Raja and Kobe went at it for a few season. Anyone calling Raja overrated needs to check themselves. If Kobe is PERSONALLY meeting with this guy to try to get him here, doesn't that mean he's someone extremely valuable?

LA Times saying Bell will take a week or so to decide...

In the article, Bell's agent, Herb Rudoy said that Bell will make his decision sometime next week. For all we know that could be this Sunday or Monday. They're barely meeting today so let's just hope Kobe's can convince him to sign here. That's fine if he wants to think it over, I want Bell and Kurt Thomas and that's it for summer... of course, also sign Ebanks & Caracter!

That's the same quote from his agent that came before Bell met with Kobe. Kobe could conceivably make him change his mind about waiting.

Raja is a poor man's Battier, but more of an a$$hole. I like it.

Yeah... Really liked what he had to say... I don't remember ever saying this before but...

DO IT MITCH!... That felt weird...

I think either he or Barnes could help... But I think Raja is a little more focused and has his head in the game a little more than Barnes... So I hope Kobe can make this happen.

So he's going to Utah for 3yr/10M... That was fast.

If that interview was in fact right before the meeting, he had to know he was most likely going to Utah...

It makes it a little easier to dislike him again. 8-)

I take it the meeting didn't go to well? I wonder if they actually threw down.

I don't know... Rumor has it he canceled the meeting last minute...

I'm wondering if this is real or not now... 3M a year for 3 years seems a little high for Bell coming off an injury and with a lockout likely next season, and he seemed genuinely pumped about the meeting...

Who knows... I guess I'll wait till someone makes it official.

So disappointed. Really wanted him on our squad.
