Bullock played a limited role for Houston, but he has been an extremely reliable role player over the course of his career.

He has also spent time with the Detroit Pistons, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns.

His career averages are 7.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting 42.4% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range in 556 regular season games.

Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today reported that the Nuggets will lose Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the Orladno Magic (via free gency).

He will be hard to replace, but a player such as Bullock would be able to add depth and shooting.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope leaving the Denver Nuggets and headed to the Orlando Magic on a three-year deal, I’m told.
