I like TT, but he's lazy. If he could adapt to the culture, he would be a solid p/u. I doubt the Spurs will get him though. Some dumbass GM will still overpay for him.
Belinelli is a great shooter and after watching a lot of his games, he is a scrappy player who hustles and is not afraid to go at it. I think its a great signing for us..I will think its an excellent signing for us if its for the room exception...if we can pull off AK47 with the MLE and sign a vet big man looking to win a le, then that would be the best offseason we could have...we get quality backup at every postion. Do it RC and Pop!

Well one thing is Neal may be getting much bigger offers than 2/6M, so that may play into it. Overall, I like Beli better, but what you say is pretty much true IMO so it points to the Spurs hopefully using the Room Exception. Nothing else makes too much sense unless Neal is getting large offers (that even though the Spurs can match, they may not want to).
Mills is still on the roster, and he's a scorer. Joseph and De Colo can get better offensively.
cheap enough if he does not work off they could trade him
We get it, you hate Nando De Colo.
Mills is very undersized and Manu is very likely to get injured so they needed a real backup plan.
But I agree I see De Colo as more of a SG but not them obviously.
for those saying he is not better then neal
neal is going to get paid alot more
you can thank manu for taking more money
Quite frankly, I have no idea what are Spurs plan. You can really make a strong case for both scenario (room exception or part of the MLE).
Wait and see.
if the deal is really for 5.6 (2.8 per year), it would be such a ty break
the room exception is for 5.4 million over 2 years (2.7 per year). If they really coughed up that 100k per year at the expense of a few million in cap to sign a free agent, i'll be pissed

Marco Belinelli ha rifiutato un contratto da 12 milioni di dollari in due anni da parte dei Cleveland Cavaliers, secondo fonti attendibili.
Yay we got Rocky on our team. I wish him the best of luck. Hopefully he can translate to Manu in Italian to stop turning the ball over. Belinelli is going to get all the open looks in the world with Pop''s system. Hopefully Kahwi can give him some tips on defense. I liked what I saw from this kid against the cHeat. He is not afraid to shoot the ball.

tbqh, how the does Bruno know so much about this sh*t lol
I don't hate him. I just don't understand why SA's wasting their time on him. I remember being very unimpressed watching him on the French NT two years ago. He's already 26(same age as Green)...not a lot of room for improvement. The fact that he whined about playing time during the playoffs is another bad sign. It's as if he EXPECTS to play without earning the playing time. That Spanoulis at ude(Euro player with big ego) won't cut in the NBA
Belinelli is a great pickup, especially for the price.
If the Spurs used the room exception on Belinelli than the MLE is gone. They are mutually exclusive.
tbqh, I'm a weird dude.
Both Mills and Neal are small-shooting guards, but at least Mills is quick and can pressure the ball. He deserves a chance. Otherwise, what does the team keep bringing him back for?
So in the worst case senario he's a taller, and likely cheaper version on Gary Neal (who must be getting larger offers if the Spurs aren't matching)?Damn, didn't expect a deal to be done on 4th of July, tbh
I've never really been a big fan of Belinelli. His shot selection is suspect, he doesn't draw many fouls, his defense is iffy at best and always seems a bit moody. The good news is that he's a good three-point shooter already in his career even though he's never gotten the open looks he will get with the Spurs. He has a really good shot of being a 40% shooter from three-point range in San Antonio.
Additionally, he can create shots a little bit and he seems to thrive in clutch situations. Oh, and he can get really damn hot from the perimeter and stay in that zone for a game or two.
I'm still digesting this signing. He's a relatively cheap way to add a scoring punch, which is a good thing. But the aforementioned negatives made me never really picture him in a Spurs uniform. Hmmmmmmmmm...
He's basically if you took Brent Barry and combined him with Gary Neal. He can be frustrating at times but his ability to score is useful when things break down. If he can learn to play better defense and rein in some of his wildness, he could be a fit. But there's a risk that Pop will want to strangle him by Christmas.
I'll take that, especially if he can thrive in clutch situations, get really damn hot from the perimeter, and stay in that zone for a game or two. I also wont cringe when he tries to drive and create like with Neal. Great pick up in my book.
he turned down 12 million to play for the spurs instead for 6 million
Awesome signing! Now if we can pull in Kirilenko I like our chances next season
if he's willing to give up that much he may as well sign for 5.4
they have $2 million to offer via the room exception. Still $2 million left to offer to any other free agent
Tell that to Manu. I know right? And some people on these forums actually bitc* about Dejuan Blair being Emo on Twitter. Fuc*ing hypocrites.if he's willing to give up that much he may as well sign for 5.4
