I agree that Belinelli would fit that big back-up PG that McCants wants, but I don't think he would cost McCants. I don't follow GSW closely, but I believe he is completely out of their plans, and has played a whole 8 minutes in their first five games. If we still have the HOU TPE, we should be able to get him for that alone. the fit is nice, since its 100% + $100,000, and I believe the TPE is $1.44 mil -- exactly his salry. He's guaranteed for next year too for $1.55 mil, since he's still on his rookie contract. We could waive Ollie, who would be picked up by some other team, or of course, waive Booth.

I'd do Carney for Sean Williams too.

Belinelli doesnt have very much skill as a PG at all. He is just undersized at SG so its best to have a ball handler next to him. Williams would be ok. But it looks like Love has been handling the weak side shot blocking duties pretty well, we just need a BIG center that can man up to the bigs of the west.
