Could he sign here?

The deadline for the Warriors to buy out his contract is March 1st.... Bell has said he is "fully prepared to play (for GS)", but its not certain.

Signing Bell would help the team get some comradery back and would fill the Flip role, and would spell Jax's minutes a bit.

However if he is bought out, he'd likely go with a team like the Lakers or Cavs.

50% he's going to a contender
30% Suns
15% Bobcats
5% some other team

He's done for the season. Can't see how he would help?

I love Raja as much or more as the next guy, but I hope he chases the ring.

IMO we need more of a combo anyway. Someone with some handles.

My understanding is that he might be available to play just before the playoffs...

In any case I suspect he'll sign with Boston/Cleveland/LA or somebody like that before us.

There seems to be interest at GSW in bringing him back one more year,as a "savvy veteran",in which case they want to keep his Bird rights

having Raja available after a buy-out would be amazing. He'd be a great veteran off the bench to continue defending hard and give us some decent scoring. What's his wrist situation like?

I think we'll have a chance to sign someone if we want, and I think they should. Hughes or James would help a little too.
