What a putz!
Roger, Roger, Roger. I would say I expected more, but... I didn't.
Raja Bell is saying what 75% of Jazzfanz say. You surprised he has negative things to say about the Jazz when his last impression was playing for Ty Corbin?

They treated Raja real poorly in his last year here

there's negative impressions, and there's negative impressions that one feels compelled to air publicly, and there's negative impressions that one feels compelled to air publicly, even years later. Should I explain the differences to you? Or can you take it from here?

our access into how he was treated -- or, better, how he deserved to be treated by the institution -- is very limited. I can't think of another player who was treated the way Raja was. I do know that he sucked at basketball that year, and that an organization probably shouldn't let players force their way out by disparaging it.

I'll keep trying. We're on our 6th year, and you're not going anywhere, apparently.

Raja wanted to have it both ways. IIRC, his beef was that he wanted Utah to release him, but wouldn't accept any kind of buyout. He wanted his full salary from the Jazz PLUS the opportunity to then make money on top of that by signing a contract with another team. IINM, Utah would have released him for what they had paid to date, He said no so the Jazz held firm and made him just sit out until after the day he could sign and be active on a playoff roster. Miller was being an ******* but so was Raja.

What is it that the other teams do more professionally than the Jazz? Forgive my ignorance but I didn't get what Raja implied and the other guy laughed at. What's the inside joke here?
