    Where do I even start with this guy? Thought he was supposed to provide our second unit with bench scoring? He plays decent defense, but other than that he basically doesn’t exist. His 1-3 missed shots a game do nothing for us and once again I often forget he’s out on the court except for that funny thing in his hair kind of stands out. He was supposed to replace KPJ’s scoring punch, but instead is averaging less than Nix did last year. He’s killing our bench and has shown nothing to indicate he’s a feared scorer. Time to unveil Cam or even give Nate Williams a shot.

    He was a vet min signing. He’s the last of the rockets issues. But idiot thread makes sense. You bittch about the wrong things daily

    you actually expected him to be some savior. He’s a vet signing for the locker room and eat some limited minutes. That’s it

    I have a hard time understanding this, the Mavs had Luka and Kyrie and he still looked pedestrian ......I am not too high on him.

    This looks like the annual Daniel Theis signing......

    He should not be taking minutes away from Amen or Cam.

    I'm not really sure what the point of him is either. I'd way rather give those minutes to pretty much anyone else.

    Anyone paying attention could have told you Bullock is completely washed. He should be injury insurance only. Jeff Green hasn’t looked bad but his metrics from last year look really rough as well. Once we replace these two with Tari and Landale our bench will look a bit more competent. If you can add a scorer through trade or if Whitmore breaks through then we will actually have plus depth.

    How about Reggie Bullshot…because it’s bull$&@“ that Cam has to sit and watch this guy who doesn’t have 1/10th his skill as a b-ball player.

    ...where would you ever get the impression that Bullock was brought in to provide scoring punch to replace KPJ? Like thats on YOU if you thought we brought Bullock in for anything more than another vet presence and situational big defender depth. He's just depth and another knowledgeable guy to help practices stay a little more competitive - and nothing more on this roster.

    He is wasting a valuable roster spot. Would rather have kept a young talent like that Earl guy. In fairness, it made sense giving Bullock a shot to see if he still actually had anything left in the tank. Extremely hard to see this guy at this point of his career ever again score 10 points in a game. Green is a “has been” as well, but at least you notice him out on the court and he contributes.

    Otherwise what you’re saying is he’s useless….

    Pure trash, Cam should have his minutes, he might have tunnel vision but at least he can actually put the ball in the hoop.

    I don't think he is useless - he is a smart defender and a guy who has range but is VERY streaky. I imagine there will be situational matchups where Ime would prefer Bullock as a small ball big out there against certain teams or in certain lineups along with Jabari as an alternative to Sengun or Landale and in the event one our bigs goes down, he is a serviceable rotation player. In the meanwhile he is a smart enough player to give lessons in practice to our young guys and I think part of why we signed him was a little bit of seeing if we could flip him later in the season to a contender looking for depth heading into the playoffs. He is the right kind of vet to bring in for the young guys but I don't think his on the court contribution is the focus of why he is here - he is just a specialty tool in the toolbox when we need it.

    He's taking up Boban's minutes. That's really unfair! :mad:

    Nothing in fairness, you cannot show that you have much left in your tank playing 12 minutes a game, this is just absurd business.

    You can give 12 minutes to any G League guy.

    I'm going to trust coach. He doesn't want to lose so there is a reason Reggie is getting PT over Cam. Quite possible as mentioned that the floor needs a mix of vets and n00bs so that we don't look so much like a rookie sh!tshow.
