🚨JUST IN: Lonzo Ball EXPECTED To Play Next Season | Chicago Bulls News
What’s going on everybody welcome into the Bulls report my name is Patrick seatman and I am a happy man today because we got some positive injury news around that guy right there Lonzo balls he could be coming back soon and a bunch of members of the Bulls front office
Fully expect him to be back next season we’ll dive into that quote from Casey Johnson here in a second but guys we are five Subs subcribers away from 6K here on the Channel first off just thank you guys so much for the support you guys showing me every single video I really
Do appreciate it and shout out to all 5,955 or 95 of you guys who have already hit that sub button but if you guys haven’t already want to help me out and hit that sub button maybe you guys could be the 6,000th subscriber here on the Bulls report let’s dive into what casy
Johnson had to say this is a longer quote so stay with me but he was asked about Lonzo ball in a mailbag and I thought everything he said was worth noting he says there’s growing buzz from some who talk to ball that he’ll play next season love to hear it also as
Stated in the last answer that optimism needs to be measured against the fact that he hasn’t started taking contact or playing five on five everyone associated with the bulls is rooting for ball and the Bulls have to give him one more chance unless they trade him and there
Was little interest in his contract when it was included in some preliminary talks leading up to the trade deadline that was a key part mostly as part of larger packages I thought it was interesting that he said that some teams were calling about Lonzo but he carried
On to say this since ball is almost guaranteed to pick up his player option if you can play and the Bulls don’t trade him he’ll be on the Bulls since their only way out would be to have an independent panel of doctors deem balls injury career ending so little
Concerning at the last half of that quote but overall I’m a happy man with what we heard from Casey Johnson right there I thought it was actually very interesting that he said teams are calling about Lonzo ball in a potential trade package for a big big time deal
And it just still my head just starts to really start turning here as like what trade offers did the balls have at the deadline where they fully said we are standing Pat for a three or third trade deadline in a row they did not make a move but overall I’m happy for Lonzo
Ball I think he’s just slowly working his way back we saw videos of him dunking the other day which is obviously great news for him and just you know where he’s at athletically but I also thought Casey Johnson wrapped it up pretty well talking about you know what
Lonzo ball could be coming back from injury and I thought it was interesting he said I believe that Lonzo can be a rotational NBA player again when I see it it seems highly unlikely for anyone to come back from a 2 and 1 half year absence after a rare liament transplant
Surgery and then contribute at a high level again with his salary on the books and no Market realistic mechanism to move Zack oine management is going to be unable to bring back dear and Pat or make any real investment in fixing any of the other Wing or Center depth
Returns or concerns so listen I fully you know really do believe that Lonzo ball can get back to his old self you know that guy who you know was filling up the stat sheet in that first season here in Chicago but I think his game’s going to have to change I don’t think
It’s going to be the same you know up and down the floor Lonzo ball he’s going to have to use the IQ part of his game he’s going to have to be more intelligent than other players and he does have that ability because what I
Love so much about Lonzo is he was is just a winning player at his core he plays basketball the right way he’s always the guy that’s making the extra pass who’s diving on the floor for loose ball and he doesn’t necessarily care about his own stats he cares about the
Wins and loss col so even though yes he’s going to lose a ton of that athletic ability that led him to have a great year in 2021 I still think he can you know change his game a little bit and maybe he can’t put up the production
He did in these 35 games of averaging 13 you know five rebounds and five assists but what if he can be you know a nine5 five guy or a you know a 8 seven and six guy was still given Elite defense on that side of the floor which is also
Another part of his game which you know I’ll talk about here in a second that may take a you know a huge step back but the shooting that’s going to be with Lonzo you know he shot 42.3% from downtown you know it’s just credit to him and his work ethic coming out of
UCLA and overall he was special that year like I understand it’s been a very long time he’s coming off these major surgeries but we forgot that like Lonzo he was the third best player on that Bulls team that was the top of the Eastern conference he had uh dear roseen
Top five in MVP polls before he got hurt I mean Demar was averaging damn near 285 in five a big reason of that was Lonzo ball getting him in his spots and you know really helping him just get the most out of his game so I really think
Lonzo has a chance to get back to his old self it just may look differently than what we were used to seeing here in Chicago but I’ll get you guys involved on today’s show can Lonzo ball return to his old self give me a y for yes or an N
For no down in the comments section I’ll make this depin comment on today’s video so let your thoughts be heard down in the comment section maybe you guys spark a little debate down there love to see what you guys have to say coming up next year on this show we’re going to be
Talking about the Bish chances to make the playoffs because I think it’s just more and more likely as I’m starting to look at these matchups that we are potentially going to see a Chicago Boston round one matchup but first I do want to give a huge shout out to today’s

Bullets will be taking on the Boston Celtics in round one of the playoffs and I actually I’m not saying the Bulls would win that series there was actually you know a no Zer percent no I’ll give them a 1% chance to win that series because the Bulls are one of the best
Clutch teams in the NBA and if the games are close down the stretch I’m going to say this right now I’d rather the ball on Demar D rozan hands then Jason tatums dear he is the most clutch player in the NBA this season hence why he’s minus 200
To win that award so I really do believe the Bulls will be taking on Boston round one of the playoffs and you know BS are going to have to start off with beating the Atlanta Hawks um that’s probably going to be the 910 matchup you know
There’s a lot of games in between you know the 8 to the nine seed and then the 10 to 11 seed so I think that’s going to be the first game then obviously we know Caruso I dumo they have done a number on Trey young in the past Trey Young’s
Really struggled against Chicago I think he’s only won like one game out of like nine chances or whatever that that is but you know overall the Bulls have just gotten the best from them and then let’s just say they get the Pacers in that little nine or that’ll be the 98 matchup
In order to get into the playoffs I’d honestly like the Bull’s chances I mean we was just watching a couple weeks ago the Bulls take on Indiana in Indiana and demard Rosen killed him and we also know Tyrese halberton has struggled up lately as this game is Just slowing down and
The refs are kind of holding on to their whistle a little more and the more physical brand of basketball is being seen you know really you know winning at the highest level I think that favors the Bulls because Alex cruo is dumo these really physical players think can
Really get the best of Tyrese halberton and that’s why I got the Indiana Pacers as my number one team and who I want to play in the playin tournament I think the Bulls would have the best chance of beating IND and I would really you know I would
Hammer the Bulls I’d put a lot of money on that but then number two for me would also be the Miami Heat I think you know I would still pick the heat to win this game just because of what Eric sper and Jimmy Butler have done you know it’s giv
Respect to those guys but you know I think the Bulls would have a chance because they were up by four with two minutes left last season in order to get in the playoffs and also I got the 76ers assuming them beads it back you know I think he’s such a problem he has
Dominated the Bulls in years past but you know my take on all this cuz I think there is a camp that says you know I don’t want the Bulls get in the playoffs cuz they would just beat or just lose to the Celtics in either four or five games
And I would want them to get a lottery pick yes I understand that but it would also be great for these Young Bucks to get great playoff experience I mean Kobe white and IOD assmo what they’ve done in the second half of the season has been
No short of special and you know I would love to see them in a playoff atmosphere because I want to see if Kobe white if his offensive game can translate to the playoffs you know the Celtics have great point of attack Defenders and Drew holiday and Dereck white but I would
Like to see how Kobe white would kind of manufacture that matchup and see if he can continue averaging 21 points a game and then also from IO dumo I want to see if he can continue this shooting you know hot streak he’s on and shoot 43%
Damn near from downtown so yes I would like the lottery pick but I would also like to see white and DMO definitely get those playoff reps and I wish Patrick Williams is healthy because if he was healthy you know I I would almost lock the Bulls into making the playoffs
Because that three and D Wing it’s like literally exactly what the Bulls need right now and just seeing him just get those reps it would be awesome but you know obviously it’s sad that he’s not going to be here but you know I think Kobe white and n it would be great for
Them to get those you know obviously playoff reps but let me know what is your confidence level in the bulls making the playoffs I’m going to scale my confidence at a probably a seven and a half I give the Bulls a 75% chance right now way higher than probably most
People to make the playoffs well we know 1 through 10 confidence level in Chicago making the offs and if we get any more injury updates around Lonzo Kobe white obviously and then Alex kuso I’ll video for you guys ASAP so hit that sub button we’re less than five away from 6K I
Would really appreciate it but thank you guys so much for watching as always go Both

WE want LONZO Ball to play ASAP this season.. Next season might be too late and there might be some CHANGED of minds on the part of the management.. We want to see how Lonzo could help the Bulls in the playoffs.
I got one question did Rose ever return to his prior to injury self? I wish the best for Lonzo but he has an incredibly hard journey still to even play basketball at a rotational level let alone a starter.
We knew this almost two years ago. This is not even new, news 😂😂. But you gotta get the bulls fans hyped up, so I understand.
His career is over 😅
Zoe will be back fully but smarter
