Looking back on the summer.

I still dont understand why we didnt lock up Monta and/or Biedrins. Both of their value is now sky-rocketing and all we can hope for is Baron Opting out. I truly valued Monta at about 10 mill a year before this season, and we could have signed him probably closer to 6 mill a year, but now it looks like hes going to get closer to that 10 mill figure, and reciece Kevin Martin money. Drop the Ball there in my opinion.

If we lose Monta, i will f'ing flip. It will be Gilbert Arenas all over again.

Ellis couldn't be extended even if they wanted to. Biedrins wanted 55M.

Monta isnt that special IMO... We can afford for him to walk since we have Belinelli.

Yeah, who needs the quickest guy in the league when you have a jump shooter with bad form waiting in the wings.

fter being selected #18 in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors, Belinelli dropped 37 points in his first NBA Summer League game against the New Orleans Hornets, going 14-on-20 from the field, including 5-on-7 from behind the arc [1], adding 5 boards, 2 assists and 1 steal to help the Warriors earn a 110-102 win. His performance is tied for second for the highest scoring game ever in Vegas summer league history, behind Keith Bogans' 38 scored as a member of the Orlando Magic in 2004. Belinelli finished his Summer League scoring an average of 22.8 points per game in 4 games with the Warriors, before flying back to Italy to be part of the Italy national basketball team for EuroBasket 2007.

He sounds good to me... Plus he played in Europe which is why he is so good.

Really...

...where would this team be without Monta, the only consistent guard on the team. Unless you count Barnes and Pietrus, who are consistently sucky. Monta can be a franchise player, but right now he's still sitting in the backseat with Baron driving and SJax riding shotgun.

...I really hope we trade Marco, cause I don't wanna see that kid waste away on the bench when he could have really helped a team out with at least 10 PPG off the bench in his rookie season...

Not sure what this has to do with my post. It doesn't say anything about Belinelli not being a jump shooter with bad form. :dontknow:

ok...now I know you're joking. Good one.

There are not many teams that can sign players for big money next summer and GS can match any offer plus pay the most so it was wise to be cap flexible.
