Lonzo Ball replacement listed as possible Bulls trade target

Barring some incredible luck during the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery, the Chicago Bulls are not expected to have a draft pick in the summer of 2023. That means free agency and the trade market will be crucial for general manager Marc Eversley in the offseason as the Bulls try to turn things around from a 40-42 season.

According to Bleacher Report, finding a reliable Lonzo Ball replacement should be one of the Bulls’ main priorities. B/R lists Memphis’ Tyus Jones as one of the Bulls’ most realistic trade targets.

The former Duke guard just completed his eighth NBA season, and averaged a career-high in scoring at 10.2 points per game along with a career-high 5.2 assist average.

Via Bleacher Report:

“Chicago could go find a playmaker who’s a good enough decision-maker to figure out this roster.

Tyus Jones could be that type of player. He is a capable scorer and feisty defender, but he lives to move the basketball. And he’s allergic to turnovers. For his career, he has more than five times as many assists (2,108) as turnovers (400).”

Bleacher Report also lists Brooklyn’s Dorian Finney-Smith and Minnesota’s Kyle Anderson as potential targets for the Bulls.
