Report: Bulls, Justin Holiday agree to 2-year, $9M deal
Justin Holiday may be heading back to the Windy City.
The Chicago Bulls have agreed to sign the free-agent shooting guard to a fully guaranteed two-year contract worth $9 million, league sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania.
The 28-year-old joined the Bulls at the 2016 trade deadline, and although he appeared in only 27 contests before Chicago shipped him off to the New York Knicks in the Derrick Rose trade, it appears he made a lasting impression with the franchise.
Holiday is coming off his best campaign yet, averaging 7.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in all 82 games for the Knicks. In addition to the Bulls, his production at both ends of the court earned him interest from the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Knicks (who didn't make him a competitive offer, however, according to ESPN's Ian Begley).
Barring another move, the 2015 NBA champ will share two-guard duties with Dwyane Wade, Zach LaVine, Cameron Payne, and Denzel Valentine.
