Woj: Free agent guard Marco Belinelli has agreed to a two-year, $12M deal with Spurs

[FireMicoHalili]

Again, I don’t know if people just don’t do any basic research or get so blinded by bias, but Forbes shot better from 3 than Beli last year.

Sure did. Kid didn’t do a lot better in other respects: https://www.basketball-reference.com...01&idx=players

[Marcus Bryant]

Interesting considering Forbes had a better 3PT% last year than Beli..

Much fewer attempts in garbage time often.

[FireMicoHalili]

Who are you going to get for that price that can space the floor and defend? The Spurs need reliable scoring of the bench. Being able to defend would be great too, but that defender cannot be a liability offensively.

Going to be annoying if the Warriors sign Tyreke for less, but this isn’t a bad price to pay for familiarity and championship experience especially if Manu retires. If Kawhi gets dealt having some veterans familiar with the system will make the transition much smoother.

Anyone know if Raven is on suicide watch? Serious question.

Bingo

You nailed it, sir. Adiós, Manu.

[jjktkk]

Not really. What would adding some more shooting an awful defense do to solve any problems? SA is not contending and should be either signing 1 year deals or letting young guys grow.

You know Pop isn't going to play the young guys and oversee a Spurs rebuild.

Replace Forbes with Beli moves what needle for what purpose while hurting cap space next year.

Belinelli " moves what needle" with his reliable shooting. Forbes is way too inconsistent a shooter.

So he shot better

Belli is 100 times the player that worthless scrub is. Wow. Forbes only took wide open shots. Belli can shoot it from anywhere and took a lot of contested shots.

[Mr. Body]

This is as much about team culture as anything, especially if Mills is sent packing.

[jjktkk]

This is my literal nightmare. Lose Kawhi and bring back zero upside aging poor defensive only value is if they happen to get hot shooting type players.

Judging by your takes, you just want the Spurs to dump salary and prioritize cap space. In other words, tank.

Yeah this comparison needs to stop.

[Marcus Bryant]

So he shot better

In fewer attempts when it didn't matter.

Guy is just splitting hairs. Forbes shot a better clip from three but didn’t do better elsewhere, so Belinelli shot a better field goal percentage. Overall they have the same shooting clips throughout their careers but Belinelli has better true shooting percentages and a slightly better field goal percentage. Guy doesn’t get the value of veteran presence. I believe Pop wants to stay two more years, with those last two years being spent steering a compe ive couple of years. It doesn’t make sense to oversee a rebuild and the roster moves indicate they’d rather go for deep playoff runs than start from scratch.

Yeah but that's the only thing he can do
And I trust Marco taking big shots a lot more

[exstatic]

Marco almost got the Spurs eliminated against Dallas in 2014 by himself. It wasn't until he was benched that they won it.

He is atrocious. If he's not a Kawhi whisperer this deal is on par with Mills

The market was in the Spurs favor, they just had to wait.

The youth was in their favor, they just had to wait

If this is the kind of deal they think is good. I'm scared of what they take back for Kawhi

There was a reason they didn't re-sign him last time!!!

LOL. He got like $10m a year on a much lower cap. That’s why they didn’t re-sign him.

[hater]

Yes!!!!!!!!

No

[Mugen]

Beli's actually hit big shots, whereas Bryn was ing terrible in a no-pressure series against the Warriors while being guarded by Quinn Cook.

But yeah guess he shot better during garbage time minutes during the regular season...

Lol Beli wasn’t hitting shots while Boston pummeled PHI without Kyrie or Hayward

[ace3g]

[spursistan]

There is still hope, I guess ..

[Chinook]

. If Manu comes back, this off-season just gets worse and worse.

[rascal]

10+ pages for not a difference maker type of move. Would rather see the Spurs turn the page on past players and start a rebuild with young players with potential.

[SpursBills]

I think this gives some indication as to the direction the front office is taking; I think they are planning to keep Kawhi at all costs and try and repair the relationship this year. Only way this move makes sense.
