Roger Braille Buyout Problems (merged)

[Jazz Spazz]

They should make him wear a female bear costume and be Mrs Bear. Embarrass the heck out of him until he leaves on his own and doesn't ask for money. Make him go to every single Jr. Jazz event. Never play him a single minute, or dress him. Get him out there selling jerseys and/or popcorn, get him taking tickets at the door, get him a towel he can wave as he "cheers".

Whatever happens, do not allow him on the floor for any reason... well, maybe he can have a mop and clean up sweat on the floor.

This is hilarious. Bell is such a turd.

 

[Stoked]

Who the hell cares! It's not like he will see minutes. Just pray that no one in front of him gets injured

So no we have to watch injuries and Bell gets to take the spot of someone more deserving. Some one dying for their "big chance"? I bet that person cares and I care that Bell is still in a Jazz uni. That limp noodle.

 

[One Brow]

Even if Bell refuses to be bought out, he'll be waived. Chill out, people.

I never wanted Raja back but he is under contract so I don't understand why he should give up money. Isn't that the purpose of having a contract. I think it is called business.

My point is he burned his brige here, and after calling Corbin unprofessional, Coach shouldn't feel any obligation to play and give Bell minutes.

And if Bell causes problems in the locker room, can't the jazz just tell him to stay away from the team?

 

[colton]

At some point the Jazz could likely fine or suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team, but I don't know what point that is.

well in theory, yes... but he's the one saying he wants to be out of his contract and go somewhere else. or at least he's the first party to start saying so publicly. you can't go tell the media "i think it's obvious the relationship isn't working, i want out" and then hide behind the notion of "i've earned this guaranteed money."

Happens all the time. Teams buy out contracts and a ton of them used the amnesty clause. It's KOC and Greggy Boy holding to the company line that no one ever gets free money from them. I think everyone overestimated Raja's value. Even IF a team wants him, they're likely to only pay the absolute minimum (what is that, about $1.5M?). I believe Raja's contract this season is $3.5M. Unless/until a team actually puts a guaranteed offer in front of Raja, I don't blame him for rejecting a buyout for any amount less than full price. And I say that as a Raja-hater.

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.

That necessitates another team picking him up.

 

[homeytennis]

He's already caused problems in the locker room.
