[Wojnarowski] As expected, Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has picked up the $21.4 million option on his contract for 2024-2025, sources tell ESPN. Ball has missed the last 2.5 seasons with a knee injury. He signed an original four-year, $80M free agent deal in 2021.

Of a possible 246 games Lonzo could’ve played…he’s only played 35. Thats wild
Keep cashing those checks man. Can’t be mad at him
Is it possible he plays this season?
Awesome. Need to maintain roster contikneeity! See you in the play-in game FINALS again Miami!!!
It’s no one’s fault, can’t blame him for taking the money. We can only hope he can make it back.
Basketball salaries annoy the fuck out of me sometimes.
Very good for him!
I understand why he did this by its extremely shitty of him to do
Prolly end up one of worst contracts given out in nba history. Love Lonzo sucks he got injured but man he’s hampered this team with that contract hit
AK doesn’t get a pass, but not sure any other team has had 20 million dollars of dead weight for the last two years like the Bulls have had. That’s quite a bit
I feel like a lot of Lonzo’s skill is just passing the ball, which is something I don’t think you’d lose with injuries.
I doubt he’ll be worth 21.4mil, but maybe better than a Vet Minimum player?
There has to be a mechanism that allows team to pay the man but take him off the books. The truth is that his contract fucked the Bulls for nearly half a decade.
hope he can get back on the court next season!
Love you, Bby 😍
Sometimes i like to dram. I dream of the triumphant return of Lonzo Ball and perfect symbiosis between Lonzo and Coby where Lonzo pick us up the defensive deficiencies of Cobys and unlock Coby offensively. We could instantly be Orlando good.
Do you see how irrational and sad my phantasies are.
I have small hope he comes back around Christmas. Give Lonzo as much time to recover and hopefully come off bench. But I don’t know
“Worth every penny if you ask me”
-AK
Stealing money, cant blame him though . He won’t come back, even if he does he’ll never be the same player
lol
As a Sox fan, between him, Eloy and yoan, I’m convinced JR just picks glass players to give the bag.
They should change the rule so that you can’t opt into a final year if you haven’t played at least half the games on your current contract.
The same way you have to play 65 games to qualify for awards.
Not his fault he got hurt but man, it just hurts to have that much money invested in a guy that has only played a fraction of his possible games for us.
Free cheese
What a joke our franchise is
Scam artist.
