Lonzo Ball has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even though he enjoyed playing in Chicago with the Bulls, Lonzo sees this opportunity as a blessing.
Lonzo recently made an appearance on the What an Experience Podcast and he spoke about joining the Cavs.
“Just playing, competing for a ring. I feel like that should be the goal, I feel like that is the goal,” Lonzo said. “So, happy to get over there and get started. To meet everybody, get familiar with everything, and take it as far as we can.
“I feel like it’s just a blessing, bro. To be honest, I mean, everybody keeps asking me how I feel about the trade,” Lonzo said. “I’m like, I’m happy to still be playing anywhere, let alone a team that has a real chance to win a ring.
“My whole life, I feel like I’ve been playing the right brand of basketball, and that’s to win games. So I feel like I’m going to a great situation and I just want to play my role and do what I can to help.”
Before his devastating knee injury, Lonzo helped lead to Bulls to the best record in the East during the first half of the 2021-22 season. Now, Lonzo joining a 64-win Cavaliers team should allow him to help Cleveland go to the next level.
