    Will he stick? Always wanted him here, he’s never quite reached his potential due to immaturity.

    @Clutch has always wanted him, seems like a human victory cigar right now though. Hope we can develop him more.

    Spent the last several off seasons playing with harden in Cali runs. He’s going to be just fine finding a role here

    So he is playing behind Rivers, in place of where Clemons is now. He might as well not be on the team.

    We don’t do that with the young big already on the roster.

    He may be a better version of the manimal on this team. I kind of like him as a throw in. I hope he is locked in and ready for his opportunity.

    Sounds like we won’t need Tristan Thompson anymore... Unless we have no plans of actually using Bell.

    That's a good question. Faried plays with more energy, but is a disaster defensively. Bell has more skill. I haven't looked up his defensive rating, but the eye test tells me that he can switch effectively, and does a decent job of staying in front of his man.

    Bell should be hungry. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but I think he can add quality depth to our bench.

    He can have a role... not quite the lob threat but a good versatile defender with finishing ability is welcome. We’ll see...

    The real reason why he is in Houston! Lol! I wish he can be a useful backup for PJ. That's the most that one can expect from him.
