Although just for thoughts, a Covington for Bullock trade is interesting. Covington is more of a power forward and he and Maxi can share those minutes. Bullock is more of wing defender. Question is does Bullock provide any value for Portland??
One step further, what happened if you could then move Hardaway to a team, Toronto gets something from that X team, and Dallas gets Dragic.
Does Dragic plus Covington improve this team if they replaced Bullock and Hardaway?
That would be best case scenario for me. I think that is both a better team and a better cap managed team. Then in the offseason we could sign Brunson and DFS and possibly squeeze in Covington and Dragic under the tax if we can get them on reasonable deals. If they both walk then we could sign an MLE and stay under the tax.
Bullock makes plenty of sense for Portland. They don't have anything resembling a point of attack defender. They also get him for 2 and a half more years as opposed to the rental Covington who they may be concerned about keeping.
