In the 2025 NBA offseason, add heavy news to the Bulls Cavaliers trade to rewrite the Eastern Conference trend

The Knight exchanged Okoro for the glass man Ball?

This transaction is very similar to opening a blind box! In the NBA trade announced late at night on June 28, 2025, the Bulls sent out the injury-hit Lonzo Ball and exchanged the Cavaliers back to the defensive vanguard Isaac Okoro.

On the surface is a star-changing puzzle, but in fact it is a bet agreement between the two teams for the future. The Bulls threw out Ball's remaining two years of 34 million contract, in exchange for the 24-year-old and healthy Ocoro, who was obviously aimed at the younger lineup.

Bauer has only played 35 games in the past two years, and repeated knee surgery has completely lost management.

In contrast, Okoro played 74 games last season, with an average of 9.4 points and 3 rebounds per game hidden behind the data, which is not obvious, which perfectly adapts to the Bulls' urgently needed wing defense.

The bulls did not lose money in this transaction.

The Cavaliers take over Ball is really a risky one.

Garland and Mobley do need passers, and Ball's career-average of 6.4 assists is really attractive.

But Merrill, who had just signed a four-year contract in the Cavaliers' backcourt, betting on a glass man with an attendance rate of less than 30% in the past three years, was too big.

What's more important is that after Okoro left, the Cavaliers' wing defense collapsed directly.

Transfer defensive cores to an uncertain organizer, which is like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

fans are discussing who makes money and who loses, but the answer has long been written in the player's medical record book.

Bauer can recover 70% of his skills, and the Cavaliers will make a fortune; if he wants to lie in the hospital bed again, the medical team in Cleveland may have resigned overnight.

Ocorro only needs to increase the three-point shooting percentage to 35%, and the Bulls will be free to pick up a 3D player.

Now it is said that winning or losing is too early, and the chips on the gambling table have to wait until the new season starts before they can be revealed.

Look at it. If Ball appears in the opening game next season, the Cavaliers fans will definitely cover their eyes together.

If Ocorro was used as the second Caruso by the Bulls, the Cavaliers management would probably be criticized as a hot topic.

NBA trading is sometimes more exciting than opening blind boxes, and the bet is heartbeat.
