Report: Knicks Reggie Bullock ‘drawing interest’ from Boston Celtics

Would the Knicks wing make sense in green and white?

Could the Boston Celtics have interest in signing New York Knicks wing Reggie Bullock? According to the New York Post’s Marc Berman, that seems to be the case. But, before we go out and buy ourselves some Bullock Celtics jerseys, it’s wise to dive a little deeper into what this means from Boston’s point of view.

The Celtics could use a bigger wing like the Kinston native and the 41% 3-point shooting he provided New York last season, but so could the Knicks, who have cap space to sign him to something larger than the $5.9 million mini mid-level exception Boston could offer him. Plenty of teams are interested in Bullock for what he brings to the table, and perhaps there is a small chance the Celtics have enough championship potential brewing that Bullock might want to get on board while the roster shapes up towards that goal.

Much more likely, the team reached out to his representation in case that might be how the Knicks wing sees things, with a New York return being far more likely given Madison Square Garden’s home team isn’t doing all that bad of late either.

It’s also possible this is coming from an agent, with the intention to get teams to re-sign players on Boston’s or New York’s side of the offer sheet, given the Knicks might have eyes for Evan Fournier.

Knicks gave a player a jersey with two different numbers on it and fans had so many jokes

Reggie Bullock’s jersey had two different numbers. This is absolutely perfect Knicks, and NBA fans had so many jokes.

Listen, it’s early in this NBA season and we’re all clearly getting the rust off. That appears true of the New York Knicks — well, either their equipment manager of jersey supplier (I’m not sure exactly who to pin this on) — who gave Reggie Bullock a jersey for their Saturday night game against the 76ers that had two separate numbers on it.

Bullock’s jersey, which was the Knicks’ special “City That Never Sleeps” alternate, was number 25 on the front and number 23 on the back, which instantly makes this a premium collector’s item, and also makes me curious how Bullock will officially be scored in this game. I think it has to be #25, because Mitchell Robinson is wearing #23 for the Knicks.

Or he wanted #24 and split the difference.

For the Knicks, who got roasted today in a new Pixar movie, it was their whole ethos all summed up neatly in a jersey, and fans had so many jokes about it:
