Bell is someone many of us liked entering the draft and looked pretty good early on, is he still looking like a good piece or has he flatlined?

Such a strange career arc. He looked absolutely incredible his rookie season, like the next coming of Draymond and for some reason hasn't caught on elsewhere. I'd much rather take a flier on a guy like him or a Thon Maker than give a contract to someone like Whiteside.
Yeah, he’s 26 next year so relatively young, and a PF, a position we might be weak on come the trade deadline. From what I can tell worth a consideration.

Just tell Vivek he’s an ex warrior.

Worth a flyer. It seems like just yesterday he was the Warriors’ next Draymond Green.
He looks like the next Draymond Green because he got to play with Klay and Steph on a championship level team.

So you’re saying he’d probably look even better next to Fox and Haliburton?!

Yeah, I'd rather take a shot at Bell than anyone out there TBH. He'd fit great with the team running the break.

Fixed it for you.
Wasn't Bell drafted with a pick we initially owned? I would be ok with taking a flyer on that type of player if he can be had at or near the minimum for one year. Exactly the right kind of gamble for a team looking to lose games.

Why does everyone want Jordan Bell? Ohhhhhhh, we're tanking. Hell yeah, let's sign Bell!

I feel it’s less WANTING him and more like “Eh, sure, why not?”

I see a lot of comments about potential up above. Bell is not going to get better at this point, it's a complete waste of a roster spot regardless of salary....unless we need some tank players

I mean.. we have to fill the remaining roster somehow. What are better choices? A returning Kosta Koufos and Glenn Robinson the third?

I would take the RollaKosta over Bell, any day! That bunny shot from the free throw line is legendary

I have negative love for Kosta Koufos. Lmao
Yeah, I’m not sure who’s left after the opening day frenzy. I did ask if Bell had flatlined or if maybe he just needs a change of system or come home to his mommas California cooking, regardless hes got the profile of a player we should be interested in.
I don't mind Bell because he probably won't move the needle and can probably be signed on a one year only deal at low cost. Possible trade chip at end of season. But of course if something changed and he suddenly had value, that is ok, too, I guess. But unlikely.

Sure, why not! Let’s just sign every recent lottery/1st rounder that’s been let go. They can hang with Bagley and repair their stocks and be the ultimate actual Young SuperTeam in 2021.

I saw the recent James Ham article where he's baffled by them letting Bogi walk and then in the same article make a comment about how they should seriously consider bringing Koufos back.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a Whiteside deal, AS LONG as it's cheap and for one year only.
If there was ever a way to destroy a team for one year and ensure tanking it'd be to combine an awful fit like Bagley and Whiteside, Walton's awful coaching, and Buddy/Whiteside's locker room grousing.

I don’t read James Ham’s work. Every time he’s brought up, he sounds near incompetent.

My two fave Ham articles were:
1. That Boogie piece and how the Kings were set to max him. A week or so later, Boogie got punted to the Pels.
2. That Markelle Fultz piece and how he was the perfect PG for the Kings. How they should consider mortgaging the future for him. I wasn't here then, but stated on STR that I thought Fultz was vastly overrated.
Long story short, yea, Ham doesn't really do his own hoops homework. Just an echo chamber for others.

He seems like a nice guy, but not good for much analysis. He loved the Afflalo singing because he could be penciled in for12 points,the reasoning being that was more than previous 2 guards. He of course couldn't even do that.
