JULY 10th, 5:01pm: The signing is official, according to a team press release.
JULY 2nd, 9:17pm: The Bulls have agreed to sign shooting guard Justin Holiday to a two-year, $9MM deal, Shams Charania of The Vertical tweets.
The 3-and-D specialist had been previously linked to the Timberwolves and Knicks but settled on the team that he played for in the latter half of the 2015/16 campaign.
In 82 games with New York last season, the 28-year-old posted a career high of 7.7 points per. He’ll slot in to a Bulls team that looks considerably different than the one he left in 2016.
These days, gone are organization cornerstones Tom Thibodeau and Jimmy Butler, replaced by Fred Hoiberg and – as of the 2017 NBA Draft – a roster in the midst of a rebuild.
Nooo! I wanted him back. Scrappy player, good D, not a bad shooting stroke either.
I’m really surprised thats all he got. Thought he could get 6-8 from someone for sure. He fit so many teams.
Physically yes he seems to have it all together.
My thought is perhaps not the greatest teammate? Doesn’t have the attitude of a 8 through 10 role guy?
I don’t know anything and haven’t heard anything. I’m just thinking out loud why the low salary.
When do the Mills must go chants start up
Surprised he didn’t go to the Pelicans with Jrue
I thought there was Big Talk of that this Summer that they were going to play together. I guess the Pelicans didn’t have room under the cap ?
Dunn, Payne, Grant, Holiday… 4 mediocre & young point guards in Chicago.
Traded- Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, Doug McDermott, 2017 2nd round and Derrick Rose to acquire them.
Well. That’s certainly a misleading comment. But I’ll choose to concentrate on the inaccuracies. Holiday isn’t a PG.
TBH he can prob run the point better than some of those guys tho
And our own first round pick back to minny as part of Butler trade! They are geniuses , great leaders of the LEMMINGS:)
