Bullock Bust Watch

[mvossman]

Like Danny Green, his game can look really ugly when they go in shooting slumps.    Just by eye test, I think Green is probably a better defender but I could be off.  

The mistake the Mavs made was the Hardaway and Bullock was enough this offseason.    Put Bullock in a situation Green is in Philly and I think it is a much better fit.   As a fifth starter type who is a threat from three.    A lot of us have said, the Mavs had to increase their top talent this offseason and worry about the rest later.   Mavs keep on settling for guys on the fringes in FA.   I would be fine if we had a guy like Derozan who gets easy buckets and just have Bullock defend and shoot 6-7 threes per game.   Did we have enough money for Derozan, Bullock, Drummond?   None are perfect and may not be my cup of tea, but add those three to our team and things fit better imo.  

I am not giving up on Bullock, but until the Mavs fill in the holes of having another good creator and better center play, I think the results will be similar to what we have seen.  A guy who looks ok if he hits his shots, but one who provides nothing when his shot is off.

Danny Green is a much better player than Bullock.  Better shooter and much better defender.  There is a reason Bullock was on nobody's radar for the MLE.  There were so many better options.  There were rumors they tried on Batum and Green and at least looked at Noel.  Don't know if they looked at Caruso.  In my mind Theis would have made way more sense than Bullock and can't imagine he would not have chosen the Mavs over Houston, especially if we added a couple mil.  Just another disaster of an offseason.

We did not have enough money for Derozn, Bullock, Drummond.  We might have been able to squeeze Derozan and Theis.  If SA was willing to S&T KP for Derozan, we could have signed DeRozan, Holmes and THJ.  That would have been fun.
