This may signal another move in the works. Then again, it might be a pipe dream.
The Heat extended an offer to Charlie Bell and he took it. The 6'3" guard who has been stuck in Milwaukee the last few years, signed an offer sheet with the Heat for 5 years at 18.5M. The Bucks can match, but reports were that they expected to entice Bell with less than a million per season. Bell and his representation started to explore playing in Europe as an option to free him from the Bucks, but with the Heat's signing the Bucks may be reluctant to match but instead look for another option.
The Bucks have 7 days to match the Heat's offer...that means mark the 24th on your calendar. Let the countdown begin.

I know Bell's not the high profile move we would've loved in Miami (I think we would've preferred ANOTHER Buck's FA guard earlier this offseason.. ahem), but at this point with what's available, I love this move. We had to give him a 5 year offer, but that's about all there is to gripe about with the signing. In him we're looking at a combo guard that shoots fairly well and makes few mistakes, and that's a huge positive for this team. Nicely done, Riley.
Well, it was not to be.
Bucks matched a few days ago, and Bell is staying in Milwaukee. Maybe there will be a trade since he, like Pietrus, doesn't want to be with his current team.
