It's been more than a week since Herb Rudoy, Bell's agent, was given permission from Utah to seek a buyout or a trade for Bell, who won’t stay with the Jazz. Bell, who played in high school in Miami and at college at Florida International, had told the Salt Lake Tribune the Heat interest him. For now, Bell remains on Utah’s roster until it’s determined what move will be made. Rudoy said he’s heard from six teams about interest in Bell, but wouldn’t name them.
Heat are getting a 2.9 million disabled player exception for Mike Miller, so maybe the Jazz can work out a deal sending Bell to the Heat for a trade-exception and/or a 2nd-round pick or cash. Anything for Bell is worth it at this point, a trade would save the Jazz some money because they wouldn't have to buyout Bell.
Lakers had interest in him last year when Kobe was recruiting him, but Bell decide to sign with the Jazz and a team like the Spurs might want him for a veteran off the bench and Bell has interest in the Celtics. Hopefully the Jazz can squeeze a 2nd-round pick and/or a trade-exception or another player in return I would be very happy.
