The Chicago Bulls have traded a protected second-round pick of the 2020 NBA Draft to the Houston Rockets for guard Michael Carter-Williams and cash considerations. In a preceding move, the Bulls waived guard MarShon Brooks. Carter-Williams was also waived following the trade.
Shams Charania: Sources: The Bulls and MarShon Brooks‘ agent, Wallace Prather, plan to work on resolution for new destination for Brooks. Chicago doesn’t plan to have Brooks report to team, or waive him immediately, after Memphis trade.
The Chicago Bulls have traded forward Justin Holiday to the Memphis Grizzlies for guard MarShon Brooks and guard/forward Wayne Selden Jr., as well as the Grizzlies’ 2019 and 2020 second-round picks. In a related move, the Bulls also waived guard Cameron Payne.
Albert Nahmad: Grizzlies will acquire Justin Holiday from Bulls in exchange for MarShon Brooks, Wayne Selden, and their 2nd-round picks in 2019 and 2020 (per @Adrian Wojnarowski). Bulls, who’ll need to waive a player, will create a $2.7M trade exception. Grizzlies will move to $463K below luxury tax line.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Memphis is trading Marshon Brooks and Wayne Selden and two second-round picks to Chicago for Justin Holiday, league sources tell ESPN.
As we all know by now, the Grizzlies believed they were sending MarShon Brooks in the deal. The Suns, reportedly, were under the impression that Memphis was sending Dillon Brooks. That was a no-go for the Grizzlies. Now, Wallace had to tell MarShon and Selden that they were actually being retained. “I was like, huh?” MarShon said. “I was confused. This had never happened before.”
