the guy who know how to get rb, you complain he can’t score; and a guy who can’t sore but you complain his no good in d. come on, both of them only a million player, and better than the experienced guy voskuhl. so, what do you really want? why don’t you ask BC use 1 mil to sign Kobe.

Belinelli moving his feet well and playing tough D (even if he gets beat)

GSW traded Belinelli for cash and George was the filler. It makes sense for them since Nelson and Marco havent worked out and there is no way they are re-signing him after this year. Much like the Delfino trade, we are getting a streaky but talented Euro with an expiring contract – that we are gambling will improve given the more hospitable environment. The downside is that we’ll have to pay him at the end of the year. But the “cash considerations” are virtually limitless for MLSE, so why not acumulate some talent?

I’m a big Warriors fan and i agree with this trade. We are too stacked with guards. I still think we will have a good team. Belinelli will be a good player for the Raptors.

In the picture with BC on the phone, anyone know who is the dude on the left?
I went to the TFC game yesterday and saw him with Jay Triano.
Would be nice to know….

Go Raps.

great move, BC…. but I dont think he is done yet….watch him move Roko now and with a roster spot still open, bring in Stefano Mancinelli who is big and athletic and can play the 3 or 4

I am not pissed about this trade at all.

I just want us heading a new direction, not returning to the same mistakes we made before. Lets be honest, Belineli will see more burn on our team than anywhere in the league, that worries me.

lol Rizzo, hes a 2, not a 3, and he ain’t as bad an on-the-ball defender as you chirpin. His problem is hes lost when his man doesnt have the ball, and hes got no idea when or how to box out. Plus, I’m pretty sure the Raps didnt pick up this kid to play D. FYI, Rizzo’s a Dub fan and pissed about the trade :P

Only problem with this is that Wright cant be part of a package trade for 3 months after he was originally traded…he can only be part of a one for one

Belineli’s defence is attrocious. He is a serious liability against 98% of the SF in the league.

Averaging 16pts means nothing if you give up 25.

He is not NBA material. In this league you need to play on both sides of the ball, he doesn’t seem interested in defence at all. TEAMS WILL KEY IN ON HIM the minute he is inserted.

What is worse is that he is athletic and fast, yet his defence is not even CIAU level. It will be 4vs5 when he sees the floor.

I’m not really sure why anyone would have a problem getting rid of Devon George.(Ahem Rye):P Has anyone watched him play the last 2 years? Sure he played a decent role in the Lakers Championships, but his athleticism is almost non-exisisent now, which is pretty much what he relied on to be a solid defender. Marco has some skills, and he’s definitly got the talent to play in the NBA, just needs some guidence. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBY1cbW7YLs

I’d take Marco anyday over DG

Wow this was a great move. Belinelli has shown that when given playing time, which he wasn’t given enough of in Golden State, he is a scorer who can basically do what Kapono did last year except he is more athletic, a better slasher, a better dribbler as he sometimes played point guard in GS, and costs way less. He can provide good energy and quick offense off of a relatively offensively dry second unit. George wouldn’t have filled that void so it was a good move to address the needs of the team.

I can’t wait to see how their new team will play out during the season!
