Been on it, I think we need to make a move to get another 5+ ppg SG onto the roster too.
Raja Bell's bandwagon
Seriously we need him badly as soon as possible. With all those bricks our team is schooting and all those opponent SG having an experience of a lifetime of free way to score at will, we need him more than ever.

Like I wrote on the Bucks (Friday night) thread: I called this after the Nets game where he went down:

I was kinda on the "Bell's past his prime" bandwagon during his first two games here, but after a while, he started to get aquainted with the offense. Now, he's probably the most valuable two that we have (shooting 3s, defense etc.) After watching the Buck's game, I'm more than convinced that Rajah is in through need!
He's the most valuable 2 based on the fact that we don't have any other good 2. We saw the lack of a 2 when we got J-Rich. We traded him because he was the most valuable player we had to bring back something good. As Larry said we got 2 starters and a very hopeful second rounder for 1 starter, 1 role player and a PROTECTED second round pick. Not the best, I'd rather have kept dudley or the pick, but this I'm sure was a sticking point and we didn't want to wait too long. Now we have no depth at 2 again, little at 3, there are ways to rotate to give us depth at 4/5 and clearly we're set on the 1 front. We've all seen the rumors, its likely to be felton and a wing player for a veteran 1 and fairly good 2 or 3, but who knows until NBA news tells me or an alert pops up in my google, nothing happened.
I think the Raja Bell Bandwagon ran over our team last night

I once pulled my groin when I was in college playing rugby. Let me tell you, it hurt like a bitch. I couldn't make cuts whatsoever. Now, in basketball, lateral movement is much more important than it is in rugby, and I was out for a week. With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if Rajah is out for another week.Originally Posted by ALuhrs704
He'll be back Tuesday...was a game time decision Saturday night.
FWIW, I was on the Raja bandwagon from the moment we traded for him. Even if he has lost a step defensively he's still the best defending 2 we've ever had...and there's no way DJ as a starter would work without a defensive minded partner IMO.

Same here; and from the stories I've heard about him from MT (who got to know him really well in Yakima where Raja played CBA ball out of college), and from interactions I've seen between him and kids at the game, he's an A+ person too, which, being the anachronism that I am, is still important to me!
Raj is the man!
