The Chicago Bulls have a longstanding interest in Lonzo Ball, and they were reportedly in negotiations with the Los Angeles Lakers to sign the point guard ahead of the February trade deadline. On this occasion, Los Angeles decided to keep Ball until the end of the season, and the Bulls will now have to negotiate a potential deal with the Pelicans.

The Bulls haven't been to the playoffs since 2017 and finished last season with just 22 wins. However, Chicago's roster contains plenty of young talent and they could send Kris Dunn and a number of draft picks to New Orleans in exchange for Ball.

Admittedly, the Bulls' decision to draft Coby White may have blocked the prospect of Lonzo playing at point guard, although many have speculated that the 21-year-old will eventually be moved to small forward anyway.
