    I wasn't a fan, at all, but he will be missed..outside of a few games vs. a Clippers team with an atrocious bench, he was mostly a no-show during the playoffs during his time as a Spur..however, he was always huge during the regular season, and you'll always miss a player that shot 40+% from 3 and had great chemistry with the primary playmaker in the bench unit(Manu)..

    I don't think the Spurs will be able to replace his production with the same style of play..I expect Green to play 30 for the first time, which will improve the defense, but we'll see a different style of scoring through the bench's Beli replacement, probably more Anderson post-ups or giving Simmons a chance to play off the dribble IMO..

    Spurs still need somebody to alleviate Manu's playmaking duties, though..Beli didn't do much of that, if they can find somebody to replace some of Manu's load, it would be worth the loss of Beli..

    very good takes here ... Belli was just a player when he was hot, nobody was hotter than him (thats why he replaced Neal so well) ... watching him playing for Italy this summer was awesome in that regard. yes, statistics say his defense is so bad, but his shooting, cutting and passing made him a positive factor for me (its just what I saw, but I tend to overlook defensive mistakes)

    I think our bench as a whole can make up his production, but outside of Patty we have no bench scorer who can get on a roll and decide a game himself with his production (is Manu still able to do that?). Its gonna be team effort ...

    Man I am excited for the season to start ...

    Beli's contract will be reasonable by after this season; and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't fit the Kings. Not saying it'll happen; just saying he could come back. $6 mil for a shooter proven in our system is not a big deal if the cap space is there.
    Spurs aren't giving up assets for a completely replaceable player. Neal, on the other hand, will actually be a free agent next summer. If the Spurs are desperate, that might be a step they take.

    Beli was good because offensively when he was run off the three point line, he could do something else to get off his shot. I'll miss his fake, then side step escape dribble and launch. One of the best in the business at doing this.

    Won't miss his defense. You can count on teams going right at him as soon as he entered the game.
