The Bell Situation

Is it coincidence that the Jazz are playing their best ball now?

Also, did you know that March 23 was the Waiver deadline for Playoff eligibility? So if a player was waived by the 23rd he could join another team for the playoffs. I bet KOC knew this. Does anyone want to play the Lakers and Raja in the second round?

Be patient and see how this plays out.

I don't see why KOC would care if Bell joined a contender or not.... I don't see him helping anyone, and I doubt there would be much interest. Remember--the Clips chose NICK ****ING YOUNG over Raja as their bandage two guard.

NICK ****ING YOUNG.
 
I was going to point out that Raja has motivation to show discipline in the situation in order to maximize his future contract value, but the dude is like 100 yrs old and this may be his last contract. I guess there is a slim chance he could get another.
 
Maybe he's ready, maybe he's not. Maybe Corbin is pissed at him, maybe not. Maybe CJ can start with regularity, maybe not.

I love this about you Brown Notes, you just never dither around with your opinion. You just come right out and say it. LOL
 
This is the best news I have heard in a long time. I hope this continues to be the case and they leave him inactive. I don't care if he is injured or not. He is the worst player on our roster and should be inactive because of it.
 
We're 5-0 without him. And it's a good thing he didn't play against the Lakers, when Kobe himself had a horrible game, because we would have heard Raja lauded for his defensive prowess and had it reaffirmed "how important" Raja is for setting the defensive tone and example for this young team.
 
Jazz management have no one to blame but themselves. The market could not have possibly demanded a 3 year deal for Bell; but they gave it to him anyway. I imagine they'll be able to unload him in the offseason; but for now they're stuck with him.
 
They could amnesty him?
 
As everyone knows, we have a glut at SG with the faster-than-expected development of Burks. Bell is very competitive so of course wants to play, but he'd be a fool to complain publicly while his team is on a winning streak. He has in fact at times helped the team, both on the court and off. His veteran leadership can still be of value down the road, so I agree with the Jazz keeping him. Injuries can happen to anyone at any time. I do NOT think Bell will be a distraction; he is a professional, allbeit a very competitive one...

Great point. Yikes, that would have been annoying.
 
I think the Jazz are going to deal with Raja in the off season. Either they are going to trade him or cut him. I doubt they buy him out unless he is willing to give back some money. I don't see that happening. The reality is Burks is a better player and the coaching staff finally knows it. I agree Carroll has played well enough to give Burks or CJ a rest. I like the rotation of Burks/CJ/Hayward/Carroll. It will be interesting what Ty does with the Tinsley/Watson situation at PG. I prefer Tinsley but I still like Watson. I guess it is a nice problem to have.

Just one other thing, is it me or are you guys still surprised that teams cannot stop the Watson to Evans dunk fest. He got two more dunks?
