Ball will reportedly sign a four-year, $85 million deal to join the Bulls and pair up with Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic.

The move will make the Toronto Raptors' path to the playoffs a little bit more difficult next season as the Bulls continue to push to make the playoffs. 

Ball averaged 14.6 points, 5.7 assists, and shot 37.8% from three-point range last season working both on-ball and off-ball alongside Zion Williamson.
