After weeks of rumors that Lonzo Ball could be traded, the Bulls finally found a deal they were satisfied with.
Ball will now play for the Cavs in the 2025-26 NBA season, playing for a contract and an NBA title.
After the trade, Lonzo’s dad added another bold claim to the laundry list of claims he’s made in Lonzo’s career.

What was the claim made by LaVar?
LaVar went on ESPN Cleveland’s radio to talk about his son’s impact on the Cavs’ next season.
He believes that he is the missing piece that can elevate the Cavs to the title they’ve been looking for.
LaVar also believes that Lonzo has been carrying his past teams too much and that playing in Cleveland will take the pressure off of him.
We all know Lonzo has had his injury issues in the past, but hopefully, with a stretch of healthy play, this can be a career-changing moment for the former second overall pick.

Cleveland might not be done making moves after months of trade rumors around players like Darius Garland.
Bringing in Lonzo Ball adds depth at the guard position, so they very well could look to move Garland if a deal presents itself.
LaVar has made many bold claims before that have been eyebrow raisers, yet he has been right at times, so we will see if he’s right again this time around.
