    Raja Bell just confirmed that YES Manu called their agent and asked why he allowed Bell to go the Suns. He said Manu doesn't like the way he(Bell) plays D against him. Bell was/is being interviewed after the press conf to announce his signing.

    Here is a link to the stream; it'll probably be mentioned again through out the show (on until 6pm local time).

    everyone here said it was a joke from the writer who posted it way back when.

    That and Manu won't be as happy to play the Suns ;-)

    If Manu's splits against the Jazz are any indicator, we have nothing to worry about at all.

    Sunfans need some hope after losing JJ.

    Covered in another thread. Manu doesn't like the constant flagrant fouls.

    Check out where Bell rates on Rosenbaum's statistical analysis of SG's defensively.

    Many fans on this board acted like that. There were several threads re: the subject.

    How it pans out is anyones guess, but the fact is Manu does not like to play against Raja. Can't wait for the first game between the two.

    Interestingly, Bell who is being signed by the Suns in order to shore up their defense rates as a bad defender. What is remarkable about Bell's results is that he has played for several teams over the past three seasons and yet his defensive ratings have been consistently bad. That strongly suggests that putting him in a new context with the Suns is not going to markedly improve his defense.

    It's gonna be just like always... Manu's gonna own him whether he gets a flagrant foul or not, and the spurs are gonna win.


    What's the point of this thread?


    To try to make your team look good by saying you might have Ginobili stopper, even when that doesn't exist.

    Hey, if Manu doesn't like shooting .611 from the field, .556 from the arc and scoring 21 points in 29 minutes, he can hate it all he wants.

    who really cares if Manu said it or not, Bell cant guard him for sh!t without being dirty
    fact is PHX got older with the Bell and Thomas additions
    Nash will also be one year older
    unless coach Pornstash changes his ways the suns will be burnt out by the time the playoffs come around, if they can stay healthy

    threating to not sign or use another agent just because you don't want another client of your agent to sign somewhere shoudl be banned in the next CBA this is not professonal at all

    imagen if you are a big player liek wade, tim, wade, and you said I will change agents if you have devin brown go to denver have him only go to boston seems unfair

    Honestly, if Manu called his agent to actually complain about the Bell singing then he IS a pussy.
    If he did call I honestly believe it was one of Manu's common jokes. If not, then I'm quite ashamed of him...

    Like has already been noted...the best game Manu had against the Jazz last season was the one Bell started against him. He may not like Bell but it's not like has bad games against him.

    And Manu needs to fire his agent for giving Bell that information. He needs to let others know that agent tells clients of private conversations with other clients. I am sure there is a potential lawsuit in there as well against that agent.

    How do you know you have a dumbass agent? When he favors a low paid client over a high paid one in breaking confidentiality. IF all this is true that guy clearly is working in Bell's interest at the direct expense of Manu...Manu needs to give him the full time opportunity to represent Bell.

    K, your link points to a crappy Phoenix radio which I only listened to 1 minute of it and doesn't say anything about the topic.

    Yes, Manu is gonna bother calling his agent after hearing the news about Raja Bell

    I'll beleive that when Phoenix makes it out of the West in the playoffs or when D'antony opens a water bottle w/out any help
