Bullock signed a mid-level exception deal for three years, $30.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I played against the Mavericks last year, I liked the way that they competed as a team,\u201d Bullock said. \u201cThey got great players, so it was an easy, no-brainer for me.

Bullock converted on 59 of 131 (45 percent) corner 3-point attempts last season and played in 65 of 72 games. Fournier played 42 games for Orlando and Boston.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks didn\u2019t need to use cap space to re-sign Bullock as they had his early Bird rights. According to a source, Bullock would have considered the Knicks had they agreed beforehand to a package, but they asked him to wait.
