Also trades out young for old in the case of Bullock for Thybulle. I believe Morey would ask for a bit more actually and would be the reason it doesn’t happen.
If Thybulle satisfies the 3rd wing criteria, and Korkmaz gives us another ballhandler, that's fine, but the fact remains that the trade loses us our second wing, Bullock, who then needs to be replaced. In fact, it becomes acute enough that the Mavs couldn't possibly countenance entering the season without the replacement. Thybulle is a slight defensive upgrade on Bullock and a pretty cataclysmic offensive downgrade.
Bullock, to me, is the third name on the very short list of "completely untouchable to close to untouchable" players on the current roster. If you lose him, he has to be directly replaced, which makes including him in deals for non-stars rather silly.
