The Chicago Bulls have had a brutal few seasons. After going all-in on a core of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic, they have won just a single playoff game with those three guys leading the way. A big part of the Bulls’ lack of success has been the absence of point guard Lonzo Ball.
Ball has been out of action for over two years now. When he was healthy at the start of the 2021-22 season, the Bulls were one of the more surprising teams in the East. Since he’s been out, they’ve been painfully mediocre. However, recent rumblings have indicated that he could try to return next season.
The GETLIKECOOP YouTube channel recently discussed how the return of Ball could change everything for the Bulls.
While getting Ball back will certainly help the Bulls, there should be questions as to whether or not he will be the same player he was when he first joined Chicago.
