I think now most in that group are hoping for sign and trade or will take one year deals. I agree that Bullock is a good player, but Id rather have Oubre at that price point, id rather have Jackson. I think Markannen or Schroder would be amazing gets for a low price. Any of these players can give you 20 off the bench. Bullock is a Deshawn Stevenson type, great glue guy, great shooter but not elite.
The thing is, I'm really glad we didn't go after Lauri, Oubre, or Schroeder earlier. At $12-$15M per year or more, all three are no-gos. At the MLE or less? Yes, please. Jackson, I would have offered fairly big money early, and you still can't get him for less than $11 mil or more. There's your playmaker.
