Bulls' offseason trade is working out purely by accident

The Chicago Bulls traded Lonzo Ball for Isaac Okoro this offseason for a few reasons. Firstly, they wanted to add some ball-stopping on the wings, and Okoro provides that. Plus, with Josh Giddey taking over as the primary ballhandler, there didn't appear to be much opportunity for Ball in the Bulls' rotation anymore, so they sent him to Ohio.

So far this year, Okoro has been inconsistent, and Ball seems to be fitting in well in Cleveland; on its face, it might not look like a win for the Bulls. But if nothing else, it's opened up chances for Tre Jones, Ayo Dosunmu, and the rest of the multi-headed Bulls backcourt.
