The Lakers have been paying attention to the news of Ball Brother, and they also have a long tradition of introducing old players?

According to Dan Woike, a Los Angeles Lakers reporter, the Lakers have been paying attention to the situation of Chicago Bulls' backcourt player Lonzo Ball for a long time.

Woike said: That's right, the Lakers have always been very interested in Lonzo Ball. The Lakers really like to trade back their old players, and they have a long tradition in this regard. The team is very willing to trade them back because the team is aware of their situation. Don't forget that they just brought D Angelo Russell back to the team not long ago. I think Lonzo is a very comprehensive player. Not only can he assume the responsibility of holding the ball, he is actually a player who can play without the ball. He can play the role of the second organizer on the offensive end. His passing ability is quite excellent, his fixed-point shooting is very accurate, and his role on the defensive end is also very comprehensive. Overall, he is a player with both offense and defense, and he can also provide a lot of help and support to the Lakers' second team.

In the NBA regular season this season, Ball made a total of 35 appearances in 82 games, averaging 22.2 minutes per game, averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 36.6%, three-point shooting percentage 34.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.5%. Ball's performance this season is actually not particularly bad. Although he seems to be incredibly effective, at least his stability in outside shooting is still good. He can also undertake some organizational and tandem tasks, and his performance on the defensive end is also at a moderate level. Although the decline from its peak period was very obvious, Ball was able to play some role on the court. In February this year, Ball completed an early contract renewal with the Bulls. He received a two-year contract with a total amount of $20 million from the Bulls, of which the second year of the contract was the team option. Ball's salary will be $10 million next season, and considering Ball's ability, the price is actually pretty good. The problem is that none of us can know how Ball will be attending next season. Ball finally made a comeback this season, but his attendance rate is still less than 50%, and he is reimbursed in advance for the season. This also shows that he has not returned to his ideal level in terms of physical condition, nor has he met the standards to adapt to the pace and intensity of the NBA. What the Lakers need is players who can maintain enough attendance throughout the season and be able to play in the playoffs. Is Ball really capable of doing this?
