#4: Is Lonzo Ball healthy? 

This one is of less long-term importance to the Bulls, but it would be a great story if Lonzo Ball could get back on the court and contribute. 

The Bulls can’t count on it, but Ball would be a fascinating X-Factor next season in several ways.  

If he’s healthy, the Bulls would have decent depth and could run out some wild lineups that would be tough to defend. 

He’s also a potential trade asset as an expiring contract who could help a contender, so if Lonzo is playing well at the trade deadline he could be dealt. 

There’s also a long-shot scenario where the Bulls are competitive enough to want to keep Ball around for the long-term. 

Ball is a sunk cost at this point and anything they get would be gravy, so let’s hope he makes it through training camp in one piece.
