Roger Braille Buyout Problems (merged)

[nightmare3983]

@tribjazz: Veteran guard Raja Bell's buyout with #UtahJazz hasn't been finalized and there's a holdup in negotiations, league source tells @sltrib.

Get it done, Jazz! I take this to mean that nobody has much interest in Bell after all. So Bell is trying to squeeze as much money out of it as possible.

R.O.F.L.

Who wants to bet he could find exactly ZERO interest from another team and now wants to grab all the moolah he can from his last professional paycheck?

And the amnesty window is over too. Nuts

 

[Sneakers]

Lol. Identical threads at identical times with identical thoughts. Hoo rah

 

[JazzyD]

Why didn't we amnesty him? Wait, is it still possible?

Nope. That boat has sailed. It's either trade or buyout.

 

[Stoked]

Nope. That boat has sailed. It's either trade or buyout.

**** bell. I am really, really starting to dislike his ***.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I guess I don't blame him. But to all 'those' Bell supporters ... no names (Cy) .. damn you.

 

[carolinajazz]

......give Bell the money Klinko has promised to give back to the Jazz when he comes back to the States! Problem solved!

 

[billyshelby]

So what kind of verbal agreement did they have? An agreement to work it out later? It should have been: we let you shop yourself for agreeing to a buyout under your actual contract if you can't find anything (presumably his salary minus the vet min). Why was there even gray area on this?

 

[UGLI baby]

If we can't buy him out can we just get like, a restraining order or something?

 

[jacktheripper]

Send his *** to the D-league haha

 

[gregbroncs]

If Bell shows up to camp....God what a farce that would be. KOC, Get this loser out of here.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

If you were Raja what do you have to lose by holding out for the most you can get? Jazz really have no leverage here.

This is only true if there really is 0 interest in him. Because they can always make him inactive tell him to he is not going to play all season. I don't think that is what they should do. But it is an option.

Judging by other players out there that don't have a contract yet, I have a hard time believing that Bell has any interest. So he reall does have nothing to lose.

 

[spycam1]

This sucks bells.

 

[billyshelby]

If we let our window to amnesty Raja pass so he could shop for a team of his choice, that was our leverage. Terms should have been set for that privilege, and Raja should have been accepting financial risk to avoid amnesty.

Either way he is signing for the league minimum. Whether that happens in August or Oct/Nov doesn't matter right? It's still around 1M/yr

 

[Xsy]

Ugh. Worst news of the offseason.

 

[SojoDave]

Jazz still could amnesty his contract.

 

[franklin]

Anyone with me on buying this bitch a bright pink chair #13 and his own locker room yet? Humiliate this fogey.
