Belinelli Hopes to Stay...

[FutureMan]

You're 100% right. They had about 300 of the team's 800 three pointers between them. Forbes and Patty had 335 together, and people here want the Spurs to get rid of both of them too.

I just did a quick sort. There were only 19 players in the league with more 3-pointers than Forbes last season. Mills was 34th on the list, and Belli was 45th.

Losing Bertans was a big 3P hit for this team. They can't afford to lose any of the other three, without someone else to pick up a lot of slack.

Not only this but people have to realize that Carroll isn’t as good of a three point shooter as Bertans. Our saving grace last season was that even though we shot the least amount of three pointers the Spurs shot them extremely well. That will not happen this seasons.

They should’ve traded Belinelli not Bertans.

The thing about piss poor form in pretty much any sport is that it tends to fail under pressure.

exactly and that's exactly what we saw with belli in the PO's.

I think Big Balls Belinelli could be a valuable asset to the Spurs, if he is used less frequently and at appropriate moments. After all, he still a dangerous threat. The money would have to be less, or course.

There were no PO without Belinelli RS. And the series was lost by Pop big time, anyway

He's gotta be hopeful after seeing Gasol get a loyalty contract after one mediocre year.

Simply put this is not true. Belinelli negatively effected a lot of games and started the year worse than I’ve ever seen him play. He’s part of the reason the Spurs started out so terribly.

When it comes to the playoffs. We lost that series because Mills, Bertans, and Belinelli couldn’t hit any of their shots. Belinelli did OK from three but he shot 36% from the floor overall.

Good post. Very accurate take on what happened.

Only if there's enough after Patty gets his 2 years 40 million dollar deal.

WTF? You kidding me
