The way they split the contract is if you give them longer years. I can see them wanting a 3 year guaranteed contract plus a player option on the 4th year. Also I am very sure they will have many suitors with much more to offer this offseason. We'd be lucky to keep one of them. I think Ellington would sign for 5-7m a year which is good. I'd rather sign Bullock to come off the bench and trade galloway and leuer for a starting small forward. We'd be tanked at the front court. That's when Gores needs to go into the luxury tax and go all in on the team. If it doesn't work out, change Jackson by the trade deadline. Above all else I'm waiting for the day Lakers are desperate and gift us Ball Ingram and Kuzma for Blake. The day will come...

Ellington will be 32 years old next season, so he for sure is a candidate to take a smaller amount per year on a four year deal or 3 year deal with a player option for the fourth season. Bullock is 28 (just turned 28 two weeks ago) but was just drafted in 2013 so he has less NBA wear and tear on him and he has a little more size. He might be better suited to take a two year deal or one year and one year player option type deal because he still could get a big NBA payday ($10+ million per season) but he faltered a bit this season after shooting the lights out last year so I think he might have less interest at good $ than people think.

I could see each of them taking deals at about half the MLE or slightly above half the MLE depending on contract length. Neither guys are jumping out as full MLE type guys/
