Lonzo Ball is one of the best role players in the NBA (when healthy). The former UCLA star returned to action (last season) after missing nearly three years due to injuries. Last week, ESPN's Shams Charania reported the news that Ball has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Issac Okoro.

During a guest appearance on the “What an Experience” podcast, the 27-year-old point guard explained why he's so excited to play for the Cavs. Lonzo Ball is grateful for the opportunity to play for a title-contending team and opened up about how happy he is to be a part of the Cavaliers.

NBA veteran Lonzo Ball has not had an easy road to recovery since a series of injuries ravaged his health. This summer, after four years with the Bulls, his career took another twist in a trade that sent him to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite leaving behind unfinished business in Chicago, Ball says he's looking forward to the new opportunity.
