from draftexpress.com. Fabricio Oberto, 6-10 PF/C is interesting...

Nevertheless, according to his agent Mark Bartelstein, Charlie Bell will be in the NBA next year. Bartelstein informed DraftExpress.com that they have come to an understanding with an NBA team that Bell will be signed when it is allowed to be announced on July 22nd. According to Bartelstein, who did not want to name the NBA team Bell will sign for, the contract is two years long and is fully guaranteed. Bell came over from Spain during the Chicago pre-draft camp and held a private session with other Priority Sports clients for interested NBA teams. Afterwards he worked out for a couple of NBA teams privately and since then a deal has been struck to keep the undrafted free agent in the league for at least two seasons. Bell will not be participating in summer league.

According to our own sources in Spain, the team that Charlie Bell will sign with could very well end up being the Milwaukee Bucks. The contract is expected to be for the minimum. Bell would be considered entering his 2nd year in the NBA on the sliding scale, because of his previous experience with the Suns and Mavericks in 2002

with Nate I dont see the point, unless we really can do something like Dalembert for Marbury. Then signing Bell would be a great move.

The downside is that he's 30. But he's a skilled player and a solid Argentian player (they have had a nice track record with Ginobili, Nocioni etc.). He has done extremely well in international play (8/9 vs. the USA and Duncan). He can probably play 15-25 mins in the NBA and help a frontine. But I don't know that we're interested in players 30 and over.
