Regarding Bullock, what are your thoughts of next year with DFS and Bullock being both on the roster? It is my opinion, one of them will be gone. Right now, DFS is not looking like a 10 million a year player, but if I had to guess he picks up his game and next offseason will be looking at a 8-10 million dollar deal.
I just don't know if it is smart to tie yourselves to 20 million for two guys who still lack one of the main skills we need. Both are good players and both bring different benefits. Bullock is a guy the new leadership brought in, so he may have the advantage.
It would suck to lose DFS for nothing, but I don't know if I can justify carrying both next year. I think you may be able to use Green (hopefully), Eugene or maybe a rookie to play 15-20 minutes. Thoughts?
So, I’ll apologize in advance for copping out on this and saying I need to see more. If Powell weren’t everyone’s favorite punching bag, it might be Finney. He’s playing like crap. I suspect they will figure something out before long, but we can’t know until we see it. Two years ago this lineup was killing it. Now it is getting killed. It makes little sense. The only real change is the coach.
I tend to agree with your $ range. The problem is we really don’t have someone else who can play 3/4 and we definitely have a need there that I don’t think Bullock can fill. Everyone is looking for that guy, so absent some big trade my leaning is to keep both. I would not hesitate to put DFS in a deal nor would I hesitate to spend $8-$10mm on him (unless this mess continues for 82 games).
