Philadelphia 76ers: 5 possible offseason trade targets for the Sixers
By Pete Sawan
Reggie Bullock (guard) New York Knicks
First, we have a potential steal in guard Reggie Bullock. He makes around $4 million a year, and could be moved at the right price, as the New York Knicks are not necessarily looking to compete at the moment. Simply put, it doesn’t seem like Bullock will be with the Knicks past next season, anyway.

Because of each player’s relatively cheap contracts, a deal for either Smith Jr. or Bullock could be done. Now, of the two players, Bullock would be the easiest for the Knicks to part ways with, because of his age and the depth that New York has at his position. But, don’t count Dennis Smith Jr. out as a target, as well.
Over his career, Bullock has been a solid 3-point shooter at 38.5 percent. But, he is having a down year at 33.3 percent from three, so that could bring his value down a bit in New York.
As it currently stands, the New York Knicks have a bevy of players at the wing, including Kevin Knox, Damyean Dotson, Wayne Ellington, and RJ Barrett. On top of that, the Knicks will likely end up with a top pick in this year’s guard-heavy NBA Draft. As such, Bullock could see himself falling out of the rotation, and end up becoming the odd man out.
So, what would the price tag be? Well, it could come down to whether or not the Knicks would be interested in a second-round pick and a role player. That package could come down to a lot of things, but ideally, the Philadelphia 76ers would give up either Mike Scott or Zhaire Smith plus a second-round pick or two in exchange for Bullock.
If the Knicks are truly in a rebuild mode, the would take this deal in the hopes of using that roster spot on a young, potential-ridden player. The 76ers would be getting a guy would can stretch the floor at an above-average rate.
