Great concept.! I like it Can we sell it to Microsoft or Google for $55 million ? They buy everything so they don’t have any competition..

they should meet in the middle on a buyout. This would alleviate their locker room concerns and Bell would have the remainder of the year to play with a contender. Him refusing to negotiate appears he is in it for the money since its guaranteed for this year. Cant blame him for looking out for his financial interest but he appears to want to stick it to Jazz more than latch on with a contender.

I don’t give a squat about Bell, but a buyout should be for the contract amount, that’s just common sense.

You can’t hate on bell for what he’s doing (as a KOBE fan I didn’t like bell after he tossed Kobe to the ground when he was playin for PHX bt you GOT TO LOVE that kinda intense ball!!) but he’s worth as much as that contract says he’s worth, 3.48$ mill. It’s a business.

Reality is, nobody else wants Raja. Trust me, as poor as Raja’s game is at this point, the Jazz would LOVE the Lakers to pick him up. Honestly, if Raja actually had another offer on the table he would have accepted the min deal all day long. His career is over.

So let’s say your job is ending at the end of the year. your boss comes to you and says “we’ll letcha go now and give you a good reference and maybe you can get a better company during our industries hiring season, but we aren’t going to pay you your sick/vacation time”. Let’s say you’ve been working your tail off for many years and you’ve got a lot of it accrued to a level you might not ever build up again (in other words, nobody else is going to pay Bell to take vacation time) Further, let’s say you work in an industry you’re just about done in anyway, you’re super sick of it/skills not what they used to be. Like any of you would take a “minimum” buyout. Good for Raja Bell, way to work the system – and all he has to do, if he wants to keep playing, is get in really good shape, and at worse it’s a trip to the d-league or maybe china/europe, but regardless of what happens this season, someone will throw some cash at him next year after he’s had some time to spend with his family we all wish we had.

Listen to him cry about not playing starter minutes. He didn’t earn his money or minutes so he bashes the coach and downplays the potential of his teammates to boast his own ego and value. Classy individual! I understand contracts but it doesn’t mean he’s worth it or deserves it and the fact that no other team was willing to absorb his contract says a lot. Call me what you want but I live in SLC and he has definitely burned his bridges with SLC and NBA teams. He can fade away with his 3 mill for all I care but its clear he isn’t worth the money or he would have been some where else starting and earning his money.

Jazz signed him to the $3.48 million as part of the three-year, $10 million deal they gave him. Being that it’s a CONTRACT, he’s entitled to it. It’s his call to accept a buyout, which is why it’s called a buyout offer. Whether or not it’s “what he’s worth” is irrelevant and ultimately his worth is determined by what a team is willing to pay him…

Hows he wanting more than hes worth exactly u idiot. The jazz owe him the money on the contract. It would benefit both the jazz(save money off the rest of the duration of bells contract and hes not a problem anymore) and Bell(gets to finally play somewhere) if they both did a buyout. But why should he take a minimum buyout?? As some1 pointed out above the guy from the jazz said he didnt want him to go play for the lakers or another team. The jazz are being very childish about this and its obvious bearsandJazz cant look at this situation without being a homer.

Childish is how Bell has acted! You can see him crossing his arms saying “no I don’t want to”. He’s a cancer and doesn’t deserve to be on the court not to mention the money he’s getting paid to be another crybaby athlete. People want to give him props for standing his ground and that’s exactly what’s wrong with this world. People wanting more than what their worth.

hey, get cha money mang. can’t knock him. in the end, your future great grandson’s won’t really have a recollection of him if you know what i mean. so get your money, and test the market when you’re free. the jazz were playing hardball. and the VP of the jazz actually said he didn’t want to grant an easy buyout to prevent him form going to the lakers? so childish. sounds like grade school ish…”i’m not giving you the gameshark code because i don’t want you to get mew”
