4 days after the Bulls decided to decline C.J. Watson’s $3.2 million option, D.Rose’s former back-up has found a new home with another Chicago native point-guard, Deron Williams in Brooklyn. Watson signed a 2-year (year 2 is a player option) veteran minimum deal with the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday after clearing waivers on Friday, according to Alex Kennedy of HOOPSWORLD. The former bench mob floor general confirmed via Twitter with an Instagram photo that simply said:”Hello Brooklyn!”. Congratulations and best of luck to C.J. Waaaaaaaatson!
