Just saying. If we have anything Bobcats would want would be another thing.

Raja Bell would be a great pick-up. He's definitely a natural 2 but he could play some minutes at the 3. I'll assume that Daniels will get most of his minutes at the 3. Anyway, a package of TA/Scal, Giddins and money would be my max. offer. I'm not sure it would be enough for the Bobcats but the addition of Bell would improve our already ridiculously talented bench.

I would love to do a TA for Raja swap, he is a solid defender and can hit the 3, we are a bit short of 3 point shooting outside of house

we should definitely get him... he can play sf for us. he is a good wing defender and 3pt shooter. marquis will be the one guarding bigger sf's anyways. what's important is we get more capable length in our wing.

Raja's less of a 3 than Marquis is. I'd love to have him over TA, but I don't think we could pick him up. IIRC, Ainge was interested in him last year.

Is Bell still a good defensive player? I haven't seen a lot of the Bobcats lately. His 3pt shooting is outstanding.

I'd love to get Raja Bell on the team, but I don't see how they can get it done. Unless they are fans of Giddens or Walker I don't see it happening.

Best the C's can offer is Veal, Giddens or Walker, and a pick?

Sunshine's deal is the one that would save the Bobcats the most money, essentially 1 mil in salary. But looking at CHA's roster it would seem that Bell is their starter at SG and their roster is stacked with bodies up front.

I would think they are trying to use Bell's expiring deal to try and get an upgrade with more years on their deal, he is certainly fading as a player and not the defender he was 2 or 3 years ago. He can still shoot and I am sure can give you some solid defensive possessions so he is certainly a good fit overall if it would be a question what role he would have here. I think Antonio Daniels would make more sense if only because he can play the point were we lack any depth.

i feel like adding raja bell would just about guarantee a championship in boston. just imagine that type of talent coming off the bench he would be the james posey of the 08 championship team. scal and tony should get it done for him

he would fit right in.
That being said. I didnt realize just how good of a 3pt shooter he is. 6 of his 10 years he shot over 40% from 3....
