Another possibility for Raja Bell: The Lakers. Kobe Bryant recruited Bell hard a year ago, and still fits as defensive-minded guard w/ Nash
Thoughts?
Though he's old, he's definitely still serviceable and can be used as a lockdown defender

While he's not my first choice, he did shoot 39% from three and he has played with Nash. However, according to Woj he's interested in Miami.

Apparently he's interested in joining the Heat/Celtics/Lakers. Out of those three we're able to offer the most minutes and he can rejoin playing with Nash.

No bad blood after the snub 2 years ago? I thought he was done that season anyway.

Raja Bell Close To Buyout With Jazz
July 8 at 6:46pm CST By Ryan Raroque
Brian T. Smith of The Salt Lake Tribune tweets that Raja Bell is on the verge of a buyout with the Jazz. The 6'5'' shooting guard averaged 6.4 PPG and shot 39.1% from three point range in 34 games last season. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo (via Twitter) says that Bell could be interested in returning to his hometown to play for the Heat. The Lakers could also be a possibility, as the 35-year-old guard would be reunited with former-Suns teammate Steve Nash.

That is pretty surprising. He shouldn't have played any.

See Worthy, just come to me with all the questions you may have about life.
I do find it strange why I can remember NBA stuff and have no idea what I ate for breakfast, lunch, or dinner yesterday. And basketball isn't even my favorite sport.
