Ball is not cleared to play with a knee injury. So in a perfect world he could be a similar buy low Dinwiddie caliber player if the Bulls struggle this year. The may be moot if either Ball is damaged good or the Bulls regain some steam this year. Regardless, I could see a fit for a non dominant bigger guard playing with Luka and Dinwiddie.
Ball was my top reasonable pick in the offseason. I think he would be a great fit with Luka. But he is a 4. Not somebody you make the big trade for, but I would be very interested if we could get him on the cheap.
As I look back on that offseason, there was a 3 out there that we probably had a shot at getting. I was not a huge fan of the DeRozan fit with Luka, but I felt the same way about Din and that has worked out well. A Luka/DeRozan pairing surrounded by 3&D guys would have been interesting. Kind of crazy that Chicago got both guys.
