Warriors trade Bellinelli to Raptors for Devean George

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

How can George be traded so soon? He was part of the Marion trade...don't you have to wait like 3 months?

That's for a free agent signing or if you're being traded back to the team you were with originally.

[anonoftheinternets]

ummm why? how does this trade make sense in any way?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WOW, what a great trade for Toronto... Can't believe they pulled this off, i bet Mavs fans wish they could have done the same while they had George. The guy is over the hill and is terrible. Bellinelli will shine in toronto with Euro Raptors. Don Nelson is so bad at developing young talent or giving them a chance. Look at Randolph, we knew he'd do what he did in summer league all year if he had only been given the chance... Toronto making quite a push to keep Bosh, how does he leave?

When the team finally steps onto the court and pretty much chokes the entire season away like most Toronto sports franchises (see: Blue Jays)

or when the team step onto the court and bosh realizes he is the only black guy on the team.

[mountainballer]

fantastic trade for the Raptors. get him for nothing. Belinelli will flourish in the Parker role.
question: what are the Raptors going to do with their 7 or 8 guards? (and Hedo is a lot playing like a guard also). at least one more trade coming to balance the roster?

toronto got shafted

"We're looking forward to adding a veteran with Devean's experience to our squad," said Warriors general manager Larry Riley. "He is obviously a proven winner and has been on several very successful teams during his career, which is something we feel is important when you look at the youth on our roster. He is a versatile player and someone who we feel can contribute on and off the court."

Colangelo really loves Italians.

[lefty]

That's what happens when a franchise has 2 Italians are involved in management and scouting

He had his Italian fetish in Phoenix.

I forgot the name of the guy who is in charge of international scouting for Toronto; he is 100 percent Italian; he really sucks by the way

[45 bank shot]

Gherardini? Yeah he's balls.

[EricB]

I don't understand WTF the Warriors are thinking here.

Absolutely beyond re ed.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Devon George is a clutch 3 point shooter and a damn good defender. Him being 6'8 allows him to guard numerous players just like Posey. Again he is a CLUTCH shooter as well. James Posey part 2.

Trust me bro, I watched George for years. You don't want him. He wouldn't do for the Celtics what Posey did. He sucks. Laker fans called him Gump. Mav fans call him breath. Do the math.

That's for a free agent signing or if you're being traded back to the team you were with originally.

furthermore, a player cannot be packed with other players for a trade during the first month after he got traded, though he can be traded individually at any time. Anyway it's a big regret to lose DB in the Marion trade, that's why I haven't ever given any applause to this trade even though it's not a bad one for Donnie.

[lefty]

Gherardini? Yeah he's balls.

Yep, that's him.

Thanks

I remember Vanessa Williams in that Proactiv commercial (she was still with Rick Fox )

She said that Fox's then teammates were using Proactiv too.

For some reason, the only then Laker who came to mind was Devean George
