Belinelli: Cooler than Jason Kapono
Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo finalized another move yesterday in his attempt to revamp the squad, dealing pear-shaped loser Devean George (who has lost a lot of hair) to the Warriors for three-point gunner Marco Belinelli, who I’m guessing may be friends with Andrea Bargnani.
I love it, I love it, I love it. Belinelli struggled with injuries last season but was solid when healthy for Golden State, averaging 8.9 points and shooting 40% from downtown in 42 games. He had a particularly hot stretch in December, when he saw some time in the Warriors’ starting five and averaged 14.1 points while becoming the darling of a lot of fantasy leagues. Belinelli is also a former first round pick — 18th overall in 2007.
Overall, a nice little move by Colangelo to bring in a sharpshooter that should make anyone crazy enough to miss Jason Kapono…well, not miss him. Also, plus 10 for ensuring George never suited up in a game for Toronto.
