Rumor: Marco Belinelli to.... Nets?

Hoopsworld.com is reporting that a trade might be in line for the Warriors and Nets ... again.
Here is what is said for the most part:
" The source explained that talks were on going between the Warriors and Nets, but that Marco was made aware of the talks and told that a deal could transpire soon.
Sources close to the Nets could not confirm that the Nets were talking trade with anyone.
Belinelli has played in 5 games for the warriors this season, logging 6 minutes per game on average."
I am not sure if I would be willing to give up on Marco. Although Morrow looks like he can shoot nearly as well if not better, I think Marco still has greater potential, especially if he develops his passing. The article did not state who or what we would receive in exchange.
The following are players with similar salaries:
| Yi Jianlian | $2,986,080 | $3,194,400 | $4,050,500 | $5,403,366 | $0 |
| Brook Lopez | $2,098,560 | $2,255,880 | $2,413,320 | $3,076,983 | $4,190,850 |
| Jarvis Hayes | $1,910,000 | $2,062,800 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Sean Williams | $1,522,920 | $1,629,120 | $2,502,328 | $3,533,287 | $0 |
| Ryan Anderson | $1,225,200 | $1,317,120 | $1,409,040 | $2,244,600 | $3,234,468 |
| Josh Boone | $1,212,120 | $2,056,967 | $2,992,887 | $0 | $0 |
| Maurice Ager | $1,042,440 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Chris Douglas-Roberts | $442,114 |
Maybe this trade would be inplace of the pick we owe them (The lottery protected one from the Marcus Williams trade)?

Hmm
I personally don’t want to see him go.
Maybe this trade would be inplace of the pick we owe them?
Hmm, what do you mean? Like we swap Marco for the pick back? Or like a multiple player/pick trade?
Brook Lopez and CDR are probably unapproachable. Out of the untouchables I would like Yi, but we have a glut at Forward already.

glut at forward?
If Harrington goes we could use another 4. Maggette, Jackson, Randolph and Buike are more than enough at the 2/3, but with Hendrix going down Sean Williams could really help out at the 4/5. Moving Belinellis for a bigger guy might free them up to try and deal Harrington for a PG or buy him out.
by sam23 on Nov 15, 2008 11:41 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Yep
At the 4 we have: Wright, Randolph, Kurz, and Turiaf.

Wright:unproven. Randolph:not really a 4 only playing there out of necessity right now. Kurz:seriously? Turiaf:the first big off the bench for sure, but with Biedrins’ habit of picking up fouls quickly we need another one.

really? the Nets were already talking about how they need another PG in addition to Harris and Dooling. I know Belinelli COULD play PG but I’m thinking with all the rumors about Williams being traded or even sent down he’s far more likely.
by sam23 on Nov 15, 2008 12:03 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
So?
So what if Wright is unproven? He’s a sophomore still for crying out loud. Randolph is a 3, but still can play the 4 especially under Don Nelson. Kurz, is on the roster is he not? So yes, seriously.
Like I said at the 4, we are crowded. The only positions we need are PG and C.

by ejdacanay on Nov 15, 2008 12:09 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
well Williams can play C too. Kurz may be a Nellie favorite, but he’s been pretty bad. I’m fine with Wright getting the bulk of the minutes, but he’s basically the only real legit 4 on the roster. Even Nellie says Randolph is only playing the 4 now because its easier to learn. Hopefully we can have him focus on the 3 where his future is. If we could deal Harrington for a PG or buy him out and pick up one of the 2 PGs about to be bought out I wouldnt mind a second unit of
CJ, Buike, Randolph, Williams, and Turiaf at all.
by sam23 on Nov 15, 2008 12:18 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes thats why I highlighted the 4.
Like I said down there, I like Williams, its just his long contract.

we do need someone who can provide minutes at the 4 and the 5 and long contracts arent a problem when they are relatively cheap.

you're probably thinking Ryan Anderson, not CDR
i doubt a guy who has played in 3 games for 33 minutes (out of 12) is “unapproachable” considering the Nets are rebuilding and most of their other young players are getting heavy minutes.

I really doubt Yi, CDR or Lopez are available. Sean Williams please. He’d be great in the uptempo system.

I was mad when he went 17th in 07’ (One spot from the Warriors). But he’s still so raw. He doesn’t seem like a player Nellie plays.
To me, Nellie would have much more use for Yi or Ryan Anderson.

yea but its like the dunleavy deal. Even if Jack hadnt turned out so well you cant really fault that deal because Dunleavy simply was never going to work here. Marco isnt gonna get it done in a W’s uni, and he’s not likely to get it done anywhere.

Exactly, Marco like Dunleavey generates too much negativity to stay. Even if they do better they are not ever going to over ride their bad karma. Dun is doing ok at the Pacers and I’m glad. Hope Marco can do better somewhere else too.

I don’t think the situation with Belinelli and Dunleavy are even slightly comparable. Dunleavy was the #3 draft pick. While this wasn’t his fault, the expectations because of it were high. He never lived up to them. [Hell, even as a better player in Indy, he didn’t really live up to what most want (realistic or not) out of a #3 pick.] After his rookie deal, Dun signed a contract that was way above what he’d earned on the court and he didn’t rise to the occasion. Again, it’s not his fault that he was paid more than his actual talent and performance dictated, but it didn’t sit well with fans and further kept expectations sky high. As such, he stayed under intense scrutiny, was blamed for things beyond his control, was probably unfairly accused of things for which there was little or no evidence were the real problems (e.g. ’he should have tried harder"). No one wanted to admit that the fault was with management for overinvesting in someone not so talented. Dun was in a situation then where nothing short of stardom was going to work for him.
There isn’t similar ‘negativity’ with Marco.
Belinelli was a mid to late first rounder. The expectations should have been “well, if he can make it into the rotation, that’s better than most drafted there”. You don’t often get a star out of those picks. You seldom get a contributor for that matter. He’s not paid much and doesn’t hinder us vis a vis the cap and I’ve yet to hear teammates feel bitter about his treatment. His biggest problem seems to be that he had one really good summer league game and people somehow thought that he would always play that well. It was unrealistic, and if we forget about that, he’s still a relatively cheap pick that, as late as it was, was hard to “waste”. Still, I suspect that if he does moderately ok (something I doubt—I just don’t see it in his play) that he’ll be fine here. There isn’t the series of hard feelings that came about and stuck with Dun. There’s more the realization that he’s just not particularly talented.

I wasnt trying to compare the feelings of negativity, I was just saying both have been disapointing and cant succeed here. I dont think Marco can be successful anywhere though, I think he’s just not that good. A “shooter” who cant really shoot.

Is the person they are looking to dump, and after Morrow has risen as one of the best outside threats on our team. I don’t see why they wouldn’t dump Marco. I loved the kid at first but to me he is never going to get any burn and Morrow has definitely passed him up. Besides Once Monta comes back we will not have any room for either to play anyway.
At least with Sean we will have an athletic big who can play crazy defense. If he can run the floor we will be looking at a very good deal for us.

Sean Williams
I admit i have not seen him play, but I looked at his career stats and draft profile and it says he does not have a great shot. It also says he has had some off court issues, which I take lightly because of how Steven Jackson has matured from his issues, but is still an underlying concern. My main issue with him is the lack of a shot. Brandon Wright and Andris Biedrins are already limited in their range, while Anthony Randolph has seemed to be either hot or cold this year. Williams just seems to similar to what we already have at this point.
I would prefer Ryan Anderson or CDR although i seriously doubt they would even talk to us about trading them.

I have a feeling Al will be involved too, so how about Al and Marco for Swift and Yi (I doubt they would give him up)? I really wouldn’t miss Marco or Al too much so I’m not that particular about what comes back.
The only thing that would be tough to swallow is knowing that we could have had Wallace (an actual upgrade in talent) and ending up with a couple scrubs. Oh well, we’ll see what they can pull off.

It WOULD be nice to have 2 sharpshootes coming off the bench. We’ve yet to really know if Belinelli is a sharpshooter though. He hasn’t really demonstrated that he’s useful, let alone the kind of player who comes around so seldom that you really regret trading him.

by sam23 on Nov 15, 2008 9:06 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
He's not, I dont get it either
He shot 30 somethin percent in the euro leagues. He has never been a great shooter. It’s one of the bigger myths out there. He also has a terrible shot selection. That’s why his teammates won’t even pass to him.

if we
trade harrington we would be 1 short on the PF spot. so i think by trading belinelli for williams we would fulfill those needs in order to get a PG for harrington. i dont know if anyone has seen this but it looks like the nets are trying to shop williams too.

I think it would be good for Marco
He needs go somewhere where he will get an opportunity on a daily bases to play and get better. Nelson is not going to get him signifigant minutes to prove his ability, if he gets around 20 minutes he could definatly put some points up. needs to still work on the Defense though. It is obvious that Morrow is Nelson pick as the shooter on the team so it would be best for bellineli to find a place where he could play. I wil miss watchin him he my fav. payer.

Bellinelli was never much of a shooter. I dont understand why everyone thinks Morrow has taken over his role as the “shooter.” Sure Morrow has probably earned some of the minutes Bellnelli couldve gotten, they werent set aside for a shooter and if they were they would never have been Bellinelli’s minutes.

What about Ryan Anderson their pick from Cal this year.
A 6’10" Foward who can shoot the three. Even though he not as good as Harrington he can do a lot of the same things, he is a perfect player in Nelson’s system. Not sure if nets would be willing to do it but it could help the warriors.
by Belinelli's the savior on Nov 15, 2008 8:43 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Harrington is an athletic 6’9" forward who can shoot the 3, but I wouldnt exactly say he’s the perfect player in the Nelson system. Not saying I wouldnt like Anderson, but saying he’ll fit better than Williams here is a big assumption. Nelson likes guys that can be shoot, but the ability to shoot doesnt guarantee success here (see Al Harrington) nor does the inability to shoot guarantee failure in this system (see Andris Biedrins and to some degree Baron Davis)
by sam23 on Nov 15, 2008 9:11 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
ya your right i just think that Sean Williams would just add another center/power foward to a team that already has enought of those. I mean he is probably no better than wright or turiaf so what would be the use, at least anderson has something different form those guys being he can shoot the ball.
by Belinelli's the savior on Nov 15, 2008 9:48 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
For the most part, Nelson likes guys that he can toss out on the floor without being overly committed to position. That versatility tends to create more mismatches on offense, but it comes with some problems on defense. He likes a diverse skill set accordingly. I don’t think it’s much more complicated than that. I think his overcommitment to this was why Biedrins didn’t play more last year when the team was quite a bit better when he played than when he was on the bench.

Still, i think Anderson would be a target over Williams from the Warriors perspective. He might be one-dimensional, but at this point so is Williams. At least Anderson can provide something we already lack.

sure there is. Williams isnt getting much run at all behind Lopez, Yi, Anderson, and Boone and it was even rumored he was about to be sent down to the D-League. NJ has been shopping him for weeks, maybe even months and after Harris’ recent injury they realized they need another guy capable of playing a few PG minutes. The one for one swap makes a lot of sense, but since it hasnt happened yet I’m guessing something bigger is in the works or the Warriors backed out.

it’s less a matter of wanting to keep harrington (something i acknowledge that i wanted before the season) as wanting to get as much as we can for him. since it won’t be much of anything, i’m fine with yi, but i really don’t like his game. that’s a straight up salary dump. yi wouldn’t get off the bench much more than al has this year.

Kiki: “shoot, i fleeced you last time, let’s hear it”
Mullin/Rowell: “We’ll give you our Italian guy…what’s his name…uhh Belinni something”
Kiki: “Ok, for who?”
Mullin/Rowell: “Yi. That’s the only player Nellie has any use for. Soft big men who like to stay on the perimeter”
Kiki: “Would you like Sean "Brook’s Backup” Williams instead? He has loads and loads of potential and we know how you guys love potential."

he doesn't stress team D
but he does stress individual defensive ability/versatility.
why? because it allows him to not worry about D so much and focus on offense.
take a good look at our teams the past few years. yeah, statistically bad on d. but we caused turnovers, we gaurded bigger men with smaller players. we were statistically bad but in effect we were decent. nellie understands that to be a running team, you gotta have some sort of defensive ability.
why else do you think belli and marcus aren’t getting playing time? why do you think he started nelson over either of them this year and cj watson last year? it’s cuz he likes scrappy players who can hold their own on D. Then he doesn’t have to worry about that side of the court and set them loose on offense.
it’s not working as well this year because our players can’t finish on the fast break. we were blessed, really, with great fast break players over the years—> Baron, Ellis. right now, in terms of finishing ability, azubuike is our best fast break finisher, but with baron we had someone who could lead the break and make things easier for others to finish, or do so himself.

Agree with most of your sentiment, but...

We didn’t have Marcus last year and for all the “Belinelli at PG” talk, that’s all it was. He’s not a PG, he’s a volume shooter.
Yeah, you got a problem when Buke is your BEST finisher. The main problem the Warriors face right now is that they’re giving unproven rookies/sophomores serious minutes. It’s one thing when those players are OJ Mayo/Rudy Gay/Mike Conley and you’re deliberately “developing” your young team. It’s another thing entirely when they’re Brandon Wright/Anthony Randolph/CJ Watson/Demarcus Nelson and you’re only doing it because you have nobody else on the bench.

monta is the only exception
and in his case the pluses from his offense outweigh his defensive liabilities by too much.
but i think there’s a reason why nellie hasn’t always been the biggest fan of ellis. it’s not that nellie doesn’t like ellis, but he knows ellis is lost out there on D.
and he did like pietrus. he loved how he could play defense on the opposing powerforward to some degree, especially for a shorter player. that’s why he started him so often
by dso on Nov 18, 2008 11:42 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Nellie probably wanted to have the short leash on Monta
But every time he was about to yank him, Monta would go down on the other end and do something spectacular. Plus, he did pick up 1.5 steals a game last year, which we know Nellie loved. Maybe he was just jumping too many passing lanes because that’s what Nellie wanted. It’s been widely touted that one of the things that stood out in his rookie year was his defense, but that he has declined since then. Maybe that has something to do with the defensive emphasis from Nellie? Who knows… Monta is a huge plus on offense and a negative on defense which equates to an overall plus, which equates to a better chance of winning, which equates to Nellie giving the guy minutes.

Harrington for Powe????
Harrington would probaly give Boston a little extra experience off the bench, he would probably play VERY well knowing he was part of that franchise i.e. a happy player, plays better (Morrow versus Williams or Belli here is classic example).
Whereas Powe I think could develop with these other young guys into a key part of the squad. What would we lose from doing this? Boston probably gain as well dont they?
Other than contract required I guess for the Celtics to have to pay.

Harrington would bring nothing to the Celtics that is worth his salary and they’d have to give up more than Powe to make the numbers work.
I don’t think Harrington’s problem is his surroundings, that he’s actually capable of just deciding to play better than he has. His limitations (not an efficient scorer, not a rebounder, not a wing) aren’t things one expects that a new attitude will instantly cure after 10 years in the league where he consistently showed these limitations.
Boston gains bringing in a big contract for a guy who doesn’t sure up any glaring holes for them when there’s already up in salary and could wind up paying tax on the move. Lux tax for Harrington? When they can get cheap bench contribution from Powe?

But I do believe a player and in fact any sports professional has a huge change in capability depending on their “mindset”. Everytime you see a sports star just doing everything right, they look and sound pumped up and motivated.
I think when things go wrong, it’s clear to see body language and everything else simply says “I just dont want to be here”.
I hae to say, despite moving “home”, I think Baron looked like he just didnt want to be there on Saturday.
So….going back to the point of Belli and Harrington…best just to sit on them and see what happens?

Evidence would indicate that if this huge change in mindset were possible, doing something to bring it out is difficult. Players can rise and fall with surroundings and attitude, but more often than not, players are consistent. Guys who don’t rebound don’t rebound. It really doesn’t matter if it’s attitude or ability that holds this back if changing the former (in any prolonged, meaningful way) is almost as difficult as changing the latter.
(Please, don’t bother with a list of exceptions. Anecdote proves possibility but does not speak to probability.)
I’d trade Belinelli and Harrington if offered anything that doesn’t bring back cap baggage. Finding a taker on these terms may be difficult.
