Like them both. Bell reminds me a lot of Hendo, just a natural, effortless athlete. Big man has a chance, looks way more fluid than Biz ever did.

Bell looks like he makes Jeff Taylor trade-expendable. Bell is clearly a backup, but his frame + game reminds me a little bit of Lance Stephenson. Physical and fluid guy who should also be a very good defender. People have already been talking about Hairston coming off the bench, so for the time being that means Henderson is still your starting shooting guard, and he still needs to be traded if possible. So I'd say, pick up Bell, especially if he does well in Summer League. You'd have PJ & Bell on the roster. Taylor and Henderson could both be traded for your starting SG if you don't pick up one in Free Agency.

Probably because he's 24 and has no mid range game at all. I read he only shot one mid range shot a all season.

Still nice pick up and should have no problem to get the #3 center spot.

Didnt miss a shot in his work out video. 

 

He still has 6-12 years in the league. 

 

You draft him for his defense and rebounding. Anything else would just be icing on the cake. 

 

This dude is a terror blocking shots in the paint.

He's a UDFA so if we get anything out of him or Bell then it's a major win. I have a good feeling we will keep him as our #3 center and he can develop and eventually be Bismack's replacement and will have a lot smaller contract since he was a UDFA.

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
