Forget the poll - Jazz just DID sign Raja Bell

I like the move. He is a way better bargain for the Jazz. But there is no way he can play 35 minutes like Matthews. We better be signing somebody with some lateral quickness because Bell has lost a step.

I don't look at it like Bell is replacing Wes, I look at it like CJ is replacing Wes and Bell will be replacing CJ (off bench). Atleast that's how I think KOC sees it. Given Hayward's inexperience and the injury history of AK and Bell, I would love to sign another wing (such as Brewer) but looking at salaries I don't think we'll be adding another wing until after training camp, likely for the minimum.

Ugh, I really don't like this move that much. There could of been better options out there than him. Why in the world did we sign him for 3 years?
 
I don't know if the Jazz know what they're doing, but they think they do... they are acting swiftly here. Two moves in 3 days.

It must make him feel so nice, after Kobe meeting with him, to tell the Lakers. "No, I'll be playing with Jerry Sloan next season."

I like it purely for the "**** you Lakers" factor, more than anything.

Same, I dont like getting Raja Bell, I just like Kobe not getting something he wanted.
 
Also, bring Ronnie B back for the rest of the MLE and call it an offseason. Seriously, Deron has got to be as excited as I am right now.
 
I think the Jazz needed some piss and vinegar on the team and Raja provides that. 3 years is scary, but its better than giving Mathews 20+ million in that 3 year span.

Look at it like a Harpring deal. We get 2 years out of him then we can trade him in the third year to a team trying to shed cap space. (shrug)
 
Hey tatermoog! Welcome back, Sir. But I think you're wrong about Bell. Assuming his wrist is okay, his attitude alone is worth the 10 million. I really wanted Matthews back, but if that wasn't going to happen I was hoping, at best, for Brewer (my dreams might still come true, there). I'm pretty stoked about the upcoming season.
 
3 for 10 isn't really bad.

Hopefully the third year is a team option.

Even then, 3.33 million (I'd bet it's an even contract) is by no means financially crippling.

I have a feeling AK is going to be traded for scraps with so much salary coming in.

Bell: Has lost some of his lateral quickness and he is 34
Hayward: Does not have the lateral quickness or strength to guard 2 guards.
AK: Never had Lateral quickness
Miles: We tried to use him at the 2 guard on defense. But guys just blow past him.

We better not be done at the SG position.

Sign brown we need some athleticism!

Based on what? The fact that he is white? Kirk Hinrich is one of the best defenders in the league.
