The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> have agreed to trade Lonzo Ball<\/a> and two second-round draft picks to the Utah Jazz<\/a>, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.<\/p>\n

Ball’s agent, Rich Paul, and the Jazz are expected to discuss his future soon, sources told Charania.<\/p>\n

Utah agreed to another trade Wednesday, sending center Jock Landale<\/a> to the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> for cash considerations, sources told Charania.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

The trades involving Ball and Landale came one day after Utah pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire Jaren Jackson Jr<\/a>. in an eight-player deal with the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>. Landale was dealt from Memphis to Utah as part of that deal.<\/p>\n

Ball made an unprecedented return from three arthroscopic knee surgeries last season, appearing in his first NBA game in over 1,000 days in October 2024. After a run of solid play, Ball was rewarded with a contract extension from the Chicago Bulls<\/a> and then later traded to the Cavaliers over the summer for Isaac Okoro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ball, 28, has struggled in Cleveland, however, averaging a career-low 4.6 points while shooting just 30% from the field and below 30% from 3. He’s due $10 million next season before becoming a free agent in the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to trade Lonzo Ball and two second-round draft picks to the Utah Jazz,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-454156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
