  • Bulls Trade Justin Holiday To Grizzlies

    Grizzlies package players, picks for Bulls guard Justin Holiday

    The Memphis Grizzlies have acquired Chicago Bulls guard Justin Holiday for two players and two future second-round draft picks, the teams announced Thursday night.

    The Grizzlies sent the Bulls their 2019 and 2020 second-round picks, along with forward Wayne Selden and guard MarShon Brooks.

    The Bulls also waived guard Cameron Payne, who was in his third season in Chicago.

    Memphis has struggled lately and coveted the athletic playmaking ability of Holiday, who is averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 35 minutes per game.

    Holiday is on an expiring contract and could be moved again before the Feb. 7 trade deadline as long as his contract is not aggregated with another player. However, by giving up the two second-round picks, it would seem Memphis' intent is to re-sign Holiday in the summer.

    The Grizzlies remain $463,000 under the luxury tax with the $4.4 million addition of Holiday.

    Payne, 24, has struggled to stay healthy and find traction in the league since the Oklahoma City Thunder selected him 14th overall in the 2015 NBA draft. He averaged 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 18.8 minutes per game over three seasons with the Bulls.
