January 7, 2019 Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Bulls will wave Carter-Williams due to his contact turning guaranteed at 5 PM.
The second-round pick is heavily protected and most think the Rockets will NOT actually get the pick in the end.
The 2nd-round pick the Bulls are sending the Rockets to help take MCW off their books for luxury tax relief is so heavily protected that it's unlikely to convey, a source said.
