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.
I think its fairly clear this team needed another 3&D player last season and particularly in the playoffs. When Luka played with three of them (DFS, Bullock and Maxi) in the playoffs he netted +7, and it dropped significantly with fewer 3&D on the court. The huge minutes all three played in the playoffs would be another strong indication. I would argue as long as Luka and Din are healthy, adding another 3&D (hopefully Green is truly stepping into that role) is more important than adding a negative defense playmaker.
Personally, the only way I trade Bullock is if its part of a bigger package for a two way player.
