The Lakers will consider the possibility of signing back to the ball, but will they carefully consider the asking price about him?

The Athletic's Los Angeles Lakers reporter Jovan Buha recently conducted a live broadcast, and he also answered questions from netizens during the live broadcast, in which he also talked about the possibility that the Lakers will sign Lonzo Ball, who is currently playing for the Chicago Bulls this summer.

Buha said: I think they will indeed consider the possibility of introducing Ball. The key issue is about his asking price, and you have to take into account health factors. Let's look at his injury history, you can't even guarantee that he will be able to compete at least 60 games in a season. So no matter what chips you provide for him, in this case, you have to give a discount. After all, under normal circumstances, this guy may only participate in 40 to 50 games, and he may also be reimbursed in advance for the season. In order to ensure his attendance rate, the Lakers also need to manage him, and the Lakers also have to find ways to arrange his playing time more scientifically so that he can stay until mid-April without being injured.

In the NBA regular season this season, Ball made a total of 35 appearances in 82 games, averaging 22.2 minutes per game, averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 36.6%, three-point shooting percentage 34.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.5%. Powell's performance this season is quite average. He has good outside shooting stability on the offensive end. He can also take on the tasks of passing and organizing offense, and he can also provide certain support to the team on the defensive end. However, the problem is that Ball's attendance rate this season is still seriously insufficient. He has not even participated in more than 40 games. Moreover, he has not appeared on the court since February 28, and his physical condition is still very worrying.

Bauer completed an early contract renewal with the Bulls in February this year. He received a two-year contract with a total amount of $20 million, of which the second year of the contract was a team option. Ball's contract itself is actually quite high-quality. His salary next season is $10 million, which is also a relatively suitable price. If Ball can play in the 60+ regular season games and stay healthy in the playoffs, his contract is of course valuable. However, the problem is that Ball has played more than 60 regular season games in only one season in his eight seasons (and only 63), and has played less than 50 games in five seasons. Given the Lakers' demand for immediate combat players, Ball is not a very suitable candidate no matter how he thinks of him. Will they really consider signing him?
