Only for the minimum, he isn't worth anything more than that..

I'd like him to return. He was one of my favourite Suns.

Raja would be an upgrade at SG. At least we'd have some defense and not a player who kills all offensive ball movement by jacking up off balanced 3's like J-Brick.

I don't know about upgrade, but who wouldn't love to see Raja back in a Suns uni. And the minimum sounds about right.

Raja Bell's last full season here he was shooting 42% from 3. J-Brick is shooting 35% from 3 and killing the offense. Not to mention 14 mil per year. http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... lra01.html

Yeah, but we wouldn't be getting the same Raja back if he did end up back here. He's played 6 games this year, and isn't he injured.

I wouldn't mind him, how much is the minimum? I'm more than happy for Raja to return as long as he is getting less than 4 or 5 million.

You can't be serious. Raja Bell can't do anything on offense except catch and shoot open 3s.

Plus the guy is done, an upgrade over JRich? Laughable.. hysterical..

Bell is one of the worst rebounders at his position too.

How is that anything different from what JRich does now? JRich is a transition shooter just like Raja. The only difference between the two is that Raja actually knows what defense is, and he has a BBIQ over 1.

With that said, I'd love to have Raja back- but not if it means overpaying.

Handle the ball, rebound..

Some people here really have no clue or extreme short term memory.

Wow. I would love for Raja to come back. And I'm sure Nash would be very excited too. Raja, Dudley, Amundson is just too much defense :D Haha.

why does every flippin thread have to dissolve down to a standoff between two absolutes that arent remotely true. Stop being so polarized you fools.
