Dude is making almost twice what Khyri and Bruce are, and Svi was drafted after both those guys.

Hell, Svi is making $250k more than Elie Okobo who was the first pick in the 2nd round. Svi was taken 16 spots after Elie.


He came in and drained three after three after three. There is a video showing it took about 2 minutes to finally miss one.

So in this day and age, if a guy can hit the three, you think about giving him a chance.

They say the games hasn't slowed down for him yet, but when it does, Klay Thompson is who they talk about.

Short arms, Defense lacking. 6-8 and keeps moving like a sg should. Worth a flyer on. Contract not guaranteed.


No risk. And Bullock wasn't staying soooooo better something than nothing.


literally every NBA guard that can shoot even just decently can do this..that's why they're in the nba .

It was only this season. He has the same contract value amount as Thomas and Brown the next two years although his deal isn't guaranteed next season like the other two are. Then the team has an option for the third year while the contracts for Brown and Thomas aren't guaranteed.

Is Bullock a better 3&D guy than Hart or KCP?

You guys should get rid of Kennard while he has value, unfortunately (kinda thought this last year) he is looking like a pick that isn't really panning out.

That better explains it. Basically the same guaranteed money as the guys picked close to him, just structured differently.

In structuring it that way, LA was giving themselves the option to waive Svi and pick up an additional 1.5 mil in cap space this summer.

He’s not as strong of a defender as those two but a much more reliable high volume 3 point shooter

Hope a few other trades are lined up as well.
Need to move some of the deadweight.

Our core problem is that we make poor draft choices and develop talent badly. Good draft choices don’t depreciate in value like this.

The saddest thing is, I think Reggie B might have had the most trade value on our team considering he was a solid starter on a bargain contract. I thought a contending team would give up a late first for him in hopes of then resigning him this summer to be a rotation player.

Blake's contract, Dre's contract, and anyone else on our team might be worth less. Perhaps Blake's play and being healthy this season could propel him ahead, and perhaps Kennard still as more value given his potential even though Bullock is clearly better at the moment still.

We get pissed when someone leaves us and does much better (Dinwiddie, Middleton) then complain when we get a guy on a rookie deal that could potentially be a Joe Harris type of player.

Lakers fans didnt really like it either for them.

Im a laker fan and I'm happy for this trade, just sad to see Svi go...he should develop into a Bullock type, he just not comfortable yet and we needed shooters that can perform now. You guys developed Bullock into what he is today, I can see the same for Svi as well, his stroke is legit but he's been missing strong with his shot and that to me is a sign of nerves.

Did you think stanley johnson scoring 87 points in a pick up game was a big deal also?

Bullock went 1-5 in his Lakers debut and the team allowed a whopping 143 points, not that the latter is his fault.

That's some BAD defense. Had to check to make sure there weren't like 2 overtimes I missed in the box score.

Tobias is going to be really good and efficient as a third option in Philly he is going to get so many more good open looks. He should be an efficient 15 to 20 almost every night.

The Sixers starting unit could be absurd if they can retain Butler and Harris. Butlers offensive fit is dubious but they can make it work well enough.

Philly really going to pay four players 120M? I mean Simmons is up after next season and will get a max offer sheet.

Moved to bench and keeps struggling.

24x3 should be enough to have him back.

Probably not even that much to come back here where he's comfortable.

really weird to think someone will sign immediately back to the team that traded him.

he'll be fine but just like tolliver, fans loved to overrate RB. let's think bigger than signing Reggie back.
