VIDEO: Lonzo Ball Reveals He Found Out About Trade From Lakers on Twitter

In the two months since Lonzo Ball was dealt from the Lakers to the Pelicans, we haven't heard a lot from the young point guard. He appeared on Big Boy's REAL 92.3 LA radio show on Monday, speaking on the trade one of the first times. It turns out, Zo found out the same way all NBA fans did, through a Woj bomb.

It has to be very humbling to find out the franchise who dealt him did not have the decency to call just to make Ball aware of the situation. Ball said he was expecting a trade to happen, but it is hard to react to something like that until it actually happens.

To be fair to the Lakers, however, it's probably difficult to alert every player involved in a trade that they've been dealt before the news reaches Woj's eager ears and gets shared online for the world to see. In this day and age, news travels like lightning.

Ball had his ups and downs as a Laker but never quite lived up to the hype fans and his dad put on him when he arrived. He will lose the pressure of playing with Lebron James and the bright lights of LA to join Zion Williamson in New Orleans.
