Who after that? The Knicks?

It doesn't really matter either way - we need a 3rd All-Star level player to have any possibility of contending, and Kemba is better than anything we can get from CHI. We simply aren't trading Kemba for a player with the ceiling of Kemba.

In other words, an educated guess it’s an educated guess.

Yes, although I rank the likelihood of my guess being accurate higher than I do his guess.

Their recent trade with Knicks may change that
