Simple question. Kid still has some game in him...I mean, hell, Kobe is meeting with him today. If he's good enough for Kobe, he's good enough for the Jazz.

What say you?
 
Raja is something like 36 and coming off of wrist surgery, I believe. I would rather have cow bells and vuvuzelas.
 
Raja has two skills left:
1) Put out his arm and clothesline an opponent
2) Stand at the 3-pt line wavign his arms for the ball.

There was a time he was a decent defender. But that was a good step ago, and he's probably lost even more post-injury.

No thanks.
 
He'd be a welcome player with all the good feelings that were felt when he left. He'd also be a great locker room presence and spokesman for the team. I'm sure he'd give the Jazz first opportunity at signing him.
 
The primary advantage I can think of to getting Bell is the fact he'd probably sign a one year deal. KOC might not want to marry himself to the Brewers or Browns in 3/4 year deals. Bell then becomes the capable stopgap allowing for more flexibility going forward to get a better longterm fit. Ironically, I think last year's injury probably helps him. A year off for a guy his age is good for the body. It's not my favorite move, but I could live with it.

There's value in that. I wasn't thinking about a one year contract. I still wouldn't be fond of it, though.
 
That is what i have thought. See if he will take one year. He can still play defense and shoot. Let Hayward get some experience and with the one year deal it will give us mo money to spend next offseason.

Some times people forget. Also, never believe what you hear and only half of what you see.
 
We need a guy with the experience he has...the oldest player on our roster before signing him is Memo at 30. I love having a young team but a veteran presence certainly doesn't hurt.
 
If we sign Raja I'm going to take a baseball bat to Honzz head, I'll come over there, I will, I have the energy. Honz you dress like a whore.
