The Golden State Warriors have agreed to trade Marco Belinelli to Toronto for Devean George, league sources tell Y! Sports.
We've just been robbed. I think we could have gotten someone way better than Devean George. What is the front office thinking?!

More like the Garko trade in how little effect it’s going to have, sure, but more like the Sanchez trade in how lobsided it was.
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 9:08 PM PDT up reply actions
this is not like the two Giants trades
At least Garko and Sanchez are now the best 2B and 1B we have (and probably the 2nd and 3rd best hitters on the team).
Devean George is our 15th man.
"We Deserve"
I heard we were saving money and not keeping 15….so he’s our 14th man. :)

Garko is the fucking franchise. Ok, he’s our future. Start your MVP chants now. I just get my Garko jersey today.

The guy was hitting .274 a week ago and his batting average went up to .285 because of the left-handed pitching he saw. The Indians faced nine consecutive straight left-handed pitchers.

“I just get my Garko jersey today.”
For your sake, I hope not. If you’re going to drop dough on a jersey, I hope you at least have enough sense to get a good player, like Lincecum, Cain, or Sandoval. Heck, Jonathan Sanchez isn’t even good but at least he threw a no-hitter so he’ll be remembered.

I’m sure Marco wanted to play with Bargnani and vice versa. I don’t think this was to improve our team at all. We weren’t going to use Marco, other than as trade bate anyway. He’ll be happy in Toronto and get MUCH more playing time. It’ll fun to watch them now. This is good for the NBA, as Italian fans will be huge on one particular team. It’ll be cool
good for marco
even though i like the warriors. now he can go and play. Oh ya and what happens if morrow isnt what everyone thinks hes gona be.

What does that have to do with anything?
People post mock rosters because they care about the team and want to figure out how roster changes will affect it. While the effects of this trade may be minor, jandaman! is obviously interested in figuring out what the result may be.
What’s the point of calling out someone for being too interested in the team? Its not like he’s dissing a player or suggesting a turrable trade (i.e. Maggette for Wade or Beans for Bobby Jackson and a Tab). My suggestion: save the fire for the really bad comments.
Mock Rosters are sooo fun! I'm gonna throw one up now

Yeah, because SF is a spot of need for this team
I mean, it’s not like that’s the position Stephen Jackson and Maggette play….
And if you use the “Oh, they can play PF” argument, where do Randolph, Wright and Turiaf (AB and Turiaf combine for more than 48 minutes) play?
Marco wasn't going to get minutes with Warriors anyway.
Now the Warriors have a expiring contract to use in a trade.
But Marco already was an expiring
The guy had a team option- that’s even better than an expiring. Plus, this team already has Claxton and Law who can combine to get someone.
dprodigy19 how could we
trade Claxton and Law when they both haven’t played in the past two years and haven’t proven themselves. Claxton has proven himself from years past but not recently from those injuries
If you're trading expirings like Devean George
You’re not doing it because the other team wants him- you’re just doing it to save them money in the long term, getting talent in return.
There’s a reason why Raef LaFrentz was a valued asset at the deadline last year, and most of me doubts it was his balling ability.
The team option was something they’d have to exercise prior to the start of the season. Not optioning it means his only value is as an expiring contract.
But Jae, are there any arguments that his value as "just an expiring" would be less than George's?
Marco makes almost identical $, is a better player, and is younger
We’re dumber than the Giants.

So we traded all future “Marco is a gonna be a star” and “Marco is an awesome PG, just look at this 8 cherry picked game sample” to Toronto for an expiring contract? Works for me.
Thing A
Was Marco not an expiring contract? It looks to me like we just gave him away for nothing in return. On a side note, if there’s one NBA player that can rival Kirilenko for Missing Barry’s hatred, it’s Devean George.
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 7:57 PM PDT up reply actions
so we swapped end of the bench expiring contracts and got older, worse offensively, slightly better defensively, and slightly bigger. OMG EVERYBODY FREAK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORST TRADE EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thing A
We just swapped end of the bench expiring contracts, and gave up a guy who might be able to do something and is still young and can improve for a player that does not bring a single positive skill to the table. George is awful, I cannot emphasize that enough, and at this much he doesn’t even provide a whole lot offensively. Granted, it will probably be pretty inconsequential (though with injuries maybe not), but this is the first real move to judge Riley on, and it’s a resounding F. And I hate Devean George, so, so much. So yes, I am extremely upset.

Although when he was on the Lakers, he seemed to contribute on the boards w/ put back ands and occasional 3 pointer! I think he’s a SF, but plays pretty big! My concern is that he’s far from his days w/ the Lakers! I don’t even recall if he did much w/ the Mavs!
In comparison, I hated Fisher when he was on other teams, but loved him as a Warrior! If George sticks around, hopefully he gives me a reason to like him on our team, when I use to hate him on other teams!
Geeez Louf*ckingweeez!!!

What we got in return is a player who will sit on the bench and attract no criticism because of it. Dub fans were always complaing about Marco sitting, Marco was probably unhappy and Nellie probably wasn’t happy dealing with it. I think it’s good for the team. Not so much for the fans in a way. We didn’t lose much, though. I don’t care. We have Morrow, Jack and Buike to play the 2.
well
it happens to be that the AP recognized his 15 game stretch even though you guys don’t want to.
TK was very right about this deal.

every1 calm down lol
Its not like we traded randolph for kyle Korver. I really don’t think they would do such a trade without reason especially if Riley is as conservative in deals as he claims he is. Marco was not gonna play much anyways. Also, they will probably either ship out his expiring or buy him out.
I never thought much or bellinelli anyways. It seems toronto is making the all Europe Team exept for bosh.

omg i wouldve taken marco over george any day of the week.
devean is trash… i hated him on the lakers and hated him even more on the mavs. He is just one of those guys that looks good because of the team he is on. After the lakers, u didnt hear to much about him….This is ridiculous. what the hell is he going to do for us. Seems like a boneheaded decision by the dubs FO. I hope that they prove me wrong.
He is just one of those guys that looks good because of the team he is on.
No, he even looked bad on the lakers. I have no idea what our front office is trying to do with this one? Marco at least had some utility as back up. Does this mean we’re matching the offer for CJ?

Give me one reason this trade makes sense. Just one. There is not a single one. Even if Marco doesn’t get minutes, you don’t just give him up for a significantly worse player (who could be the worst player in the NBA).
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 8:07 PM PDT up reply actions
Give me one reason why losing your mind over trading Marco Belinelli away from this team makes sense. Just one. I’m not saying I love this trade, but I don’t believe George’s expiring deal has much (if any) less value than Marco.
Thing A
Because of Freddie Sanchez. Because I hate Devean George. Brian Sabean. It’s been a bad day. :(
But seriously, if I was actually analyzing this trade, my question would be…why? There just isn’t a reason. I wasn’t planning on giving Riley much of a chance anyways, but now might look like I’m actually right. Belinelli might never play, but the 1% chance something happens and he gets significant minutes is enough to be like…wtf.
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 8:13 PM PDT up reply actions
y’re missing two trades then …
Sanchez is going to make the SFG better now, Alderson might have made them as good as they are now if he’d reached the majors later
Marco was not, is not, and would never have lived up to the hard-ons so many on this site had for him whether at SG or more poignantly at PG, while George is depth at SF and an expiring – both assets that will likewise make this team better now
First of all, I did the analysis in this post on why Sanchez was a bad value. Alderson was worth more than Sanchez is going to give the Giants. Unless Sanchez is a 4 WAR a year guy for the Giants, he will not give us equal value, and even then, the downside risk of him underperforming compared to the minimal chance he overperforms still keeps it from being equal.
Second, I agree about Marco, I was never a huge fan. But he is unquestionably better than George, and has almost the exact same contract. This move put $1.6M in Cohan’s pockets, and that’s all it accomplished. As a team, it will likely make no difference to the Warriors, but in the improbable chance the injury bug hits us hard, it will make us worse. Period. There is no argument.

How did this move put $1.6M in Cohan’s pockets? We’re paying George the exact same as we would have paid Belinelli.

by fuller over bryant on Jul 30, 2009 10:36 AM PDT up reply actions
first there is WAY too much noise in this thread for me to find your analysis, and we disagree – Sanchez is going to pay dividends now, while Alderson might have later
second, we’d have to have injuries to Monta, Morrow, Curry, KAz, AND either Jackson or Maggette for Marco’s absence to even be a blip on the radar
sorry MB, but the angst over Marco on this site is off the charts, I’m not trying to pick a fight with you personally, just see things differently on today’s transactions
True, clearly overreacting to the trade, it’s really not much of a big deal, but I still hate it. Basically the baseball analysis part – Sanchez has to be worth 5 wins (total, which means abut 4 wins a year) to equal Alderson’s expected value (which takes into account the high probability he turns into nothing). Sanchez is 31, put up a total of .4 WAR last year, and is on pace for maybe 3 WAR this year. It’s very unlikely he gives us equal value. Very, very unlikely.
I don’t mind the concept of trading Alderson. The fact that we traded Barnes and Alderson and got back Garko and Sanchez, though, is completely awful. They would have been the nice start in a package for a legitimate All-star.
by Missing Barry on Jul 30, 2009 6:46 AM PDT up reply actions
agreed on the last part, but what legit All-star is really available that would help us and at a position that we need, and that we could have gotten for B&A? this is the wrong thread for this obviously … anyway, this trade really is a breath of fresh air for MB, he gets a chance to prove he should stay on this side of the pond with a team that he couldn’t have picked a better situation if he’d engineered the trade himself.
There’s never a wrong place for Giants discussion. Victor Martinez is someone that comes to mind, and we know the Indians are making anyone available (for cheap, too, based on Cliff Lee). I’d rather gone after him instead of Garko/Sanchez.

Marco Belinelli's Biggest Fan
Last year, per 36 minutes, he averaged the following:
7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, .8 assists, 1.2 steals, .6 blocks, .9 turnovers, 2.9 fouls. He doesn’t do a single thing! His TS% was .485. 29% from 3 point range. 38% FG overall. I guess he did shoot 77% from the line, on 1 FTA per 36 minutes…

George is also a forward though. If you want to compare stats that vary drastically from position to position why not look at turnovers too?

for Brandan Wright. If they are willing to give Bellinelli up for a scrub, does the same happen to Brandan? We all know that Nellie wants to clear all of Mullins draft choices.
Now I ask the following: What the “HELL” is Devean going to do for our team? Did we just trade so that he could be a bench warmer?
At this point I am willing (as much as it hurts me to say this) to have Brandan back up Randolph, but please dont trade him. He still has upside!!!!!

How do you figure: “We all know that Nellie wants to clear all of Mullins draft choices.” – ? from one trade?
Devean is going to be depth at SF and an expiring contract for our team.
Devean Freakin George??
Just when you think the Warriors are starting to get their act together somewhat after AR and SC fall to them two years in a row in the draft, we are reminded about the idiots in the front office who have zero clue..

But it’s still no reason to give him up for nothing. Why not let him ride the bench here, see what happens, and if nothing does, let his deal expire?
Exactly, I don’t care much about Belinelli, I just don’t see the point of this. If we just let him sit on the bench and his contract expire, great, that’s better than trading him for Devean George. If we plan on using their expiring contracts for trades, they have almost the same contract, so that accomplishes nothing. In fact, trading for George puts restrictions on our ability to trade him for a while, if I’m not mistaken.
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 8:17 PM PDT up reply actions
Like I said above, I don’t recall seeing George play at all last year, but I’m guessing he’s probably our 2nd best perimeter defender. Does this team not need to get a little better defensively?
On our roster are we more likely to see injuries open up minutes at SF or SG?
Thing A
I hope we don’t open up minutes for Devean George. I prefer winning…
Ok, in all seriousness, even assuming George contributes a bit on defense, you can read the numbers he posted last year. Those were insanely bad, to the point where you can’t even argue against how bad they were. Does that not support that Devean George is very, very not good? He averaged 16.5 minutes a game over 43 games to do that, so it wasn’t like a bad 10 game stretch or anything…
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 8:22 PM PDT up reply actions
I have yet to argue that George is anywhere near decent offensively. I also have yet to argue that its a GOOD trade. (well for me it is because I hate the “Belinelli is awesome!!!! threads” that pop up once a month) I’m just saying that Jackson, Buike and Maggette are a whole lot more likely to go down with injuries next year than Morrow, Curry, and Monta. We got slightly bigger and probably worse. I highly doubt Belinelli had more trade value than a similarly sized expiring. The impact either guy will/would’ve had on the team is so miniscule that this is certainly not worth getting upset about.
Thing A
Well, it’s a bad trade, and probably miniscule and not worth getting upset about. Never said I was being rational about this (just temporarily for my one comment below). I’m upset because of what the Giants did, and this just made it worse.

I’m with you on the Giants deal…..that one blows my mind. I was just starting to like Sabean.
Thing A
What it comes down to is this. Today, it was like the Giants kicked me in the balls. As I fell down from said kicking, I bumped my head on the ground. That was the Belinelli trade. Really not a big deal, but come on, it’s just making a bad day worse.

I’m just saying you didn’t bump your head that hard. Complaining about the swift kick to the balls will pretty much earn you sympathy until the end of time, but stop being such a wuss about your head. : )

“all the other big time posters”
That phrase made me laugh. I can’t quite explain why, but it’s just one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read on the interweb. Just being realistic here, Belinelli probably didn’t have any more trade value than what we got ($1.6M). Maybe a little more, I could see Cohan vetoing a slightly better trade that costs him money and instead taking the cash from Toronto, but definitely not a big difference.

If you read the comments in this thread you’d know that I was clearly the first person to come out on the side of “calm the f down, this trade is completely meaningless and thus not horrible.” Atma’s thread came quite a bit later. Who are the other “big time posters”? Missing Barry isn’t one? We clearly disagree (though its a small disagreement) on this trade. Like Atma, WS110 and hardcore came in much later with opinions similar to mine. Sleepy is with Missing Barry opposing this trade and jae seems to be leaning that way slightly as well. I assume these are the “big time posters” you mean. In the same thread I’ve now been accused of being a “contrarian” and “just going with the cool thing every single time.” Its hard to take your comments seriously when 90% of what you write is consistently false.

ITS A HORRIBLE TRADE!!!
OMG, this is HORRIBLE!!! We almost traded the farm for a one-eye Amare, not this!
Larry Riley is tearing down the team!!
ugh
We traded a guy who was gonna be lucky to get more than 200 total minutes next year for another guy who probably won’t get 200 minutes. Neither guy was/is gonna be with the team after next year. The guy we got is older and worse offensively. The guy we traded away is smaller and worse defensively. The contracts are similar. Its not a great trade. Its also not a horrible trade. Its probably a little bit closer to bad as we gave up the younger player, but neither guy would/will have much of an impact on this team. Ever. Just calm down. I think I need to leave this thread as attempting to talk all those who possess irrational Belinelli love off the ledge is giving me a headache.
Thing A
Sam, just for your sake, I’ll give you a little bit of rational thought here. Marco is not that good, it’s not a terrible thing that we traded him. In the end, the trade will likely be completely inconsequential. You’re right. But facts are facts, and Marco is a much better player. He was a significantly more efficient scorer last year, while averaging almost twice as many points per 36 minutes. Slightly less rebounds, but they’re probably equally bad for their positions considering Belinelli is a 2 and George a 3. Belinelli averaged over 4 times as many assists per 36. More steals. Less blocks! .6 to 0! More turnovers for Belinelli, same number of fouls. I’d put them on a pretty equal defensive field – George is slow and old at this point, and I never thought he was great (though obviously he did contribute). But yes, again, it’s probably inconsequential. It’s just…why make it? Belinelli is better and younger. Contracts are basically equal. What’s the point?
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 8:32 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
again, who is more likely to get hurt? Jackson, Buike and Maggette or Monta, Curry and Morrow? at 3 inches taller and 30 lbs heavier I’d argue that even if George has slowed significantly in the last year+ I’d still argue he’s much better suited to defend big 2’s and 3’s.
Thing A
Eh defensively I think Morrow and Buike can do fine, at least against big 2’s and normal 3’s. I guess if you’re thinking more along the lines of big 3’s like Turkoglu or Rashard Lewis or something, you might have a point. If George rebounded well for a 3, I’d be more inclined to agree with you. Maybe last year was a fluke, he was better before that…
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions
doesnt matter
cuz devean george can’t play…so we insure our guys with junk?
in our system belinelli could cover the 1, 2, and 3 spot.
Jackson is fine at shooting guard and so is Kelenna Azubuike if he needed to play there. Shooting guards and small forwards — there really isn’t that much of a difference.

I’m waiting to see if George can play a little bit of physical defense first. If (he doesn’t get bought or traded and) he plays just a little tiny bit of tough d, happily sits the bench, and continues to not turn the ball over very much, I think the trade is fine. If he doesn’t, we didn’t give up anyone who was ever gonna contribute here.

For his position (assuming he’s a 3), George was an adequate rebounder up until last season when he appeared to become terrible, just terrible.
It’s probably an inconsequential trade, but we got the short end of inconsequential.
Random question. Maybe you’ve posted this information before, but I’d find it interesting if you made a post where you just gave us the average numbers for each position – per 36 rates and shooting percentages and the like. Or is that information easy to find somewhere like basketball-reference? I’m pretty new to the basketball stats, so unlike baseball where I have a feel for what’s good/bad/average, I really don’t know have a very good idea what average rates are….

it is terrible
I can’t see any upside in this trade whatsoever. It boggles the mind.
We traded a young lottery talent with potential (no matter how small or large) for a bad player at the tail end of his bad career.
The franchise didn’t save any money. We didn’t trade for a better contract. If anything, Belinelli’s was better because it included restricted free agency.
Yeah in terms of actual basketball talent, maybe we didn’t lose much. But at the very least, we lost a potentially valuable trading chip. For nothing.
"We Deserve"
I can’t see much downside in this trade either. The overreaction to it boggles my mind.
what makes you think Belinelli was a valuable trade chip?
Thing A
the fact that Toronto wanted him and we need Chris Bosh! We could’ve held on to Marco until at least the trade deadline to see if we could package him and get something better..
"We Deserve"
Yeah, we know nothing more about how much Toronto wanted Belinelli than before this trade. It’s like if someone offered you free pie, of course you say yes. Does it mean you like pie? I don’t know, it doesn’t matter, it’s free!

Maybe its just me, but I feel like I hear him say both those things every time he’s interviewed, though “due dilligence” has become an increasingly popular term among GMs in all sports. We’re not communicating with each other very well on this thread, and somehow I think most of the blame falls on me.

well look at it this way: We had NOTHING to lose by keeping Marco until the trade deadline. If Toronto wanted him, we had at least some leverage.
If Chris Bosh goes nuts this season and demands a trade, at least we know we have SOMETHING they want from us. Of course the package wouldn’t be built around Belinelli as a centerpiece, it would probably be Ellis or Biedrins.
I just can’t think of any reason why the Warriors would do this trade.

he was a main part of deals for raja bell or amare which happen to be much better players than george.
Marco Belinelli's Biggest Fan
The upside for me is getting to see how Marco does, when he actually PLAYS. He may even help the Raptors get a couple more wins. He wouldn’t have done that for us. He was irrelevant to the Warriors, almost. Now that we have Curry and want Morrow to develop, he would’ve been worse than irrelevant. We would’ve been developing a player who wasn’t going to stay with us. We did right by Marco and by our other players. I am excited to see how Marco does, personally. I think he’ll about average or below, but he’ll have highlights. Fun.
We just gave away a younger, superior talent
George is DONE, and likely waived. THis trade was done for CASH
yep, extra cash in a trade of two guys who weren’t/aren’t getting any minutes anyway. we lose on the talent end of this, but trading davidson for me would have amounted to about as much in the short term and long term if the team had done that last year. it’s a pretty meaningless trade.

Hey Warrior Fan!!
Get off your own players nuts for just a second, Marco was going to be glued to the bench if he had stayed, period Next, George has an expiring contract and won’t get his panties in a bunch if he’s not playing (unlike Marco). Marco had his chances but Morrow beat him out! Now Steph Curry, Morrow, StackJack, Maggs, and Monta can get the proper minutes without inner team conflict
So because we’re not going to play him, it makes sense to trade him for a worse player we won’t play?

i agree, nice gesture.
Toronto wanted Marco for a long time, his friend Bargnani is there. They both playing in Italian National team.
Who knows what will come next? Bosh for AB and Maggs to make it even?
exactly, today’s Giants/Pirates swap shows that professional sports teams DO remember if they owe another franchise anything from a previous trade. If Belinelli turns into Jason Schmidt I fully expect to get Barganani’s deal dumped on us in a couple years and then, a couple years later, get an early lottery selection in exchange for a salary dump.

I think we will have a buyout similar to Wallace in Phoenix. If not he can be trade bait packaged with Wright. But yes teams seem to have valued Marco much more then us and we could have gotten much better. Overall this has no affect on us and a huge effect on Toronto. I honestly no little to nothing about his personality, maybe he is a good guy in the locker room? But I know he is VERY SLOW now so Nelly will not play him in a FAST break offense.

By Dec., they’ll all be trying to remember what a basketball feels like, after picking splinter’s out their ass for the whole season (if their not shipped out of town prior to season’s end). They did Marco a favor, you “Homer” fans should be happy he can actually go play somewhere. If you think they could have got a better deal, name it!!! I bet you can’t. Face it, Marco sucked

True, #4 overall, I meant to say #2 pitching prospect.
by Missing Barry on Jul 29, 2009 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions
I could care less what Alderson becomes. Given the unpredictable nature of prospects, it’s a bad way of thinking if you only judge on whether the prospect pans out or not. Here’s an alternative approach:
Alderson, as a top 25-50 pitching prospect in the minors (2 weeks ago Baseball America pegged him as such), is worth somewhere between $12.1 and $15.9 million dollars in trade value. In essence, this means the pieces we have to get back give us that amount of value, in addition to enough value to cancel their contract out. We owe Sanchez about $10M over this year and next, so he has to give us about $22-$25M in value, which is about 5 wins. Sanchez is already 31, having a better year this year than he did last year, and still is not on pace to be that valuable of a player. This was a TERRIBLE trade valuewise for the Giants.

Trade Details
Marco’s contract was fully guaranteed this year, George’s is not. This gives the Warriors 11.6M in expiring contracts this year, including 8M to Speedy and George that can be bought out this year. Utah is looking for cap relief this year. Boozer makes 12.6M…
…here’s to hoping.
If nothing else happens this summer...
we could be players come the deadline in February.

"It takes a special kind of anti-mojo for a team to miss the playoffs 14 out of 15 seasons. Like, say, the Warriors under Chris Cohan."

the more i think about it the more i realize Marco is a 3rd string pg/sg on our team. I think I now officially dont care anymore how bad of a deal it was for us even if we are trading a 3rd stringer for a 4th stringer.
that's exactly how i've looked at this

I don’t get it. Just because we are only changing backup players doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter if it isn’t a good move. Unless, and I doubt either of these would be the case, some team that we are going to make a big deal with was coveting George and will trade with us now that we obtained him or some free agent would only play here at a low price if we had George, I just don’t get it. We have Jackson, Maggette, Azubuike, and potentially Randolph at the 3, and in Nellie’s lineups I’m sure Morrow might even see some time there as well. So, while we do have an excess of guards, it’s not like we had a dearth of small forwards (that’s what George is right?). I just don’t see a single way George will be better for us than Belinelli would have, or how George could be a better trading piece. George is growing farther away from his prime every day, while Belinelli is growing towards it. I just don’t get it.
I don’t care if it makes us ONLY slightly worse. The question that should be asked after every trade should be, how does this trade make us better, either now or in the future?
I would love to hear why this trade makes us better, because I don’t see a single way, so someone make me feel better about it.
It means a lot to make a good move:
This move made no sense. Marco was a trading chip, they just showed us they don’t have a plan.

Think how Pacquiao is to all the Filipinos in the Bay Area. Now switch Belinelli with Pacman, and the Filipinos with an italian guy ?
But Pacman is good?

Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand."

Cartier Martin
Just a hunch, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the W’s said “adios” to George to clear a roster spot for Cartier Martin. He’ be cheap, and he has potential.
I was at 4/5 Summer League games in LV, and Martin looked really good. He’s a slightly bigger version of Kelenna (last year measuring at 6’7, 220, though I think he’s bigger than that now). He’s cut like a mack truck and he can rebound decently and hit the 3. He was our #3 scorer at LVSL, and he looked good. Averaged 21 pts and 5 rebounds in the D-League last year, and before that played with Beasley at K-State.
I think he went to Italy....
Maybe Lawrence Hill? How did he look?

You're right. Durn.
Benetton Treviso inked with a multi-year deal Cartier Martin. The American player spent last season in NBDL with Iowa Energy with whom he averaged 20.6ppg and 5.4rpg and in NBA with Charlotte Bobcats scoring 2.6ppg.
Martin has already played in Europe, with Antalya, in Turkey, averaging 9ppg.
