AUGUST 6: The Mavericks have officially signed Bullock, the team announced in a press release. There had been whispers that the Knicks and Mavs might explore a sign-and-trade arrangement, but Dallas ended up signing the veteran wing outright.
AUGUST 2: The Mavericks and free agent swingman Reggie Bullock have agree to a deal, sources tell Tim MacMahon of ESPN (Twitter link). Marc Stein (Twitter link) first reported that the two sides were nearing an agreement, while Jordan Schultz of ESPN (Twitter link) says it’ll be a three-year contract.
Agent David Bauman tells Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link) that Bullock’s three-year deal with Dallas will be worth $30.5MM. Based on that value, it sounds like the Mavs will give Bullock their full mid-level exception if they operate over the cap.
The Mavs appear to be prioritizing adding shooting around star Luka Doncic, and Bullock certainly fits that bill. The 30-year-old is a career 39.2% shooter from beyond the arc and knocked down 41.0% of his three-point attempts for the Knicks this past season.
After an injury-plagued 2019/20 campaign, the former UNC standout bounced back with one of the best years of his career, averaging 10.9 PPG and 3.4 RPG while starting 64 games and averaging 30.0 minutes a night for the East’s No. 4 seed.
Dallas has been busy on the first day of free agency, having also agreed to terms with Tim Hardaway Jr., Boban Marjanovic, and Sterling Brown.
I like it. Keep adding good role players, unless you can get Derozan. He would be a huge get.
Knicks should of kept Bullock over Burks.
Burks got 3 year $30m
Bullock is more expensive than Bucks and Noel
Need a calculator lol.
I agree with Grimes on board. But it could be a PG could be coming later. And Burkes can play the point. You can’t sign all three to 10 mill each. And Fournier was a must. So Reggie won’t play as much.
I feel like if you were signing Fournier, Burks is probably the guy that goes in that scenario. I feel like they arguably needed another 3 and D guy at the 3/2, in addition to keeping Bullock, and I feel like they kind of have a lot of guys that need the ball in their hands now. I consider Burks more of a combo guard than a wing. The other idea would be keeping Burks and Bullock and using the money they used on Fournier on another, lower cost shooter at the 2, and grabbing a wing option in addition to Bullock
You are right. Knicks should have signed Bullock
Bullocks gets the same money
My prediction on Bullock
3 year $42 million
32 still way too much
How can the Mavs afford both THJ and Bullock without unloading KP.
They can go over to sign THJ and they are only paying Bullock $10 M a year
Man every time I see sillivan’s post I wish I could be a fly on the wall as he types. I think he is trolling us all at this point.
Another big get for them for what they needed. Got Sterling Brown in a steal, and Bullock essentially at or slightly less than his value. Kept Hardaway as a secondary playmaker/scorer, who can play with Luka as a shooter as well. I expect the young guys in Josh Green and Tyler Bey to get more opportunities too. If they can grab a 4 that can defend, and a backup guard that can guard the guard spot, they’ll be set
I’m sorry but Bullock isn’t worth 10 mil a year. The Mavs have the same team and resigning Hardaway Jr then getting bullock with 2 small moves isn’t going to move the needle. It’s the same thing in free agency and I’m tired of it. Mark Cuban should be ashamed of himself. Holmes was available for a little more then $55 m and it doesn’t seem like the Mavs even tried. Now our final go to move is Dragic? This is a joke. Luka should leave.
Wow Bullock averaged 30 points a game last year? How did I miss that?
