Been preaching this for a couple years.

Selling role players to collect whatever future assets they can get isn´t going to change the ceiling of the team. The difference between THJ/Bullock types and Pinson/Frank isn´t the difference between a contender and a lottery team.

Here is what he said- Dorian Finney-Smith and Reggie Bullock, the old archetype, are still valuable NBA players. They’re not the players true title contenders are seeking anymore, though. Green, and his on-ball dynamism, is what the elite teams crave.
When the Mavs have guys like DFS, Bullock and Maxi on the floor (sometimes all at the same time) it just really makes this apparent. Maybe you can have one of these guys on the floor (sometimes two when Maxi is stroking it causing problems for big lumbering centers). Bullock is absolutely no threat when an open shot isn't there. He acts like the ball is a hot potato. Last night both Wright and Pinson were able to create and get into the lane in the first half and made things happen.
I keep waiting for Bullock to play better. Even if he does, with this team this year, he really seems like a very limited player that needs to play with guys who can all create. That is not this years Mavs.
