TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

Yeah. In this market, yeah. The guy averaged 39.3 minutes per game as a starter in a run to the Western Conference Finals last year while shooting 40% from three. If you could turn a 1st round pick into that kind of player, you do it. 

I get that he has had a rough go of things this year and has looked slow and lost at times. But his shooting has come around and his on-court impact is starting to even out as well.

If there is any chance you could net a first for Bulluck, you have to pull that trigger immediately.  I would be shocked if that was an option.  

At 30 nobody thought he was worth more than the MLE and I doubt the Mavs had a lot of competition to get him.  I don't remember a single person on this board suggesting him as an MLE target.  He had a nice late season and playoff run last year, but he has been nowhere near consistent enough in his career for teems to count on him repeating that performance.  Any value he may have accrued for that run has been marred by playing himself out of the starting lineup this year.
