NBA management accepted the Chicago Bulls' offer. Lonzo Ball will not play officially next season!
Lonzo Ball will receive just $10.2 million next season.
It's a bad situation for Lonzo Ball's career.

I think the Bulls made the only right decision by applying for a Disabled Player Exception because it will allow them to sign a free agent who can probably partially compensate for the loss of Lonzo. Anyway, it's certainly not good for Lonzo because his NBA career will likely be over soon. At least, I don't really believe that he will be able to get back to his former playing shape after such an injury and multiple surgeries.

Thanks for the correct explanation. I understood differently, I'm sorry about that.
This is a positive situation for the Chicago Bulls. In this way, they can replace Lonzo with someone else.

It's the curse of NBA player falling to famous women and we all know that it's not a great combination. As for the offer of Miami, not sure if that is enough for the Blazers though, I thought they will include other names like Kyle Lowry + Herro + future draft picks.

So yeah, we will see if the Blazers management are going to bite on this offer or will have to work with Miami to include other players.

I think it’s a little more than that. For them to comment on their relationship I’d say it’s gotten to the point that they’re hanging out quite a bit. It’s been a while since the playoffs, where she was spotted watching the Miami Heat. I’d imagine if they weren’t already hanging out back then, that’s when they exchanged information and have been seeing each other for at least several weeks, not that it matters.

Same with you. I am also in the impression that aside from Herro, they will also add Robinson or Lowry.

Not sure about that future picks and how Blazers will take that offer, it will be depending on how both managements will
discuss the offer and will close the trade.

We will hear updates regarding to these trades as knowing the Socmed. Some are speculation and some are smoke
that's already giving hints for potential closures.

+10M without hitting the luxury tax. The NBA usually gives this to teams who will report one of their high-paid players that will be unable to play the whole season. It will definitely be helpful for the Chicago Bulls.

But, I cannot think of a player that would fill that hole. Perhaps they should try Isaiah Thomas, he had been looking for a team to adopt him. It's not like he will sign a contract already, they have like try-outs if I am right.
It's not easy to find a good point guard now, the Chicago Bulls are already filled with offensive players, their big three can do so much on that area, all they need is who will be the playmaker for them.
And, if there's more money left, they should sign a defensive player specialist. They always lack on that part with only Caruso who can stop offensive players. He may need some backup on defense.

I'm seeing articles online saying that the Blazers are "unmotivated" in trading Lillard to the Heat.

It seems like the initial offer of the Heat which is Herro + 3 first round picks isn't good enough to land Lillard. Some articles also said that the Blazers wanted another first round pick, and a valuable player aside from their first trade package if they wanted Dame. I wonder who will be that "valuable player" that they wanted, and if the Heat really want to add another draft pick to the package. On the other hand, teams who are interested in Lillard before aren't interested anymore because it seems like Dame don't want to play for other teams aside from the Heat. This is a good sign for the Heat, so they just need to fulfill what the Blazers wants if they really wanted to land Dame.

Overall, I don't care about Shakira and Butler meeting, but I'm more excited about which players will the Heat, and Pat Riley give to the Blazers just to get Dame.

That's the closest thing that would happen because they cannot gamble on Lonzo Ball anymore due to his injury. What happened is just considered a loss on their part, but that's business, there's a risk in signing big contract with the players and it's just sad a promising player turns out to be a burden to the team. Well, this is not something new though as there are lots of players that is already the same scenario with the Lonzo Ball, both party just have to deal with it.

The dude is only 25 years of age. But in such a short time he has been through a lot. I still do not think that he's going to just retire. But all these things have certainly taken a big toll on his career. These three brothers could have been something amazing for the future of the NBA. The future of Lonzo Ball to be very bright at this moment. Being injured for a long time in the NBA can be a big problem for anyone. But he seems to be a great fighter. Not everyone can actually overcome these types of problems.
