They can’t just sign him, this would be outside the free agency period, but if there’s a bigger deal to be made with the Warriors, he’d be in it for sure. And seeing how the Phoenix-Golden State Amare Stoudemire deal seems as good as dead, I bet Toronto’s made another call to Nellie and Larry Riley.

Snooch is gonna love this

jeffb · 07-01-2009, 12:39 PM

I would love for us to get Belinelli.

S&T AP for him??

jeffb · 07-01-2009, 02:20 PM

Marion (S&T)

FOR

Belinelli/Azubuike

Gurk · 07-01-2009, 02:25 PM

Nice. I want Bellie too. He has a nice shot even thouhg he tends to take a lot of them from beyond the arc, he usually makes'em. Last year he broke out as a player having so many 20 point games. I would love him here

B-RAD · 07-01-2009, 03:07 PM

i think there is going to be a Bosh and hump trade.

I would be happy having Belinelli

I think it would be a great addition and i well know him from years and i think he still hasn't showed all his talent.

Oh, well, if you look at my flag you can understand even my second reason to be happy.

xI_kaptain_Ix · 07-01-2009, 04:38 PM

it just seems like this year doesn't want to come together for us... I think Bosh is as good as gone, we can't even get Marion to return calls..lol

Bellinelli and Douby are like the same player. Belli just looked good for two weeks playing Nellie gimmick ball

Snooch · 07-01-2009, 05:09 PM

Belli is ALOT better than Douby.

Belli-without being jerked in and out of lineups would be a younger version of AP.

Love for him on this team.

KirHarold · 07-01-2009, 05:21 PM

Everyone in the league is better than Douby..This is just Toronto.

Admiral · 07-01-2009, 06:28 PM

raptors are interested in any SG at this point

n30tokyo · 07-01-2009, 07:09 PM

instead of Marion's case the only being focus, we should try to make a run for this guy and Kleiza while their names are still up in the list.

Shifty.py · 07-02-2009, 08:09 AM

Bellinelli is sweet player, but Kleiza is quite limited. Doesn't create shots, likes to shoot threes and can finish at the rim only if its clear
