Well, the Spurs did have a $3M Finals three-point record setter who also played elite defense...
I can't believe our 3m/year three point champion can't also play good defense. Overpaid and overvalued tbh.

You should be here during the game threads if you think these kind of threads are bad.
And thus he became worth ~7-10m
...at which point he stopped being a $3m player. Beli's what he was when the Spurs signed him, and what he's been on other teams. OP's suddenly up in arms because he was bad through two exhibition games, tbh.
watching that video, why the did they double Splitter outside of the paint? they did that numerous times
He has played like dating back to the regular season last year.
If his playoffs were so terrible how did he shoot 42% 3 pt?
Reg season .485 FG% .430 3G% 80 games 25.2 mins
Post season .444 FG% .421 3G% 23 games 11 mins
Yeah, let's ignore facts and go with hysteria.
Either your standards are way too high for the money he's being paid, or you're gonna need to provide some examples.
After the all star break he was pretty damn bad.
Belinelli is a monster in the regular season.
.333 or less in 15 games of 28 from range, .43 or less in fg% in 16.. 3 or less reb in 20 games 3 or less ass in 21.. that's bad. add to that his awful defensive rating and overall cancerous play and there's your bottom 3 player in the league.
Thought he got cut up on Sunday night?
To be more precise, he shot 42% from the floor, 48% from two point range, 40% on threes, played 25 minutes, averaged 11.6 points, 2.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and less than one turnover per game. All of those numbers are close to his averages for the year and are as good or better than the numbers he's put up anywhere else he's been. Maybe you'd like to explain to everyone how that's not worth what he's being paid.
simply put, he statpadded in meaningless games that we won by the time he even got on the floor (which was a fairly common occurance last year) and that's what my statistic tells you. i find it incredibly funny that his biggest clutch shot was a wide open 3pointer in a game we were around +20 when he came on the floor and were almost putting away simply because he was playing. Honestly, if the dallas series did not tell people that he is as bad as it gets in the league, than i can't help you people. I mean, it's literally put him on the floor and the opposing team gets hot...
Simply put, he started six of those games and averaged 19 points per game. Even more simply put, he played 25 minutes a game, so I'm unsure how your math tells you that the game was over before he was subbed in. Again, you need to say what you expect of a bench player that gets paid what he gets paid. You need to explain how he's become deficient since he was on any other team, because it looks to me like he's a better version of himself with the Spurs than he was when before they signed him.
he was always terrible, i don't see why you're surprised.. just check the defensive rating, considering it's a team based stat, his awfulness gets multiplied since his teammates are top notch in the category. And i'm sure you don't want to talk about the games he started
I don't think he's terrible. You said he was a bottom-3 player in the league. You might as well go look it up and bring his defensive rating into the conversation, since every other ing stat has showed what an idiot you are. I'll wait. (Hint: His defensive rating is one point less than Boris Diaw and two points better than Tony Parker)he was always terrible, i don't see why you're surprised.. just check the defensive rating, considering it's a team based stat, his awfulness gets multiplied since his teammates are top notch in the category.

And I'm fine talking about the games he started. Find another 19 ppg starter who makes 2.7 million or less. Again, I'll wait.
bottom 10 clearly, personally i consider him the second most cancerous player in the league just behind bargnani. he has a 102.6 drt, diaw 101 and tony 100.8... you do know that drtg is better if it's lower right?
Clearly a bias against italians
According to basketball reference, his defensive rating is 105. 104 for Diaw and 107 for Parker. Not great, but his offensive rating was third on the team for players in the rotation. His PER for last season was 15.0, league average. Sorry. If you hate him, you're just going to have to man up and accept that there's no evidence to back you up.
