It was announced by The Athletic's Shams Charania that veteran wing Reggie Bullock has reached a contract buyout with the San Antonio Spurs, and will become a free agent. Bullock was a first round pick of the LA Clippers in 2013, as has spent time with the Detroit Pistons, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Phoenix Suns.

At age 32, Bullock is still a serviceable rotation player. Not the consistent double figure scorer he was during his years as a starter with the Detroit Pistons, Bullock is still a reliable three point shooter, having converted 38% of his shots from deep last season. A career 38.4% three point shooter, Bullock has served as a floor spacer on some solid teams, and could be an option for contenders looking to add some depth.

As part of the three-team trade that landed Grant Williams in Dallas, Bullock was sent to the Spurs earlier this offseason. Not aligning with San Antonio's current timeline, Bullock reached a buyout agreement, and will hit the open market. Not a major needle mover at this point in his career, Bullock could still help some good teams out there, and will likely look to sign with a team that has championship aspirations.

Having appeared in 27 career playoff games, Bullock does have some postseason experience, and will look to bring that to his whoever his new team ends up being.
