STEIN_LINE_HQ Just filed to ESPN.com: Raja Bell will not be meeting with Kobe Bryant after all ... because Bell has been snapped up Utah
STEIN_LINE_HQ Sources say Jazz put hard press on Bell -- who has played for Jerry Sloan before -- and offered three-year deal worth nearly $10 million
Alot of us assumed he was a near lock for LA.
Interesting signing for the Jazz.

STEIN_LINE_HQ Kobe has been chasing Bell hard, with phone calls before Wednesday's scheduled sitdown. But Lakers' best offer could only start at $1.8 mil

Looks like Utah's reloading with some good talent.

That's a fantastic move for them. Great fit, and it keeps him away from their competitor.

I get the feeling that he's washed up and finished.

The feud that couldn't be mended not even for a possible ring. Good for Bell!

Surprised he didn't sign with LA...but at least with Utah he gets to start still.

Jazz always end up with a good team.
It's amazing how well built they are every year.

You said it Ozzy.
They are like a machine, just churning out competative teams year after year.

Looks like he wants the money more than a ring, obviously

Last I heard, Blazers signed him to a 5 year $34mill contract back on the 11th, so unless they've matched (I can check in a sec) Utah still has a few more days to decide.
Speculation is that with Bell signing in Utah it means the Jazz won't match the Blazers and Wesley Mathews is going headed to Portland (uncomfirmed though)
