Once he starts running and having full contact play is when I will entertain Ball potentially returning. Big Ball is on record telling him to take his time which angers me but various doctors say that he’s done… We will see this offseason.

People are in awe of he crazy point totals but his defensive made him an elite player too. That not being there makes him far less impactful. The same would happen with Lonzo. I believe Klay's coming off the bench now these days too. Klay's days of making all-star teams and defensive team selections are _most likely_ done. I really don't want to be negative, I promise. I just think we need to drive head first into the "rebuild around Coby" sooner than later.

Blaming Krause, blaming Reinsdorf etc. Of course it's a Franchise of just Money Milking, but Fans from the U.S. seem not to have any patience when it comes building up a YOUNG Team. Zach, Vuč, Demar etc. really there to keep it competitive & the seats filled etc. Billy is know to be way better with the youngins then veterans & is still good to develop the Coach. Over here in Europe also "hate" the process because it just sucks as Fan. But from the smallest league to the Euroleague, we know it takes up 4 years easily, more so often nearly 7 till a Team dominates. Also today competition is crazy. When it comes to the NBA, when players invest in themselves the development is crazy as heck. Whole League is crop of the cream & way harder to build a Team that will dominate more then just one Championship run.

Agreed, except we should trade lavine. The team chemistry on the floor is way better without him. He would be a great asset if he’d be willing to step back and do whatever the team needs, even if it means coming off the bench. However, his ego is too big. Perfectly exemplified by the one time he was benched in the 4th quarter by Donovan, and never forgave him. He’s not a max contract player and clearing up his salary would allow the team to bring other players and pay the breakout players such as coby and Ayo.

The best Bust we've received in last 7 years. Even Fultz managed to stay in the league.

Going to be very hard to comeback after 2 years. Hoping for the kid but think it’s time to move on

This team with a healthy Lonzo playing like we know he can plus Zach back and DeMar extended plus pwill living up to his pick and a solid off season. I believe we can whoop some ass.

What other players have had this surgery? I am looking but I haven't been able to find other players who had it and still weren't able to return. Just wondering who those guys were.

If Lonzo can play for the Bulls again despite the fact that he will need a lot of time to get back into basketball shape the that's always good news for the Bulls hopefully Lonzo can get better than he was before

Man if we get him and he can be healthy and use next season to get back right..with coby and ayo coming along..PW too......even if we had to keep Levine. We could be legit real quick....

Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the video i have been needing! eff lonzo man, why is he never on the bench at bulls games???????????? could be adding morale and advice.. probably re injured his dumbass knee getting up and down outta that chair

lonzo coming back would be the best thing to ever happen to the bulls franchise! :D

I want to see him return. He should start off the bench for the time being until he is fully ready to play once again as the starting pg

I was literally WOW by how they were playing with him!

If he can come back and play that would be awesome. Will it be enough his play is great to come out of the east. No. If he can come back and play off the bench and help that would be awesome. But this team will need more because to be honest when he was healthy the team was maybe a player away from coming out the east. However great news no doubt.

It is great for Ball to come back ,but its been 2 yrs or more. When is it time for the Bulls to get some compensation for him due to injury!!! Go Bulls ✌️ 💯 💪 👊!!!

The 2D Worst Trade In Bulls History!

The defense between lonzo and alex... was really apparent that team's found to be difficult.

If Lonzo is back, I will suport the Bulls if the following happens: Changes: - Trade Zach for pieces - Let Demar walk - Trade Vuc for defensive PF Keep: - Keep Coby, let him be the closer - Resign Pat, make him SF - Keep Caruso, bench PG - Resign Drummond, start at C - Keep Julian - Start Lozno With these pieces, the Bulls have a solid team without a superstar. This would keep them in 4-7, but trading Zach & Vuc, and letting Demar walk is great way to sign on a superstar like Giannis in 2026-2027

I have always believed the BBB shoes were responsible for Lonzo Ball's injury woes.

Forgot he was still on the team. Wish him the best. Hopefully he can prove the doubters wrong

If we can get him back on full strength and what he was doing in 2021 we can get to the second round

Shaun Livingston typa career would be a win

Honestly

i hope he heals......

I hope this kid gets healthy and has a career. But can we just not pretend anymore that it's that likely? The guy is 26 and he played 2/3 of all possible games BEFORE he missed two years due to injury. IF he comes back for the start of the 2024-2025 season, that will mean he's missed over half of all possible games. Furthermore, he's NEVER played a single playoff game. So he's a veteran with all the injuries and none of the experience. I never understood the anticipation some people have for certain players every year. It's the Ben Simmons phenomenon. "This year he'll return to form even though he might have been overrated even at his best." Even if Lonzo returns, can we stop pretending that he wasn't incredibly overrated and overhyped by his carnival barker of a dad, Lavar Ball? When Derrick Rose injured his knee, he was 23 and never returned to form. What's even worse is that Lonzo Ball was NOWHERE near the player Derrick Rose was before getting injured. The guy is an assist heavy point guard that didn't even break 15 ppg in his best season. The league has evolved and ball dominant passing point guards are basically obsolete. Best case scenario is Lonzo gets healthy and becomes a role player off the bench.

I hate being the "What if..." guy, but think of what our defense could have been had Ball stayed healthy? Caruso, Dosunmo and Ball?

If Lonzo can comeback he probably will be on a minutes restriction for the first half of the season.

Well, when you sit out two years, you lose something.. most time significant loses for NBA basketball.. Best case he is a bench player for the next 3 years.. Worse case, he cant play at the NBA level anymore and the Bulls get that cap space back..

i wish he would come back but this sounds like a career ending one

Let just hope he can finally stay healthy because the bulls will definitely need him next season i don't know if Levine's going to be with the bulls next season but time will tell has a fan all I ask is for this bulls team can finish this season strong

get his contract off the books trade lavine for pieces & sign westbrook if clips letem go well be fine.

Let his pops take a break from the action.

OK. Let's say comes back. His contract is almost finished. Do the Bulls give him a new contract?? I say NO -- unless he gives a good discount for these lost years.

I pray that Christ heals his body and that based off the circumstances it shows not only to him but to everyone the power of God. I pray it opens his eyes and a door to his heart for God to step into, as Lonzo humbly, faithfully, and successfully thrives on in the NBA, carrying God with him to open doors in others lives as well.

He shoot 3s and the help on d gone help him to... Line up.. Coby... Dausumu... Ball... Williams... Bamba... That's a nice 5 bro

Maybe he'll come back with a new wig. That last one looks worn out.

Making a comeback for that purse his contract is up so he needs to show up again on that court I've been saying this for the past years why didn't he post any rehab videos or excericisng videos? Instead his ig got him attending parties which he later on deleted hahaha that dude is a fraud
