His poor play on both ends of the floor last season doesn’t justify even $5.5 million in spending, but this decision is really more about Cuban and Nico’s commitment to invest in the roster. Bullock’s value is really as a decent sized expiring contract now to bring back some productive long term salary. Hopefully, the Mavs can turn it into something good at mid season. If the Mavs had anything cooking with Reggie’s contract this off-season, it seems a team looking to cut spending would have made a deal in time to save an additional $5 million.
I am fine if he is back this year. I just don't want him starting. But, this will be his last year here. He may be traded in the next few weeks, at the deadline or leave as a FA next year. My hope is that either him or Hardaway with a future first is the move we make at the trade deadline. I am not sure they will find a deal with a future first and either now, I don't think.
