The Chicago Bulls have reached an agreement in principle to send former first-round draft pick Marquis Teague to the Brooklyn Nets for Toko Shengalia, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Nets also reached an agreement to send guard Tyshawn Taylor and cash to the New Orleans Pelicans for a conditional future draft pick, sources said.

Teague, the 29th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, had struggled to integrate himself into coach Tom Thibodeau’s system with the Bulls. Teague, a 6-foot-2 guard, has spent most of this season back and forth between the Bulls and the NBA D-League’s Iowa Energy. In 19 games with the Bulls this season, Teague averaged 2.4 points on 24.2 percent shooting in 12.7 minutes.

Shengalia has spent most of the past two seasons playing with the Springfield Armor of the D-League. In limited time with the Nets, the 6-9 forward averaged 1.5 points.

Taylor, like Shengalia a second-round pick in the 2012 draft, is best known for being the player whom Nets coach Jason Kidd asked to bump into him during a drink-spilling incident earlier this season. Taylor has averaged 3.9 points per game in 11.7 minutes with the Nets.

Teague has shown very little so far. He's looked lost the few times I've seen him on the court. The dude does have the physical tools, but he's not there yet. Maybe next year?

Meanwhile, the Pelicans are acquiring Tyshawn Taylor & cash from Brooklyn for a future pick, further pushing PG Pierre Jackson out of the picture:

I would love to add Pierre Jackson via reasonable trade or call up Lucas. A move like this for a young, quick up-and-coming PG could be just what the doctor ordered for us.
