It must make him feel so nice, after Kobe meeting with him, to tell the Lakers. "No, I'll be playing with Jerry Sloan next season."
I like it purely for the "**** you Lakers" than anything.
Well, I'm starting to like the roster now. He's better than most, I guess. If nothing else, a good vet.
Three years/$10 million, would have preferred Ronnie Brewer.
I'm not convinced that, at 34, Bell is a better defender than a still-developing Matthews.Better defended/longer than matthews for 1/3rd the price. I like this.
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!!
No idea of the yearly salaries yet, but if you assume a $3 mil first year salary we would be about $3.7 over for 9 players. If you add in Fes and Gaines' cap holds and 473k for Evans, that would put us a shade over $6 million above the lux-tax, again assuming Bell's contract starts at $3 million.Whats our salary at now? We must be a few million over.
