Forget the poll - Jazz just DID sign Raja Bell

[cooldude32]

Look at it like a Harpring deal. We get 2 years out of him then we can trade him in the third year to a team trying to shed cap space. (shrug)

Good point but couldn't they just do 2 years?

Kinda surprised it's 3 years. But year 3 at 5 (at absolute worst) is hardly a killer. I said this in another post, but I think Bell's injury year is a plus for him. Injury to his wrist is not something that will affect his mobility, and a year off for a player his age can only help. The downside with Bell is no upside, but he's a good player with no issues and very serviceable.

Another re-signing of an overrated former Jazz player who is a lot older. Jazz must lead the league in re-signing former players or players who they passed over in the draft. 3 years is too long. I hope the third year is a team option. This choice takes a little of the joy of signing AJ. I am sorry to see Wes go.

Doubtful, why would he sign with the Jazz for 3 year 10 million if the 3rd year was a team option, when he could of signed a 2 year deal worth 8 million with the Bulls?

This is ShaggyReAL and I approve of this signing.

Based on what? The fact that he is white? Kirk Hinrich is one of the best defenders in the league.

Honz, I'd bet you'd be a scrappy mother ****er in a street brawl.

I like your style.

OK; is Raja replacing Matthews or Korver? If Matthews is gone, we still need another SG.
At Bells's age, I'm not sure how many minutes he can play over the course of an 82 game season, plus playoffs...
I'm greedy; I want Raja AND Wes Matthews; they'd be a great duo defensively!!

Bell replaces Matthews, Hayward replaces Korver

Sweet, all we need now is Vinyl's approval to have all of the douches of the board on board.

Bell replaces Matthews, Hayward replaces Korver

Brewer replaces AK? Brown replaces Jeffers?

Also, bring Ronnie B back for the rest of the MLE and call it an offseason. Seriously, Deron has got to be as excited as I am right now.

To hell with that. Bring in Brown and tell Brewer to go fly a kite.

Augustine replaces Boom bitches.

Here's a good bio of Raja. Interesting; says he's been a vegetarian since childhood.
And they are fast at Wikipedia; he's already listed with the Jazz!!
