Bullock is certainly way more washed, DFS numbers looking somewhat ok, if paired with Green. THJ looks like a way better defender than Bullock. Bullock looks like a guy that closer to sink the defense than helping the team defense
I take THJ, Powell and Wood over Bullock on defense.
Green net rating with Bullock and without, and Green with DFS and without is pretty telling so far:
Green with DFS +9
Green without DFS +6
Green with Bullock +3.4
Green without Bullock +10.5
Luka + SD + Green only starting playing minutes together. They barely have before. Too early to look at those numbers.
- Luka + SD + Green played 60 min total with -3 net, but the defense is very good. The offensive numbers looking bad. Mainly because of Bullock
- Luka + SD + Green without Bullock is +9. With Bullock its -27, and the defense is a disaster, and the offense too
- Luka + SD + Green + THJ is +17 with good defense
- THJ looks like a way better defender than Bullock. Which is hilarious i guess
People wanna trade Tim, but it feels like he is the easiest plug into lineup guy from all the offensive players on the team. Doing the least harm on defense. At least judging by the first half of this year. The must trade guy is Bullock at all costs. Just addition by subtraction. Even if the team might not get better. Play Hardy/Frank instead of him, can't be any worse. Would nearly argue the Mavs might win more games atm if Frank would play instead of Bullock.
Bullock > SD > Tim would be my order that the Mavs should trade.
Good stuff, even if I’m not a fan of single game +/-.
While I enjoyed Green getting 32 minutes, I thought playing 18 straight to finish the game was a big much. It isn’t like he’s conserving himself out there.
I’m perfectly fine with trading Reggie. My interest in trading Tim is more about the second year of his remaining contract past this year. He does appear to be working harder on D than most (not exactly high praise though) and the space he creates helps Luka. But the variability from night to night is just maddening.
