Garrett Temple says goodbye to Nets fans: ‘I fell in love with the city’

Garrett Temple has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago Bulls after the Brooklyn Nets didn’t pick up his option.

Garrett Temple is onto his 10th NBA franchise as he enters his 11th season in the league.

With the Brooklyn Nets electing to decline Temple’s team option for the 2020-21 season, the wing became an unrestricted free agent — and it didn’t take long for him to find a new home.

Temple has agreed to a deal with the Bulls, confirming reports by greeting Chicago fans on Twitter.

But before Temple said hello to Bulls fans, he made sure to thank Nets fans for making him feel at home:

Thank you @BrooklynNets fans. A first-class organization and I fell in love with the city. A season I will never forget. I wish y’all nothing but the best going forward!!!

 

According to ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski, Temple agreed to sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Bulls on Friday after NBA free agency kicked off.

Temple is the third member of the Nets organization to find a new home since the league’s trade moratorium was lifted on Monday. Dzanan Musa and Jaylen Hands joined Detroit as part of the deal involving the Nets, Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers, which delivered Landry Shamet and Bruce Brown to Brooklyn.
