He's an unrestricted free agent, and I would expect a guy like him (who has been on low salaries up to now) to simply go with the biggest offer and the biggest guaranteed money. We have his bird rights and he has a 5 million cap hold. It will be interesting to see what he gets


I don't see him going for much, honestly. Specially if he wants a long term deal. I could totally see a 25/5 kind of deal being the best he could get for a long term deal.

Maybe on a short term he could get like a 14/2? It'd take him getting insane exposure in our final run this season for him to top that IMO, even in this loaded offseason.


Not sure he will get that much. Even the 25/5 deal is questionable.

He is making $2.5M now. Slightly above the vet min contract level.

His Lakers stats are consistent with his career trends too. Plays about 30 mpg. Takes about 9 shots per. Seems to have his role in the League.

Like his game. Will be interesting to see if the FO chooses to keep him and if he will accept that same $2.5-3M ? Don't think he has shown much to exceed it IMO. Nice "familiar" role player.

Especially if the Lakers choose to trade away all the depth and need to fill the roster on the cheap. Perhaps they can convince KCP to accept about the same because he owes them for the last couple overly generous contracts. IMO both do the same thing with about the same impact.


I'm trying not to get my hopes up, because I'm getting dejavu. I felt the same way about Brook Lopez. Thought he'd get big offers and we'd have no chance of signing him, but he was a good fit with the team. Then he got lowballed and we still didn't make an attempt to keep him. Feel like the same might happen with Reggie.

I haven't given up on this FO overall, but they've really undervalued some assets.

Agree with your assessment. Some of these moves /non moves have been puzzling to say the least. Bullock seems like a no brainer if they can get the numbers to work.

Going to be interesting to see what the off-season moves will be. Already looking at replacing all the one year rentals. That is 6 of the top 11 players in the current rotation.

And if they choose to gut the team for another All-star the depth issues only get worse. All 4 remaining players have been discussed as on the block.

That is a lot of turnover. Continuity and chemistry suffers. Would they really attempt to start next season with 10 of the top 11 replaced? And more importantly expect it to all flawlessly come together to be true contenders.

Convincing rotation players like Bullock will be integral IMO. Will need Magic's best sales job ever if he can get quality depth for this team with a bargain basement budget.

He is our only player that I am confident can hit a wide open 3, all of our other players I expect to brick the shot.

Bullock's cap hold fits into the plan if we are pursuing a 7-9 year max player. We can sign him above the cap once we get the max FA.

I'm down, may as well spend money on quality players if we don't get a max, but then again we lost Brook and Randle for nothing.

I really hope that's the case next year. Enough with filling the roster with veterans on 1-year contracts.
Build a (bleep) TEAM for Christ's sake.

Never seen a guy play himself out of a bigger contract. 99% of his shots are wide freaking open.

It's like the pressure and attention a player gets when they come to LA gets to them and they forget how to shoot. He literally gets so many open corner 3s and it comes up short everytime smh

He really looks awful.

It makes me wonder what he would have looked like in a full season with the Lakers.

After-all, the media refrain continues to be that the Lakers lacked the necessary shooters to surround Lebron.

We get this guy, and he throws up rocks for a month.

He started good but has been awful of late. Curious if he has an injury of some sort. Sort of like Hart who hasn't been able to shoot since his knee injury.

It's a small sample size (13 games) but he hasn't shot this bad from 3 since his rookie year. Currently at 31%. Yikes.

Since the team quit I wouldn’t put too much stock into their performances. The SBL guys are obviously trying to show what they can do but everyone else is playing for nothing and going through the motions.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I like Bullock, hope he sticks around.

I agree but I still think guys on 1 year deals would be trying to play well to get themselves another decent contract.

You would certainly think so, but quitting is a rot that infects an entire team. It started with the vets who are all on 1 year deals.
