The Chicago Bulls acquire C.J. Watson from the Warriors
The Bulls have acquired 26-year old point guard C.J. Watson in a sign and trade deal with the Warriors. The Warriors signed Watson to a 3-year, $10.2 million dollar deal and then they sent him to the Bulls for a future second round pick. Watson played in 65 games (15 starts) for the Warriors last season and he averaged 27.5 minutes, 10.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Watson has now played in 174 games (33 starts) in his three years in the NBA in which he has averaged 23.2 minutes, 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. This was a outstanding move as Watson will back up Derrick Rose at the point and Ronnie Brewer at shooting guard. Whenever you can get a solid player for a second round pick you have to make that deal and that’s exactly what the Bulls have done.
