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

Woohoo

To be honest, I don't think we will be sacrificing much in regards to Marco's defense if he can make some shots.

The lack of offensive capability on the team this past season was ing offensive and our biggest problem, overall.

Plus, Marco has cajones, which we were also severely lacking, which is not unrelated to the missed open shots. We needed someone with a little moxie to their personality.

Agree with this. Every team needs a bucket-getter with the shot clock winding down. I think the front office eventually envisions that role going to Lonnie, and Marco is meant to be the bridge while Lonnie gets some seasoning in Austin.

The guys will definitely be happy that he’s back. The team needs better shooting so I understand it but it makes me wonder what’s happening with their guard rotation for sure.
Someone is either retiring or getting traded.

Hopefully Beli plays most of his minutes at the 3. As un-ideal as that is, I wanna see Walker/White get some run. Maybe there's a chance of Patty/Danny getting moved or Tony/Manu not returning to balance out the roster. We're so guard heavy right now.

[SAGirl]

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.

I also see them counting on Kawhi to play. I don’t know if their strategy will work but that’s the way this looks.

All fine and good, but it still doesn't solve the lack of bigs problem on the roster.

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

Not even close, try 6.3 million a year from Sacramento

Gave up that unprotected pick next year to make it happen too. , they might have had that and Tatum right had they not done that Philly deal.

[coachmac87]

Spurs fans just ing to lol.

[spurraider21]

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

piss off tbh

[Rocalcio]

Is this the end of Fathead?

What is the connection ? Nonsense...

I thought ive read patfo wants kl away from team.? That would be an odd thing to expect him to stay away and play...

I forget who suggested it, but the person who said his may mean Mills is potentially gone, they have a point. They really duplicate in skill set (B shooting, C passing, C handling), and Marco is both bigger (and thus a better defender), a better cutter off the ball, and cheaper (paid like a bench player should be, which Mills really should be...).

that. That last thing the Spurs need is like eight guards and no forwards and White and Walker in the d-league again.

To be fair out of those 8 only 2 can actually do the fundamentals of a perimeter player

I'd rather have non-shooting Kyle back on a 2/12 than Marco.

At least he can smallball 4

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Well this came out of nowhere. Welcome back Ferrari

[Harry Callahan]

Signing non-American players who truly appreciate the opportunities of the Spurs and 'MERICA can't be a bad thing. Many of the home grown American Spurs (and NBA players in general) like to complain about their crappy lot in life making seven and eight figure annual salaries. They sometimes don't even show up for work for long stretches of time.

But how can That non shooting Kyle play smallball 4 from where he was seated in the playoffs??
He fukkin sux.

Yes, he is not good

Marco will be worse. Probably even worse than the last time now that he's older

You know that's happening whether Manu comes back or not. Barring trading Green/Patty, the guard positions are pretty much taken. I do expect White to get more of a chance on his 2nd season.
