Bell, Jefferson, and Harris

This is hard to say, but I think Bell, Jefferson, and Harris need to go.  I like Big Al and Harris, but they are terrible fits with this team. Harris is a good scoring PG but this team needs someone who can make the players around them better. And Al would be great in a system like Orlando where he would be surrounded by shooters. But in a system built on cuts and screens, the offense just stops when he gets the ball. I’ve noticed that over the last few games when the second unit comes in things pick up.  And as for Bell, he just sucks…and if you haven’t been paying attention there is a great interview by the Tribune with him. He doesn’t come out and say it, but he wants out of here and is clearly frustrated with some type of “situation”.

    He said he wants to spend more time with his wife and kids and not let things affect his relationship with them.

    Well, here’s an idea. Don’t be a professional basketball player. Don’t live in Miami and get a job in Utah. Also, don’t suck on the court.

    We want three-baller, Kobe-clothesliner Raja. Is that really that hard to do? Instead we have fierce-talker, no-game Raja.

    I think he needs to accept his age and the limitations that come with it, re-examine what he can really bring to the court, and Ty needs to play him less minutes (8-12 min a night).

    KOC should just tell Raja he can go home then.

    Interesting.
    Raja´s role could become of the bench easily, I don´t understand why this noob coach in god´s name put on starting lineup.
    Big Al is good, but I don´t see playing at 4 (his natural position) in this jazz team, so we could kick his ass out of Utah, damn big looser.
    And Harris as I said he descontrol team, he runs and score pretty well but don´t organice team, so I see him as sg more than a pg, and surprise! that´s we need right now.

    I think we need to get him the Bell off of our team.

  5. There’s a lot of hating on Harris. Bottom line is, after than Millsap, Devin Harris is probably the best all-around basketball player on our team. I think Harris is a good player and would love to keep him on our team.

    Imagine if we drafted/traded for a PURE point guard and Devin Harris was our starting shooting guard. I’m thinking that’d be pretty awesome. In other words, imagine Wall or Lowry starting for us and having Devin Harris be the shooting guard instead of Raja Bell.

    THAT’S what I’m talking about.
