Auburn's Isaac Okoro has been traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Lonzo Ball. This move comes as the Bulls seek to bolster their roster, while the Cavaliers take a significant risk due to Ball's injury history. Okoro, who averaged 6.1 points and shot 37% from three last season, is expected to receive more playing time in Chicago compared to his limited role in Cleveland, where he averaged just 19.1 minutes per game last season.

Okoro's solid defensive skills and ability to shoot from beyond the arc make him a valuable asset for the Bulls. The former fifth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft had a promising rookie season but has seen his minutes dwindle over the years. While the Cavaliers look to strengthen their bench with Ball, Okoro's increased playing time in Chicago could lead to a resurgence in his production.
