any thoughts on Marco Belinelli in a Spurs uniform?

[BILLYE]

does this guy play any defense WHEN he is on the court? Could he flourish in a Spurs uniform with a couple years of seasoning beforehand?

No.

[Mr. Body]

This is terrible, this idea. Terrible.

[Sec24Row7]

Well... If we got Belinelli we could probably get rid of a towel boy position. He could accurately throw a towel to a player that had actually been on the court from his position on the end of the bench...

That is...

If someone wasn't guarding him.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Where's that Kill Bill Panera Bread guy when you need him?

[ChumpDumper]

Dude refused to be assigned to the D-League. He prefers not playing in the NBA.

[hater]

he was Manu's teamate in Italy. Manu would make him a near allstar. sign him

this is not true... the kid went to practice with the team a couple of times... never played with him

[hater]

you might be right, since this is from wikipedia:
"Prior to his NBA career, Belinelli played for Italy's Virtus Bologna where he had Manu Ginobili as a teammate/mentor and Fortitudo Bologna in the Italian Lega A and the elite Europe-wide Euroleague."

"His favorite players are Manu Ginobili (who was his teammate in the 2001-02 season with Virtus Bologna), Kobe Bryant and his idol Michael Jordan. "

I quite like him as a player but the fact that he turned down D-League is a big red flag.
He has the upside to be a good NBA player but he can't be that without a better attitude.

[MeloHype]

Hopefully he improved

[Budkin]

wow nice bump :lol

[Sean Cagney]

LOL at NO NO NO at the beginning, hopefully he proves some wrong in here who did not want him.

:lmao

epic fail

[ChumpDumper]

:lmao

epic failEverything about that statement was true. He wasn't getting minutes in the NBA five years ago. That's why the team wanted to send him to the D-League.

Some players will go, some won't.

:rolleyes

[ChumpDumper]

:rolleyesWhat part of that do you not understand?

[ohmwrecker]

This is funny.

[spurraider21]

What part of that do you not understand?

preference to play in the NBA =/= willingness to play in the D-League. how can you possibly make the assumption that he didn't want to play in the NBA?

[ChumpDumper]

The choice was play in the D-League or rack up DNPs for the majority of the NBA season.

He chose the latter, therefore he preferred not playing in the NBA to playing in the D-League.

[Darius McCrary]

[ChumpDumper]

Nope, he preferred to not play in the NBA rather than play in the D-League.

No reflection on his play whatsoever.

[TheyCallMePro]
