I am not sure if trading Bullock away is a good idea without a 3 + D replacement. You are back to the same problem as last season. Green doesn't make Bullock obsolete for now. Even if he dwarfs both DFS/Bullock.
I'd only agree with keeping Bullock if:
The Mavs add a decent playmaker and Green's improvement is just marginal compared to his current play.
I'd ship out Bullock if:
The Mavs only has Facu and Frankie, and Green improves to someone who outplays Bullock and/or DFS.
If Green gets to be head and shoulders above DFS, that's one heck of a 3andD guy.
Basically, the SF/3andD becomes a position of strength.
But if the Mavs don't add a playmaker, then Bullock turns from essential, to "nice-to-have".
Shore up the weak points instead of strengthening what's already solid.
