Raja Bell On Verge Of Buyout ...Wants to Join the C's , Heat or Lakers

He's lost a step for sure. No way would I target him over Lee or Pietrus. I'd rather we have them both for sure.

A portion of Raja Bell's 2011 scouting report from "NBA Post Up":

"Very weak outside defensively
Mediocre perimeter defender
Can not really play post defense
Weak guarding in transition
Little quickness"

"Raja Bell is not really an NBA level basketball player"

Yeah, but that same site says the same think about M. Pietrus:

Mickael Pietrus is not really an NBA level basketball player

well...dang...Good point...

As a last option I would look into him, but im hoping we wont have to scrap that deep of the bottom. I bet he will end up in Miami.

Bell is as good as done.  I do not want him here.

[Donoghus]

I'd pass.

He pretty much has a fork sticking out of his back at this point.

Wouldn't really want him anyways, but I don't see how he doesn't end up the Lakers. Good/Great preexisting relationship with Nash, and Kobe recruited him fairly hard the last time he was a free agent.

I thought Raja Bell was going to team up with Antione Walker, Mark Blount, Gary Payton and Vin Baker for Taco Bell.

"Ray Allen is a basketball player with some ability and can provide strong minutes off the bench."

Based on 2010-2011 stats. I rest my case on the "usefulness" of this "scouting report".

Yeah, that seems like a very high likelihood. Good deal for LA too. Not high on Bell but he darn sure is better than Andrew Goudelock.
