Lonzo Ball on being traded to Cleveland: It’s a blessing to join a team that truly has a shot at winning a championship

July 6, 2025 by Hoops Hype

During a guest appearance on the “What an Experience” podcast, the 27-year-old point guard explained why he’s so excited to play for the Cavs. Lonzo Ball is grateful for the opportunity to play for a title-contending team and opened up about how happy he is to be a part of the Cavaliers. “Just playing, competing for a ring. I feel like that should be the goal, I feel like that is the goal,” said Lonzo Ball. “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. I’m like, s*** 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.”

First up on Chicago’s to-do list is to re-sign Josh Giddey, a restricted free agent who is expected to command a salary near $30 million annually, sources told ESPN. The move to acquire Giddey in a player-for-player trade, without any additional draft compensation, looked a lot like the deal the team made last week when it swapped Lonzo Ball (age 27) for Isaac Okoro (age 24) from Cleveland. -via ESPN / June 30, 2025
