Raja Bell was the first deal in free agency so far. Raja Bell was signed by the Suns. This sucks, now we sure need someone that can shoot. We only got Giricek now. We screwed if we don't get any one else that can shoot. Does this change what we go after?
Oh well, I was kinda looking forward to Raja re-signing, but since he is a free agent I guess he can go where he wants to or his agent wants him to go. Maybe this will open the door for Giri and Kirk. Also since Raja doesn't seem to be coming back to you see the Jazz push for C.J. Miles not to go to college, it had seemed like they wanted him to go to Texas for about two years and then come to the team?
Losing Raja Bell wont help the Jazz, he was a leader for them. He played with determination, could score and play D. Phoenix offered more than what the Jazz were willing to offer to bring Bell back, and they had an impressive season. Bell leaving will give Giricek and Snyder more minutes.
