Bulls Sign Lonzo Ball to Four-Year, $85 Million Deal

The Chicago Bulls signed veteran point guard Lonzo Ball to a four-year, $85 million contract that will give superstar guard Zach LaVine a backcourt partner, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Ball, who had spent the last few seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, was expected to draw interest from the Bulls, New York Knicks, and the Charlotte Hornets this offseason after coming off a solid year in New Orleans.

Ball averaged a career high 14.6 points per game for the Pelicans last season.
