The Chicago Bulls have executed a trade, sending point guard Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for guard/forward Isaac Okoro. This move marks the first trade of the summer for the Bulls as they look to reshape their roster ahead of a transitional season.

In his five seasons with Cleveland, Okoro averaged 6.1 points and 2.4 rebounds, often coming off the bench. His acquisition aligns with the Bulls’ strategy to prioritize young players for a long-term rebuild, despite having frontcourt concerns unresolved. Meanwhile, Ball's four-year tenure with Chicago ends as he struggled with injuries, ultimately averaging 7.6 points in the last season before being sidelined.
