Official: Lakers trade Svi and 2021 second to DET for Bullock

Just chiming in:

Bullock struggled with a lot of injuries his first few years in the league and never really found a rotation spot. He was a throw in in the trade for Marcus Morris from Phoenix, and he really established himself in Detroit in the last couple of years, even starting fairly regularly. He's not a star, but he has an elite shot, decent physical profile, and is a good person.

He's infinitely more reliable than KCP. Klutch or not, keep Reggie and let KCP wander off elsewhere.

Reggie Bullock can shoot but he's not a complete basketball player. Not really much to his game than hitting wide-open threes (low release set shot). He can't make plays, he's not a great defender, he's not active, he won't help on boards. He's like Jodie Meeks and Wayne Ellington. You can't play him too much or he will start hurting you.

Based on the few games he's been here Bullock is not anyone you keep if you're serious about contending.... at least not as a rotational player.

Our problems in evaluating players is that our perspective is from the viewpoint of a team that's not been close to good over the last several years. Even our top young guys are much better in our eyes than they are compared to true contending teams. It's the homer lens and it's pretty myopic.
