but back to Corbin's orginal point about Burks needing to sit behind Bell....
Now he's truly doing a lot of sitting. Is he learning from the master?

I would say he has learned to play defense from Raja. I didn't watch him in college, but I'm pretty he never applied on-ball pressure like that. Once again, I only want Bell to be play around 15 mpg, not calling for Burks to get DNP's.

i think about 12 mpg seems fair for bell. any more than that and i think he loses his legs a bit, unless hes amped up and put on the spot to guard a kobe type player. personally i think he is far more valuable on the bench teaching (minus his feuding with coaches) than on the floor for his patented flopping, 4 shots a game, and little else.
he seems to be a smart guy, and teaching the youth in practice seems like it would be much easier and more effective than trying to teach them by in game example at this point in his career.

I think you truly believe he is a good SG. You clearly said he was a good player multiple times.
And the arguments for the 5 players have been presented, you just wont accept them
1. Daquan Cook- He is only starting b/c Thabo is hurt and Harden is really the starting SG. With Cook starting, he is still getting only around 13 minutes a game
2. Marco Belinelli- Averages 11 points, 36% from 3 but attempts 4.2 three's a game. He can actually create his own shot too
3. Carlos Delfino- He is a SF. He is a lot more athletic, doubles Raja's averages in rebounds, assists and steals. He can also create offense as well, unlike Raja. Also, averages 36% from 3 but attempts 4.6 a game
4. Anthony Parker- I think these players are even, both are pretty bad. This is the only legit case you brought up
5. Wes Johnson- He is still very very young and is superiorly athletic. He sucks but would still take his potential and ability to outbreak any moment over Raja whose only impact on a game will be when he takes 1-2 three's a game
Raja Bell has had 10 double digit scoring games, Wes Johnson has had 7. Johnson has only missd one game all season, Bell has missed 10. They average within nearly the same MPG. Wes Johnson breakout potential is so much higher. He is just ripping at the seams with ability.
Daquan Cook is a starter. The point of this was to find 5 worse starters. He is a starter, get over it.
Delfino is the only person I listed that may be better than Bell.

He is not the starter when Thabo comes back. Harden is the true starter get over it

Who wouldn't Raja straight up for any of these guys?
No, the guy who starts is the true starter. Get over it.
Delfino is the only one I would consider.
Hell no to Bellinelli or Parker. No to Cook or Johnson.

I would take every one of these guys in a 1-1 deal
The grass is always greener.
Anthony Parker isn't a ****ty bitch, however, and can do a little bit more offensively than brick for most of two seasons.
Advantage: Parker, by a light year.
