Do we know they got in an argument? I have seen that on here but assumed it was also speculation.
Raja will not be with the team tonight... Is he being traded??

Per Brian T Smith of the tribune:
Confrontation between Bell and Corbin — who've long had on-off relationship — appears to be at heart of "internal matter" that kept
Bell out vs. Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Bell was with Jazz late Friday after loss to Philly, then suddenly left team.
Jazz GM O'Connor said he wants to meet privately with Bell and Corbin to assess situation before moving forward. O'Connor spoke calmly ...
"I want to sit down with Raja and have a meeting with coach and Raja first," O'Connor said.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I would rep you but apparently I have done that already recently.

Obviously Raja was still upset Ty let Al and Big Turkey eat all the fried chicken in Charlotte.
Seriously, the apparent leadership void continues. This situation needs to be rectified asap - and if Raja's not going to provide a positive veteran presence, ship him out immediately or send him home permeantly.

This pretty much came out of no where. I would assume that our team morale was much lower at other points in the season.
Regardless, Id LOVE a late first rounder for Raja. Anyone know which teams could use a player like Raja for a playoff run?

Please trade Raja, Howard and Miles for anything and everything.

In Raja's word, maybe its because he's tired of the Jazz doing stupid **** all the time.
Dont think there is any insane GM enough to give us a 1st rounder.

I can see a team like the Clips, Chicago, or the Lakers wanting a player like Raja on their team, for a playoff push. As the Clippers GM, if you're in the "win-now" mentality, then you'll trade a 26th pick for a veteran 3pointer/defensive specialist anyway, if you think that it gives you a better hence at winning the playoffs. At least, in my opinion. Same goes for Josh Howard. Id love to see the Jazz trade both players to contending teams, and get picks/youth in return..

Raja is not being a veteran leader, he's still trying to be a go to guy on the team complaining about his minutes and his 'role' on the team. He thinks he's a leader, but he is not.
I will not shed a tear if he is traded away. That's not to say that I don't like him, but his current attitude doesn't fit the role he's supposed to be playing, and because of his bad attitude, his ability to teach Burks the ropes is diminished.
