Raja Bell has been waived by the Utah Jazz.

Bell and the Jazz were unable to agree to a buyout before the Mar. 1 deadline, making him ineligible for the playoffs.

Bell hasn't played this season following a fallout with Tyrone Corbin.

It's like come on this has been going on since last year and they come to this finality. I sorta hope the Jazz have a bad off-season. There's a proper way to conduct business this isn't one of them.

Management already said they may do this anyway. They didn't feel they should play him to play for another team. So at least he knew if he wanted to play for a contender he would have to sacrifice some money. I do not necessarily agree with the Jazz but they did put it out there that they would keep him out of playing in the playoffs.

They did

But agents have power too, mess with their clients and cost them opportunities it can come back to seriously bite you in the butt. The Jazz are going nowhere this year and you can argue looking further into how they do business they haven't properly developed their talent either.

Yeah I was just think about why are they where they are. They have good peices but no cohesion. Mislap is probably gone and Jefferson seems like a poor mans Nene. Good numbers but not a difference maker. They need a pg in the worst way.

What is the market on Jefferson this summer?

I remember when the Bulls did this to John Starks in his last season (or one of his last seasons). Bell kind of played a part though- he refused to give up any of his money, if he had he would have been set free. In a way that's the way it should be- I don't like players thinking they should get money for nothing.

If Bell wanted a lessor amount and play, he could have.

not a dirty move by jazz. Maybe Bell is done.

They had a buyout amount agreed to, he and his agent had a hard time finding a team to offset what he would lose signing as a free agent. So instead of waving him prior to as a means to do good business...maybe somebody picks him up off waivers, maybe a team like us.... they held on to him until 1 week past the 1st and waived him.

Sorry that's a dirty move by the Jazz...

Team's best interest would have been to get value for Milsap and Jeff I guess they picked and chose what is and isn't important....

Like releasing Bell to a different team was going to derail their team...I believe because they felt his landing spot could be the Lakers it became a game of chicken.

I'll take your non answer as a no i guess.
