He fits with the core. Decent value

Notice how close this was kept to the chest, and the signing wasn't broken by Woj.

Ken Berger...they're all in the same circle.

I like it.

He's a 39.2% 3PT, career-wise.

I don't think this is an overpay, $6M per year is pretty good for a shooter off the bench, especially with the new cap

He's better than nothing. He will add some depth to the bench, but don't expect him to shoot the ball as well on this team.

That's encouraging. I really hope Boogie's onboard with what they're doing.

Hopefully they're still tweeting one another in April.

Awesome signing, numbers look right. Not a great one on one defender but underrated team defender who is great at putting himself in good positions. Takes charges, thinks a step ahead of the play. Nice player, nice fit. Kudos.

One thing I'll add that has not been mentioned here about Marco.. It's his ability to play without the ball. Marco is great at recognizing when to make backdoor cuts and he's a very good finisher around the basket. However, don't mistake that with being able to take contact and finishing. It's just that when he goes backdoor, and he gets the ball, he's great at finishing it by putting it up quick.

Underrated part of Marco's game is also his passing/vision. Early in his first season with us, he was often compared to Manu because of how he plays. However, as the season goes on, he was doing less playmaking and was more used as a shooter than anything else because his passing/vision isn't exactly elite. It's just good enough..

Rondo and Marco pairing should work great because of how they fit with each other.

@BlakeEllington: Marco Belinelli on the Kings: "With this system, with this coach and with these teammates I think it's going to be fun to watch us."

@BlakeEllington: More from Belinelli: "I'm ready to do everything ... If I'm going to be in the starting 5 or come off the bench, I don't really care."

@BlakeEllington: Belinelli on Kings fans: "I know that Sacramento fans are really good ... They're very close to the team and I think it's going to be fun."
