Lonzo Ball, on his trade to the Cavs: "It's a blessing to finally fight for the ring"

Due to injuries, Lonzo Ball endured more than 2 years of not competing in the NBA. However, the guard was able to end that long absence this past season with the Chicago Bulls, despite also having injuries during that campaign.

Ball seemed destined to remain with a Bulls team that has not competed in the playoffs for years. But his luck changed this offseason when he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Isaac Okoro.

Suddenly, Lonzo finds himself in the best possible scenario in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs are favored to make it to the Finals next season, with injuries to Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles tendons. That's why he expressed gratitude during his appearance on the podcast "What an Experience":

"Just to play, compete for a ring. I feel like that should be the goal, I feel like that is the goal. So, I'm happy to get there and start. Get to know everyone, get familiar with everything, and go as far as we can," he began.

"I feel like it's a blessing, brother. To be honest, everyone asks me how I feel about the trade. And I tell them: 'I'm happy to keep playing anywhere, and even more so on a team with real chances to win a ring.' All my life I've played basketball the right way, that is, to win games, so I believe I'm going into a great situation and just want to play my role and do whatever I can to help," Lonzo Ball concluded.
