any chance at Bell

They have Mo Williams and Ramon Sessions(was co-rookie of the month in April) and are thin at the 2 spot. Is there any chance at Bell? He has a 4yr deal at a little more than Scal's deal so how can we retain this guy. I think Bell would be THE perfect backup pg for us and tried last year to get him.

Maybe Scal(sorter $$) Big Baby & cash( or 2nd rd pk or sign&trade Tony Allen)?

I'd rather re-sign Eddie House. He already has great chemistry with the team, he will come cheaper and wouldn't have to commit 4 years to him.

Raja? - not a chance
Troy - sure, but why?

Raja is a yes, but I doubt he is available.

Charlie Bell (not Troy) if he can be had on the cheap. Not sure I like his salary. He makes Gabe Pruitt expendable.

No, I'm talking about Taco, lol.

CHARLIE Bell of the Bucks and I think he's much better than House(also 35% shooting the 3 to House's 43% but Bell took twice as more 3's than House).

So I'm hoping we land Charlie Bell for Scal(shorter $$$) Davis and a #2 or cash or s&t TAllen.

Our pg rotation...Rondo, Bell & Pruit would be awesome.

I like Scal and I think he has a role on this team (provided he finds his wayward shot.) That being said, he is very good friends with Jefferson. Jefferson is upset about landing in Milwaukee. Scal is perhaps someone that could smooth things over in Milwaukee. Just something to think about.

Bell all things equal is a better shooter than House, or at least has been in the past by my calculations. Not sure he's a better player, but is going to be 32 at the start of next season (to list some other guards who have fallen in this category over the past five seasons: Derek Fisher, Chicky Atkins, Damon Stoudamire, Aaron McKie, Mike James....guys that have disappeared even Derek Fisher had an injury ravaged season before returning closer to old form), he's not that good a shooter, and if he is better than House the difference is not enough to justify not bringing House back instead (if he'll come back).

I certainly wouldn't trade anything to land him, even Scal

Charlie Bell has had some big point games. He's buried in Milwaukee and he doesn't have the kindest of contracts. I'd still prefer House though.

Bell is a better pg offensively than House but no matter what the numbers say he isn't the same kind of shooter.

The problem with Bell is that he lacks the quickness to guard the point or the size to guard the 2 so he is a bit of fraud defensively though he gives a lot of effort on that end. His contract isn't great but isn't that big of a deal. That said I don't see MIL giving away a good rotation guard for the C's trash.

i would love charlie bell here. he is a sure spark off the bench every night. he also can defend and handle the ball very well. i wouldn't mind giving up big baby and give up scal for him.
