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.
Friday night’s three-team trade that never happened still was buzzing before the game. The Grizzlies’ MarShon Brooks and Wayne Selden were believed to be headed to Phoenix after the trade talks surfaced Friday night. Instead, confusion over whether the Grizzlies were including MarShon or Dillon Brooks killed the Memphis part of the deal, leading to a lot of talk on Saturday. Memphis coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he apologized to the players. MarShon Brooks still expressed his confusion over the circumstances. His mother learned of the trade near the end of Friday’s night’s game with Miami, even trying to tell him of the report from her seat in the stands. “It’s a little awkward, you know. I’m a human,” Brooks said. “I’ve got feelings. I’m not just numb to the situation. “I don’t know how it happened. I guess (the general managers) were in a group text or something.”
Chris Herrington: MarShon Brooks now joining Wayne Selden on the floor for the Grizzlies. Both have gotten larger than usual ovations upon taking the floor.
So what exactly what happened last night? Chris Wallace: We had been dealing with Washington in the trade (involving MarShon Brooks & Wayne Selden) and as soon as Dillon Brooks was mentioned in the trade, it stopped. I’m not sure where the other parties got Dillon from, but they didn’t get it from us. Once he was requested, then that was the end of that.
