CHICAGO _ The Bulls began what they hope is a busy trade season a month ahead of the Feb. 7 deadline when they acquired shooting guards MarShon Brooks and Wayne Selden Jr., plus second-round picks in 2019 and 2020 from the Grizzlies for Justin Holiday.
The Bulls need to waive one player and are still shopping Jabari Parker and Robin Lopez in the hopes to acquire future draft picks. But the Holiday deal is a start.
In his second tour with the Bulls, Holiday has started all 38 games and is averaging 11.6 points. He recently set a franchise record by sinking at least one 3-pointer in 43 straight games.
With Holiday headed to Memphis, rookie Chandler Hutchison will see an increased role.
Brooks, a late first-round pick by the Celtics in 2011, is averaging 6.6 points in 29 games. Selden has averaged 5.4 points in 32 games. Both are 6-foot-5 shooting guards.
