Raja Bell Works Out For Knicks, Impresses For Roster Consideration
Jul 08, 2013 10:45 PM EDT
Free agent guard Raja Bell worked out for the Knicks in New York on Monday and stood out to the point where he could receive consideration for a roster spot, a league source told RealGM.
The Knicks have been intrigued by the outside shooting and defensive versatility that Bell is known for, and they invited him into their facility on Monday. In the workouts, Bell shot well and outplayed New York’s incoming rookies in one on one drills, a source said, leaving the Knicks surprised given Bell sat out the entire 2012-13 season.
Bell, 36, always has been known as a hard worker and a positive locker room presence, but he played sparingly two seasons ago and had a falling out with the Utah Jazz. It led to him being away from the team, despite feeling healthy.
After losing Chris Copeland in free agency, Steve Novak and Quentin Richardson in trade and Jason Kidd to retirement, the Knicks have scoured the free agent for veterans to sign into their budget. For now, the Knicks have just J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert at shooting guard.
Bell averaged 6.4 points and shot 39.1 percent from three-point range two seasons ago, and he’s used the past year to elevate his fitness. With career averages of nearly 10 points and almost 41 percent from long-range, Bell has played for seven organizations in 12 years – highlighted by two seasons of 14.7 points per game for the Phoenix Suns.
Been out this thread for couple weeks and I gotta say, man, we (and by we, I mean most of y'all) flip flop on anybody any time things aren't going our way.
I mean I get the whole "what have you done for me lately" sentiment but damn seems like there's no attachment/loyalty to anyone. Went from F STAT, who was the only one who wanted to come here to F Lin, who made half the '11 season bearable, to F Novak, who gave us (at least me) some of the best moments the year knocking down 3s and breaking out the discount double-check. So we've gone from that to now calling Tyson Gerber soft to saying F Melo too?
I want a chip as bad as anyone,but a little more loyalty wouldn't hurt, would it?
I'm not worried at all about a superstar willing to come here. We're not some contractable team. Current and rising stars saw what STAT did and how he turned things around, enough dudes out there with a bit of an ego that think they could do the same AND better.Cap room doesn't mean **** , tell me the last championship team that had loads of cap room . All that cap room is meaningless if you don't have a superstar willing to play for your squad . 2010 ain't teach y'all nothing ?
