How the Lakers can sign Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball is coming home, or at least that’s what Lakers fans are hoping now that it seems like him leaving New Orleans this summer is a realistic possibility. While it’s not as simple as that, it’s not impossible either.

Ball will be a restricted free agent, which means the Pelicans have the power to match any offer sheet that he signs, but according to a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic on Tuesday, they’re not expected to match a “significant” offer sheet for him. As things stand, the Lakers can’t make Ball that type of offer, but they can theoretically get there.
