Surprise surprise, Spurs much better without Marco and his terrible defense, bad shot selection and 32% shooting.
Just like the good old days.

As much crap as Forbes/Mills get, Marco is far worse on D, which totally cancels out his O. The only things Marco can do better than DWhite is shooting and off ball movement, but when you consider Marco's shooting selection that pretty much negates that advantage.
Marco needs to see very limited minutes to reduce DDR minutes a bit more, but would like to see White get the bulk of minutes that were going to Beli, and Pop stick with tonights SL for a few games
Can we get anything valuable from Philly for him?
Marco for Simmons. DO IT!
Seriously, that's a good idea. Philly probably would love him back, we'd love him gone if we can get anything of value.
Philly passed on re-signing him.
Frankly unless I was a tanking team I'd pass on him too. He has nothing to offer a good team at this point.
No. They didn't want to pay him what the Spurs did. Might not have wanted him back at anything above minimum.
I see only Wilson Chandler but he earns double of what Marco is earning. Would have to attach either Bertans or Cunningham and Pondexter. I don't think PATFO would do this
Would you do Fultz for Macro? (Not that it would happen...)
After the departure of Saric and Covington and the tom ery of Fultz might make them assess their need for Beli
Sure, wouldn't hurt to make the offer. Except Philly would prolly get better offers.
Amend: oops, I thought I read "Fultz."
Good logic. Wouldn't hurt to offer.
Yeah. I was thinking Philly could do better for Simmons than Marco too.
of course, get him to Chip and he will have a jumpshot
They are on a winning streak right now and are playing well. Why would they need Cancernelli? They already had him and let him go.
Maybe for Fultz if you attach a pick (I wouldn't).
MLE prize Marco with the second half benching. If only it was for both halves for the rest of the season.
$12 million in dead money
Congrats Pop and RC. Really looking forward to next season's MLE prize, 35 year old Gary Neal with the 3/21 deal.
Meh. Marco’s a pretty easily tradeable contract. He can be moved and there are plenty of teams that would have interest for a shooter off the bench, especially as contending teams try to make moves before the playoff race. Spurs might actually go that route if the suckage continues.
Pretty confident in thinking that Marco's days of being easily moved are over. Nobody wanted to give up a damn thing for him last year on almost identical money. Atlanta had to cut him, nobody was biting, they couldn't get a protected second rounder.
How does he still have the rep that he's some great or even good shooter? He's always been overrated. Couldn't even hit 35.0% for Philly in the playoffs.
Quarter mark into the season and he's shooting 32.1% from three.
The Hawks had offers for Beli that included seconds, but none of those teams were willing to add pure expirings in the deal. In retrospect, it makes little sense for them to have turned those down provided the picks were decent. They didn't need the cap space. Philly preserved cap space for a Leonard trade and/or James signing. I'm all for not having Beli on teams and all, but their situation was much closer to Dallas letting guys like Barea go (or SA letting Marco in 2015) than say a Gary Neal situation.
Would a team take Beli at this point? I think so, though I'm less sure they'd take him for pure expirings. Something like a Thunder fan proposed on RealGM is probably on the table: Beli for Patterson, TLC and a second. Honestly don't think that's good enough, but it's within range if the team can find a forward another team wants to trade
Cancernelli. Props to Raven who coined that name.
Marco is fine, tbh, people just want role players like him to save the bacon when the alleged 'stars' are happy to drop 20, 30 points, play no defense and go home with an L...
As terrible as Patty or Forbes have been, they've been way over their heads, tbh, they're bench players thrown in to close games, etc. Cunningham, same thing.
Bertans also looks like a bench player, and I don't know if I would rank him above current Marco, tbh... then you have promising guys like White (who is going to make mistakes) that are constantly in the doghouse...
Who is asking Marco to save anything? He's playing his role horribly
He's playing 20 MPG, all he's asked to do is provide an offensive burst off the bench..he's shooting 32% from 3 and takes some of the worst shot attempts you'll ever see in an NBA game..
I would understand and agree with your argument if you were referring to Forbes, since he's being asked to play a much more prominent role than he's suited for, but Marco? Nah..
Also, Bertans and Belinelli are out there for the same thing: three pts shooting. One is averaging 32% and the other 44%, but you don't know who you would rank first?
