He can sign with a team, but he can't play in the playoffs. Right after that deadline passed Raja was still hoping to sign with a team even through the end of the regular season.

Bell hosed himself. The jazz tried to negotiate a buyout of his contract, and throughout the year, but Bell refused every offer till the jazz finally said screw you, and cut him, if if the rumors are true.
Lol... Bell did this to himself.

It is strange a player with his length and athleticism wasn't taken earlier. Going by his college numbers, he didn't improve much from his 2nd to 3rd year in college. His three point percentage specifically took a dive down to 30% which may have scared off GMs. A SG without a 3 point shot isn't a very attractive prospect. He hasn't played much since college up until this year in D league so there is still a lot of unknown and potential it would seem. He is still very young, will turn 23 later this month, the same age Matthews was when he was signed by the Jazz. It is a very low risk, high reward signing, KOC does it again!

Didn't he have a good showing with the Clippers his rookie year?

Not really.
Ironically enough, his only game played in the NBA that had him getting over 10 minutes was against the Jazz when we blew them out last year.
He can still sign with any team but is ineligible to play in the playoffs.

Does this mean Leslie will be ineligible for the playoffs as well? Not that it matters, I suppose. He is unlikely to be an instant impact player.
This signing is for practice situations and perhaps to lock him up for next year.

Remember Miki Moore? He signed after the deadline but was still qualified to play for the Jazz had they made the playoffs. I think the same thing applies to this guy seeing as he hasn't played a regular season game for an NBA team this year. I would appreciate confirmation on this though.
