If we let our window to amnesty Raja pass so he could shop for a team of his choice, that was our leverage. Terms should have been set for that privilege, and Raja should have been accepting financial risk to avoid amnesty.

How would amnesty have hurt Bell? I thought the advantages of amnesty were that his salary wouldn't count against the cap and that if another team signed him that would reduce the amount we have to pay him.
 
there is actually zero suspense on this, guys. bell and the jazz have mutually decided there's no future to that marriage. when the exact transaction takes place and for how much money are fairly unimportant details.

he won't be in camp, he won't be on the roster when games start. that's all that really matters, whether they sign the papers tomorrow on october 30.

This is also how I see the situation. It is really in neither camps best interest to see this thing get ugly. Bell will get paid, and the jazz will move on. By all accounts the jazz moved on from him before the end of the season. The guy is not going to play for us again. Thank god.
 
So much for bell being a gentleman. I use to like the guy but now I hate him. He raja stuck you head between your legs and kiss your *** goodbye, because you're out of here.

Exactly. I'm sure the Jazz were avoiding amnesty so they could get a small trade exception for him. Now they have to probably buy him out for the full amount. If I were Raja, I'd hold out too. With no interest by other teams, you want the Jazz to pay you your full salary. It's like getting suspended with full pay.

Bell will NOT be back with the Jazz. That's a guarantee.
 
I can also see the jazz telling him to stay away from the team. He can sit at home and collect a pay check for all I care.
 
I can't wait for the jeers the next time Raja plays in Utah. I'm usually a respectful guy of ex Jazz players, but screw Raja.
