[QUOTE=IamSofaKing]Biggest steal ever...[/QUOTE]
is george non-guaranteed?
couldnt bother to read the top thread in the forum huh?
Very big steal. Marco is a very good player, just nelson hated him. For devon george haha.
Raptors are stacked with Euro players.... :wtf:
[QUOTE=boozehound]couldnt bother to read the top thread in the forum huh?[/QUOTE]
we both posted at the same time idiot
Why do the W's do this?
:wtf: dumb trade, i like toronto's offseason so far this year. another solid move, but why would nelly do this ass-backwards trade other than george being the more experience player.
bad trade for GS (if George's contract is guarenteed)
[QUOTE=phoenix_bladen]we both posted at the same time idiot[/QUOTE]
posts are time stamped douche, check again. 9:25 vs your 9:28
Warriors are officially contenders.
:confusedshrug:
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.
^ It was probably an honest mistake you rude turd... :rolleyes:

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.
Warriors are trying to make a run for that 7 or 8th spot.
[QUOTE=boozehound]posts are time stamped douche, check again. 9:25 vs your 9:28[/QUOTE]
do you ever realize that maybe we were both typing and he happened to clicked on submit first before i did?
you're dumb as a brick
did you ever go to school ?
go delete my post if it bothers you so much
that is if you even have rights haha!

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.
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.
Calderon/Jack
DeRozan/Belinelli
Turkoglu/Wright
Bosh/Evans
Bargnani/Nesterovic
Win :banana:
[QUOTE=OneMoreSucka]Warriors are officially contenders.[/QUOTE]
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
Bellinelli isn't anything special but good trade for Raps
raptors have the whitest team in the nba now.
calderon/ukic
bellineli
turkoglu
Bargnani
Rasho
Belinelli is way better than Devean George and I don't get why the Warriors did this trade, they could have gotten better value for him.
He's pretty athletic and has a great offensive arsenal:

The Raptors are trying to sign Stefano Mancinelli as well. :lol
Soon they'll have a roster that looks like this:
Calderon/Bulleri
Belinelli/Basile
Turkoglu/Mancinelli
Bosh/Gigli
Bargnani/Gabini
:D good move. :hammertime:
BC is the ****ing man

Utah better get on that quick.
Just what will BC get for Ukic now? Great trade for the Raptors.
nice trade. there must be a catch.
TOR is definately looking more attractive to Bosh than it did a few months ago.
Raptors need to sign Dirk in 2010 lol, Europeans galore!!!
