The post I quoted is definitely advocating using him as a rotation piece. I really don't think Bullock's 5.4 million guaranteed in year 3 is that much of an albatross anyway. Maybe if he was guaranteed a full 4 years. His contract is solid if he can get back to anywhere near where he was before he came here. As bad as he's been, if you decided you really want to give up on him already, then I guarantee you could convince another team that this year is an outlier and get some value back.
Plus the difference between his and Kemba's contract is like 1 million per year this year and next and then the 5.4 mil in year 3. That's basically nothing. Definitely not something that's going to kick start a rebuild.
