The Chicago Bulls have sent small forward Justin Holiday to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for MarShon Brooks and fellow guard Wayne Selden plus 2019 and 2020 second-round draft picks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and the Chicago Tribune.

In mid-December, the Grizzlies thought they had a three-team deal in place that would have sent Brooks to the Phoenix Suns.
