I can see a team like the Clips, Chicago, or the Lakers wanting a player like Raja on their team, for a playoff push. As the Clippers GM, if you're in the "win-now" mentality, then you'll trade a 26th pick for a veteran 3pointer/defensive specialist anyway, if you think that it gives you a better hence at winning the playoffs. At least, in my opinion. Same goes for Josh Howard. Id love to see the Jazz trade both players to contending teams, and get picks/youth in return..

Raja is not being a veteran leader, he's still trying to be a go to guy on the team complaining about his minutes and his 'role' on the team. He thinks he's a leader, but he is not.
I will not shed a tear if he is traded away. That's not to say that I don't like him, but his current attitude doesn't fit the role he's supposed to be playing, and because of his bad attitude, his ability to teach Burks the ropes is diminished.

I think Raja is starting to see the writing on the wall and will ask for a trade when he meets with KOC and Ty. It is obvious he is not in the future plans of the Jazz and he can see that Burks is a player. Plus the Jazz aren't looking like a playoff team so, eventually, just like last year Ty was going to ask him to step down as a starter.
Let's ship bell out and get on with the season!!!

If Bell came to me, and I was the GM, asking for a trade, I'd respond, "any ideas?".
Made Raja post on this board?

I told you he was a cancer in the locker room. A fading vet crying for playing time get a new team your game is weak.
This is all that really needs to be said.

i heard there are many teams that intrested in signing Raja,howard and miles,but in the end; it all comes to the same question:what they gonna get in exchange for signing them
1280 AM this morning said that Raja was at practice this morning, but was moping. They said he got mad that Burks played instead of him in the 4th quarter against Philly and went home. They didn't say if he went home because he chose to or was told to. They said he has a meeting with KOC and Corbin before tonight's game and it is undetermined if he will be traded, suspended, or just fined. Also, they said Jefferson was not at practice and is doubtful for tonight's game due to a family issue. They said the expected starting lineup tonight is Harris, Hayward, Howard, Millsap, and Favors.

Bell is supposed to be the mature player here- to be a glue guy and a locker room guy. If it's true that he's displeased about playing time or something then that's particularly disappointing since he's not just here to shoot.
It can't be easy to watch your skills fade, but part of the reason he gets paid is to be professional.

Duhh. Everyone but Corbin can see reality here.
What? Didn't you see that thread about how awesome Corbin is because of the Jazz' record given all the difficulties?? :O

Are they speculating or is this being reported? Reports from Smith say he was sent home, not that he went home, so I'm skeptical of the first part of the bolded.
It was about 3 hours ago that I first heard those comments. Since then they have said that he was sent home after "heated conversations" with Corbin. They are not saying that the team has made any official announcement about playing time, but they are saying that is what happened. There are enough media members that follow the team to know stuff like that without any official team announcement. I'm working while I listen so I'm not exactly hearing every single word, but that is what they keep saying today.
