Free agent guard Justin Holiday has agreed to a two-year, $9 million deal with the Chicago Bulls, league sources tell The Vertical.

I'm kinda shocked we didn't offer him the same contract to play with Jrue.

I can live with asik's contract if he was used like with monty. 20 minutes, nothing more, and does well those minutes.

Issue is, it was a complete waste of money on the go's part because we have a coach who doesn't use him.

I think I'm more frustrated with ajinca's contract in all honesty. I can argue asik earned his contracts. I can't say the same of ajinca.

That's a solid deal for Justin.

So, we're gonna have an often injured point guard with an often hurt all NBA power forward and a temperamental Center surrounded by a bunch of scrubs? Head Coach hasn't proven much either. Man, I'm pumped!

I'm willing to bet he wasn't made available to the Pels for that price. Their team up was about shaking the Pels down.

That wouldn't make my statement any less true unfortunately. I've been cheering for the NO team since I found out they were moving here. I'm ready to see them be a success.

AD played 75 games and could have played more but they intentionally shut him down the last several. It's always been speculated that most of his injuries are the kind of things he'd play through if the games were important and that's what we saw last year.

Holiday's injury proneness is also grossly over estimated by people. The team stupidly went against doctors orders and turned a 1 year recovery into a 2 year recovery. Outside of that he's been solid including the last 2 years.

Suckers.
I find it rather irritating we've done nothing except resign Jrue. Hopefully that means we are trying to make a trade.

Exactly why I referred to AD as hurt and not injured.

that's not a bad deal for Mclemore. Guys have figured it out when they were older than he is

2/$9m is basically the BAE.

Clearly the rumor of us offering MLE was a bit overstated.

Irritating? It's been one day removed from agreeing to terms with our starting PG. Its not like Dell is sitting on his hands right now.

Yeah, Collison and Nick Young might be superior enough to the other options to prefer them, other than that waiting for the bargains is the play to make.

With the Grizzlies signing McLemore I wonder if that means they'll look to move Troy Daniels? They still have Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, and JaMychal Green out there. I'm not including Vince Carter since it's doubtful he'd go back.

Per 36 numbers on Muhammad: 18.3 pts/5.2 reb on 48.2% FG/ 33.8% 3pt/ 77.4% FT. Only 24 with time to improve. good size at 6'6 225 so he can play the 2/3 and i expect he could absolutely start next to Holiday and give us between 24-30 mins a game. Tim Hardaway Jr would be another great option but he's prob too expensive.

Meh. Shabazz is a career sub 33% 3pt shooter. 33.8% last season. We either need a guy that can run the offense, or a guy that can spread the floor while Jrue does it.

I know most will hate the idea, but Reesus can get past good defenders, distribute the ball, and has shot the 3 well the past two seasons. 38.8% in 25 games in 15/16, then 35.6% in 40 games last season. I know that he's not coming back, but I think he makes some sense.
