Soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets guard Marquis Teague shed a bit more light on the trade and his reactions to it to reporters before the Chicago Bulls played on Saturday night, with Teague active for Chicago:
Teague is warming up and may be active for Bulls, which is unusual. But trade only agreed to in principle and likely completed Tuesday.

Teague says the deal can't become official until Tuesday. He will dress out but Bulls won't want to risk injury and derail deal.
