Warriors trade Marco Bellinelli to Raptors for Devean George

[dr8ked]

Warriors are trying to make a run for that 7 or 8th spot.

And when you "create a thread" and have to copy an article you lose the update feature for a little bit. It is the same way while posting... as I post right now there may be 10 guys posting on another thread.

Quit being a douche.

Devean George wasn't going to see any playing time in Toronto. He stinks and to me is pretty much done in the NBA.

Belinelli isn't anything great but clearly more productive at this point than George and is only 23 years old. He'll get some minutes on the Raptors since the only people he'll have to compete with are Derozan and Wright.

I guess GS is just clearing up room and minutes for the rest of their backcourt players? Whatever. It's a win in terms of value and talent for the Raptors. Thanks Golden State.

Yup.

This almost seems to good to be true, massive steal for the Raptors as George really didn't figure into this years plans at all. Belinelli, while inconsistant, has shown some positive things in his short NBA career, at 23 years old and a position of need, it's yet another underrated move by Raptors management this offseason, well done.

I like that the Raptors now have an SG that can actually handle the ball. I don't think we Raptors fans have seen that since Vince.

There's also no immediate pressure to sign Carlos Delfino either. I think I'd still rather have Delfino than Belinelli in terms of fit for the rest of the roster (better defense and rebounding) but whatever, it's not a big difference either way.

Dumb trade. The warriors should have at least got a pick for him. They could have got more than Devean George. Steal by the Raptors. They needed a shooter after trading Kapono for Evans.

[Rekindled]

it's official. Raptors is gonna be my 3rd favorite team next year.

Nice trade by raptors.

wow wow, Marco was showing that he can play last season before he went down with injury, I like that we now have another ball handler. I can't believe W's couldn't do better than devean george. This trade is better than the Hoffa/Kris Humphies trade imo. Another good deal, BC.

Warriors are officially contenders.

I agree they are contenders but not because of this trade.

Raptors are looking better and better.

I'd say a four or five seed is in reach for them.

Belinelli or Wright might start at the 2. I don't think Derozan is ready yet. The Raptors have quietly had a pretty good off-season. They are looking like a playoff team.

I'd say Antoine Wright starts so the Raptors have at least one good defender in the back court.

^ I agree, Calderon is a horrible on ball defender....

Yea, DeRozans still a little raw but he will get his playing time
