Rob Pelinka Calls Reggie Bullock ‘Key Piece’ In Giving LeBron James, Lakers ‘Best Chance’ To Make Deep Playoff Run

Following a 136-94 loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Los Angeles Lakers traded Svi Mykhailiuk and a 2021 second-round draft pick to the Detroit Pistons for Reggie Bullock.

As Mykhailiuk is still adjusting to the NBA’s three-point line (31.8 percent on 2.2 attempts per game) in his rookie season, Bullock has established himself as a consistent three-point shooter (39.8 percent on 3.2 attempts) through his six-year career.

While it was difficult to trade the No. 47 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft after just 39 appearances, the Lakers are looking to win now in Year 1 with LeBron James and the young core.
