The Cavs traded for Ball because they believe in him as a winner. His playmaking and defensive skills as a 6’6” point guard will give them a new dynamic to compete with. If all goes right, Ball has a chance to complete one of the best comeback stories in sports.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball is in good spirits after the Chicago Bulls traded him for wing Isaac Okoro, noting that he's still also just "happy to still be playing anywhere."

If healthy this season, Ball will help the Cavaliers' second unit with his decision-making, shooting and defense.
