That only conclusion I can come with on why he still playing. On why Pop started him last game in the second half. He wants to increase marcos trade value.
Doubt that's the reason. Pop in his old age has lost it.
some great clips of the compe ive defense Belinelli has been playing and also great remarks about the coach

Belinelli is good when used as a spark plug but he cant handle regular minutes. He is good when used as a surprise attack on opponent def. The teams main problem is Forbes inability to defend.
Can't defend. Can't shoot. Constantly exploited by opposing teams. So what's he in there for?
Because Greg likes him. Pop's tendency toward favoritism is a big problem.
He is still a great clutch shooter but too old and inconsistent to be relied upon anymore.Hopefully spurs can dump his ass somewhere but wont get anything of value in return for the ol vet
Some plausible reasons Marco is playing aside from Popovich's undying loyalty.
1) Maintains his trade value
2) Relieves pressure to play Walker extended minutes depressing his confidence if he's not fully ready
3) Marco may in fact recover his shooting touch, enough to propel the team to the 8th seed
Regardless I don't see Marco being in San Antonio a year from now. Along with DeRozan and Forbes, we just have to deal with 60 more games from these guys. With luck all three will be playing elsewhere in 2020-2021.
"I'll handle it by increasing his minutes and role."
First time I ever turned off a spurs game. Can’t keep watching Marco and Forbes get killed on d out there while Lonnie wastes away on bench.
Bro, he subbed Lonnie in for like a minute in the 3rd. He committed a turnover and missed a shot so Pop quickly benched him. It was unbelievable.
It’s ridiculous. Just checked score.
Lolz 110 in third quarter. Marco and Forbes getting torched.
do you also believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy?
Marco isn't even the worst of our problems. So many leaks in the dike the little Dutch boy doesn't have enough fingers and toes together to keep out the flood.
Trolling us, right? Frankly I can't see those three guys playing anyplace BUT San Antonio - for Pop. Well, Forbes and Belinelli, anyway.
IB's dad knows what's up:
Are we sure he isn’t talking about Nephew? Respect, if he’s talking about Italian got though
John Hollinger said that Marco must have some incriminating picks of Pop, can't be that far off.
Petrini is saying that Pop said he doesn't know what real +/- is and usually has an analytics guy come to him with a summary written on one piece of paper. Why doesn't that surprise me at all
Wouldn't be surprised if Lonnies parents were getting in his ear about pop as well. It's en disgrace.
I would contend that he is. Benching him and giving Lonnie all of his minutes would be a great start to fixing our problems.
Not nearly as good a start as replacing Forbes with Lonnie. Forbes is by far a bigger problem.
The old man has to ing go, man. It's time.Petrini is saying that Pop said he doesn't know what real +/- is and usually has an analytics guy come to him with a summary written on one piece of paper. Why doesn't that surprise me at all
the problem is he won't. What if he decides to stay another 2 years? Bryn Forbes and Belinelli supermax contracts?
Why would Marco have any trade value as anything other than salary filler to get a bigger deal done?
Nobody is trading for an expiring 33 year old scrub on a lottery team. If anybody actually wants him, all they have to do is wait until the Spurs give him a buyout so he can try to latch onto a playoff team.
