Justin Holiday is currently in his second stint with the Chicago Bulls after resigning with the team in the summer of 2017. During the current season, the 29-year-old is playing a career-high 35.0 minutes per game, while averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. Holiday's rebounds, assists and point averages are all career-highs, although his individual performances have not been enough to influence the Bulls poor season.

The Chicago team is currently near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, with just 10 wins from their opening 36 games. Holiday is also in the final year of a two year, 9-million dollar contract that he signed in 2017, so the Bulls may be willing to trade one of their best performers away. If the Thunder can pick up the veteran in return for a player such as Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, it is a deal worth pursuing.
