FA: Reggie Bullock to DAL for 3 yrs/$30.5M (using MLE)

I wasn´t too happy about Bullock either, but that´s because those are the kind of icing on the cake signings and we didn´t have a cake for a decade.

Lauri Markkanen would have been helpful out there against the Warriors. Now that Porzingis is gone, he´d be the instant starter. That´s before we even mention Hartenstein or now likely watch Thomas Bryant leave Washington as a free agent, so we couldn´t ask for him in the Porzingis trade?

Don't really get the Lauri love.  He was restricted and would have cost assets in addition to his salary.  Not sure how he fits defensively?  Not interested in playing him at center (not much of a rebounder or rim protector) and this defense is predicated on two plus defensive wings to go with two defensive minus playmakers.  I'm not sure where Lauri fits in there?
