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

[FkLA]

Good regular season minutes eater. Unplayable in the playoffs.

[DPG21920]

One of the worst rotation players in the history of this team..he has a few nice stretches during the RS and somehow has an avid following here

You can't win anything with Belinelli in your rotation, as Philly learned against Boston last season(and didn't want him back) and obviously as the Spurs saw in 2014..he's so bad, it hurts..

He's getting exploited by Malik Beasley and Craig, it's not like he's going against star players..Jesus..he better do SOMETHING positive in game 5, ANYTHING..

Pop has to bench him. He should not see another minute this series.

[timtonymanu]

Lonnie already looked so much better and you can't say it was garbage time since the Nuggets starters were still in.

Hopefully Beli gets traded in the offseason, he's just in Lonnie's way next year.

[objective]

It's been obvious to anyone with a clue that Marco was a trash signing

I love Pop, but he should retire if he's making the same dumb decisions that he himself sluggishly corrected 5 years ago. He figured out, almost too late, that Marco couldn't play against the Mavs in 2014. But somehow he and RC were so out of it or shook that they played themselves.

5 years is a long long time for someone that age.

The audacity of anybody to bump this thread during the RS

Belinelli belongs on teams like the Hornets or Pistons..

If Pop knew how to stagger his starters, Marco would be OK. He can't hit the kick-out 3 playing with the all-bench turd crew.

Doesn't solve his defense

[HarlemHeat37]

Doesn't solve his defense

Or his basketball IQ..

People generally avoid questioning the basketball IQ of non-Black players, but Belinelli's is near the bottom of the league..

[KimmyGib]

I've been unpleasantly surprised at how much playing time Belinelli has been getting so far in this series. I thought for sure Pop learned from the last go-around that while Marco is a decent enough guy to have in the regular season, he is unplayable in the playoffs. Just absolutely abysmal. Like Patty minus the energy and effort.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't know how it would happen, but please, don't let him put on a Spurs jersey ever again..

[HarlemHeat37]

How can such a bad player be given so many opportunities and such a long leash?

[objective]

Could Lonnie Walker IV have been any worse than Marco?

[cjw]

That lazy foul on that and one ended up making a bit of a difference

[Floyd Pacquiao]

How can such a bad player be given so many opportunities and such a long leash?

Cause pop is a stubborn man... his worst trait.

[KimmyGib]

3 missed shots, an assist, and a weak foul to give up an easy and-1. That covers Belinelli's 16 minutes tonight. And not even his worst game of the series.

[DavidTheGoliath]

Shouldve signed Joe Harris instead tbh

[objective]

RC and Pop actually wanted him back and paid him

He's even paid for next year

I wonder if they were surprised at how awful he was .... Or maybe they think he was really good and blame White

[monty4329]

In fairness, the guy has a bad hip. He had several excellent games in the regular season.

It won't be difficult to trade him this summer, I guess Lakers, Suns, Indiana, even Philly would take him in a heartbeat, his salary is chump change.

[ceperez]

Shouldve signed Joe Harris instead tbh

In hindsight, yes.

Same as drafting Nokic over Anderson.

[ceperez]

Marco's value is in how he moves without the ball.

The problem with this team is that DeRozan and Aldridge don't know how to pass the ball to a moving man!

very true

[John B]

Who is he talking the minutes from? Not White, Lonnie or Forbes. It’s a toss between Mills and Beli for me. Both are defensive liabilities.

How many shots did Belinelli attempt in game 7? Only 3 attempts!!! That's because DeRozan and LMA were hogging all the shots and not making any!

What Derozan and LMA don't get is that the Spurs don't win if they don't look to support other players. The floor only opens up if the role players are actually attempting shots.

Beli has the best moving-without-the ball. The problem is his defense, and Pop insisting on playing him with Mills or Forbes/Bertans. Nope. We already have enough shooters in Forbes, Bertans. White can also play 2, likewise Lonnie. I’d really rather play Bertans with his length and deep range over Beli.

[slick'81]

He really is useless come playoff time
