1. It’s Ayo time

2. Does this means the Cavs aren’t bringing back Ty

3. No way Bulls did another straight player swap right

4. Another year

   Another 1 player for 1 player trade by the Chicago Bulls

5. Cavs must know Ty Jerome is leaving

6. Oh

7. Literally risk free. Okoro hasn’t progressed, so it seems worth it

8. Lonzo is winning the 2026 Finals MVP 😤

9. I really like this for the Cavs.

   If Lonzo’s healthy, I think he really helps them.

   If he’s not, I don’t think Okoro helps you that much in the playoffs, so it isn’t a huge loss

10. Bulls have to have gotten more right? … Right?

11. Why would Chicago do this lol? At least Lonzo gets to play for a good team.

12. Turned down Marcus smart and a 1st during the season to extend him then trade him for Okoro? Nice AK

13. It’s physically impossible for our front office to acquire any draft picks in trades apparently

14. what a weird trade

15. Wild. Nice trade, Cavs

16. Chicago randomly helping other teams make it to the finals. True bros.

17. chicago has one of the funniest front offices in the league

18. Cleveland got better. That’s if lonzo stays healthy. Most his injuries have been bad luck

19. Bulls West dreams dashed

20. This is a great trade for the Cavs, Lonzo is only making like 10 mil per year the next two seasons.

21. Huge for Cavs if he stays healthy, great defense and playmaking off the bench will be invaluable. 

    Also I was randomly watching videos of his old ugly jumpshot and it really is remarkable how he managed to turn that around. 

22. Hope Lonzo does well in Cleveland

23. Are we all just pretending Lonzo’s health isn’t a major concern?

    It’s a good risk for the Cavs since Okoro didn’t get a lot of minutes anyways (especially in the playoffs)

24. Holy shit we actually dumped Okoro for a solid backup pg

25. Words cannot express the pain I am in. I might be the only person on the planet with an Isaac Okoro jersey

26. If this is another 1 player for 1 player trade then congrats to the Cavaliers for winning the 2026 NBA championship.

27. Cleveland gets better, you think guys struggled with Haliburton wait til Lonzo start clamping shit(please stay healthy).

28. Our front office is enamored by lottery picks who cant put up 10 a night.

    Ball at least could provide some on-court leadership and ball movement. I’m happy he’s on a competitive team, but we stay getting mugged in trades. The Bulls print money and aren’t an apron team ,yet we’re out here trading down for cash considerations.

    Please, for the love of the game, someone make Jerry an offer he can’t refuse. Where are the billionaires when you really need em?
