    I just saw on the bottom line of NBATV that the Jazz have released/bought out Raja Bell.

    I think he's a guy the Rockets should take a look at for some veteran leadership. He's a great defender, even if he's lost a step. We've lost Courtney and Bud, so we have some space at the SG. However, it looks like he wants to be on a contender.

    I'm guessing the Kevin will eventually be traded, though maybe not before the season.

    I always liked him for his clothesline on Kobe.:p

    He'll probably hook up with Nash again with the Lakers for the min.

    You're probably right. Kobe and Raja on the same team? I'd love to watch the practices.

    And I meant it exactly like that haha.

    Utah is a miserable place full of miserable fans and a deadbeat dad named Karl Malone.

    I don't blame Raja for leaving that place.

    two things the rockets don't need right now: 1, old guys. 2, new/long term/big contracts.

    he's probably not interested in a rebuilding team either. i bet he signs with the lakers, heat, or celtics

    I believe he's already favoring the Heat.

    Kobe's been trying to recruit him since last year. I can see him being a Laker next season.

    Listen the Rockets would rather be better served not chasing after trash...Like for example...with the trash we are getting from NY...I hope the Rockets find a way to buy out the contracts...and keep Toney Douglas...

    Using that logic...Raja Bell is a bad addition to this team...We dont need a veteran to teach us how to tank!
