I don't know why we want another trade exception.
It must be just to get rid of him.

Raja to Clippers?

- Start date
Now we just need some drinks...anyone...?
From the quotes I have seen out of KOC, he mostly mentions trying to improve the team. I don't think the Jazz are interested in completely giving away players.

Unless those players are sucky malcontents.
Thus, Raja for nothing. Addition by subtraction.

This, which is why the trade exception trade is a bit confusing. Bell for Bledsoe honestly makes sense to me. Do the Clippers really need him as their 3rd string PG? I mean come on. Besides, isn't Chauncey good to play come playoff time? Thats 4PGs on one roster, and they have exclaimed the need for a defensive SG (if I am not mistaken). Give us Bledsoe!!!
Yeah, Raja Bell, that guy who was on fire from beyond the arc before his injury. He is so bad. I mean, only terrible players ever have slumps.
I would not mind trading Raja, but I don't consider his subtraction (for free) an addition to the team.

Same. I don't want a trade exemption, I think we can definitely get more.

Doesn't sound like anything is happening this morning. I kind of wonder if KOC would wait till the last minute tomorrow?

Being "on fire" from beyond the arc for the Jazz is like being King Crap of Turdtown.
But I think the emphasis should be more on his discontent than his (dissolving) skills. If he's being an *** in the locker room then there is no reason to keep his around.

Won't the players just go on with business as usual until a deal is done though?

Who used it? They got the Eric Gordon trade exception during the trade. They haven't used it yet.

I know but theres a discussion going on throughout the thread where people think that the TPE is endlessly traded around
If the Jazz make that trade, it's not to acquire a TPE. It's just to be rid of that piece of ****. That the Jazz would get a $3.24 million TPE is nothing but gravy, especially since they save the remaining salary owed to Bell (roughly $4.7 million).
We already resolved that,
You think the Jazz can reasonably expect to get more than saving $5 million and maybe getting a late 2nd rounder for a player that is only a competent offensive player in streaks, can't defend anyone with a first-step no matter how hard he tries, and has been in the headlines for being a mutineer?
Not sure what planet you're on if you think the Jazz can reasonably expect more than that.
