Thank god he's gone so our coach can't play him at center in crunch time anymore.

Bitch you go find the Michael Ruffin Shrine and apologize for speaking badly about the Ruffmeister. :nonono:

Yes, he's the worst player in the NBA. This is why I didn't want him back.

That's nonsense as he was far from the NBA's worse player last season.

Bell and Simmons should be terribly embarrassed by there play..........I can't think of to many players who have fallen miles short of expectations.

Bell, Simmons and Gadz, 3 role players that were supposed to be key contributors to this team have essentially been worthless.

Then you add the so so Mason and up and down CV and you have a terrible team. Voila.

I was still against him being brought back. You knew he wasn't going to be happy when we brought him back.

How sad is it that we have the 'worst player in the NBA' for FIVE more years?

God is there anything good about this team's situation at the moment?

Bobby Simmons, and Bell are top of the list of worse players in the NBA. Throw Antoine Walker up there. And players that are so bad that make your team bad go to Adam Morrison, and Noah.

The reason why he is shooting bad is because he was working so hard on his PG skills.

Bell is not playing well and isn't a superstar when he is, but he's nowhere near the worst player in the nba. For starters there are guys who don't get any minutes at all.

Obviously there are scrubs on the end of benches that probably are worse than Charlie Bell. But for what Charlie is getting paid, and for what he is expected to do, he probably is the worst player in the NBA.

I guarantee you could get a guy on a 10 day contract that would at least match what Bell is bringing for us.

There's guys in the And1 team who could bring us more then what Charlie is bringing at the moment.

Jerome James is the most useless player in the NBA and he gets paid around what Charlie Bell does. But yeah, Charlie is pathetic this year. Too bad that we are so bad right now that we actually HAVE to play him because we have no one else.

Yep and right now he's posting in the 'chicken soup' thread, looking for a bit of payback.

Wouldn't Allen Houston currently be the worst player in the NBA?

There is no need for gross inaccuracies like that.
Here is what Jerome James will make from this season until the end of his current contract:
07-08 $5.8 mil
08-09 $6.2 mil
09-10 $6.6 mil
Total: $18.6 mil

Here is what Bell will make in those same three seasons:
07-08 $3.106 mil
08-09 $3.35448 mil
09-10 $3.60296 mil
Total: $10.06344 mil

Even just talking about Charlie Bell's salary this season, you can't say Jerome James is paid "around" what Charlie Bell is when Charlie Bell would need over an 86.7% raise this season to match Jerome James' take home pay for the season.

And then you can add in the $10.4 mil James made the previous two seasons for a contract totaling $29 mil over 5 years and then add in the $7.95136 mil Bell will make in the two final seasons of his contract for a contract totaling $18.0148 mil. BIG difference.

I'm not expecting everyone here to know the ballpark amount of what every player makes off the top of their head. BUT, if you are going to make a declaration like you did above, you should look that up first as it impacts people's opinions who assume you provided accurate information.
Nothing personal. This is just one of those things that will never go unresponded to if I happen to notice it
