I've watched Belinelli play alot. There is no doubt he is a good shooter but offensively he isn't as fearless as Neal and he sure isn't a huge upgrade defensively. I just don't think he's an improvement. I'd rather see Neal back or an upgrade tbh..
Neal has finals experience and corporate knowledge. No sense in getting rid of him for Belinelli imo..
He definitely was, but conveniently the vast majority ignored the fact that his calf strain and plantar fasciitis were the primary reasons for that. For two plus seasons, he proved he was one of the best shooters in the league and a sixth man caliber scorer and that's generally worth the MLE.Quote:

thank you for everything Gary :cry
Come on to Denver Gary :smokin
Wow, those Northside Ford commercials are horrible.
With Neal gone maybe they can pair Tiago with Belinelli. How many difficult to understand accents can we lump together?
for what $Quote:

Shows his all-around game, with the little runner and the mid-range pull up. Damn Im gonna miss my nigga Gary. :cry
I was thrilled when this guy made the roster, seemingly out of nowhere. At the time, it was hailed as yet another SA front office coup to dig up an undrafted guy who could contribute on a contender. And that's what he did. Well or hurt, highly paid or playing for peanuts, from a basketball perspective it really doesn't matter in the end. He made a positive contribution in many ways and beat the odds to do so. I'm not quite sure how so many of these armchair GMs think he can be faulted for doing what he did to the best of his ability. I hope Gary has a long and fruitful career, wherever he ends up.Quote:

Too bad Bel has just as bad D

Good luck to Neal if he ships out. He was good and extremely affordable while he was here.
How did Neal get so underrated by Spurs fans at the end? Odd, tbh. Biggest reason why the Spurs are seemingly letting him go is because SG is the deepest position on the team. There's just no way to justify another multi-year contract at that position. What Belinelli got was about the most the Spurs could pay.
Neal gave the Spurs outstanding performance for the money they paid him.
If this is the end, thanks :tu
^Manu signifies the end. If he would have taken less money, the Spurs could have signed someone better than Belinelli. I can understand Tiago Splitter not wanting to sacrifice any $$$ because he's younger and it's his first shot at big $$$. But Manu? He was the one who should have sacrificed more.

If he doesn't stay, all I can do is wish him luck.
He had great moments as a Spur. I will never forget tha 3-pointer against Memphis.
Not his fault he was asked to play as a PG tbh.
GOOD BYE HERO.
Tbh, for the price I can't really complain about him, though.
I will miss Gary Neal too. I agree with your comment. I'll never forget his Game 3 performance alongside Danny Green.Quote:

But you'll are ok with Manu getting over paid when he's way past his prime? Shame on you.
