Marcol Belinelli Warrior's 18th pick lighting shit up

[Antonio_]

No problem. Oh, just out of curiosity, there's a young player who's making noise at the moment here. He's 16 years old, and he's 7'3. A monster, from the isle of Malta. The best clubs in Europe fought to acquire him this summer, and at the end Benetton Treviso won (the former team of Garbajosa, Bargnani, Nachbar, etc..). They say he can play bball too. We will see.

Personally, I'm glad the Warriors took him with that 18 making Crtitt slip all the way to 19.

if ur not gonna post anything related to the topic just shut the fuck up. mmmkay pumpkin?

what are the Warriors going to do with Barnes?

Heading into this offseason, the midlevel exception of $5.356 million seemed a realistic salary starting point in the eyes of many, including Matt Barnes.

In a departure from his usual steady, low-key approach, Barnes left agent Bill Neff, who had beaten many a bush over the past few seasons to get Barnes into veteran training camps, to sign with agent Dan Fegan, who just happened to have fellow Warriors Stephen Jackson and Jason Richardson (since traded to Charlotte).

"I was talking to a lot of people who were telling me that I needed a big-time agent to get that big money," Barnes said Wednesday evening. "That's the main reason I decided to change agents. It wasn't anything that (Neff) did or didn't do. We'll see if that was a smart decision or not. Basically, it was just me analyzing my situation."

Wednesday was the first day teams could sign free agents, and Barnes said he has not received the offers he anticipated.

"Right now, there's nothing happening," he said. "I was thinking the midlevel exception was realistic, but my agent has been telling me teams have questioned whether the success I had was because of (Warriors coach Don) Nelson's system and whether or not I could have the same success in another system.

"It's pretty frustrating because I thought I had a good year," said Barnes, who averaged 9.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists and shot 43.8 percent from the field, including 36.6 percent from three-point range, in 23.9 minutes per game during the regular season. "It was not a great season, but it was good. And from what other players have received, I thought I'd be right there in that mix. But Golden State has not come around to what I thought they might, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens."

^ Barnes is nice. I guess teams are worried that he's just another James Jones.

barnes will be smart to return to the warriors.  he will not flourish in too many other systems.  if that fool wants more money than is legit, let that nigga fall on his face on any other team.

Today i was here at a summertime camp with Gallinari, the other italian guy who will make it to the NBA draft next year (top 15-16, mark my words). I'm a friend of them cause my father is a former international ref, so i've met a lot of those players during the years (international players too). That said, i just checked the Official GSW site and there's nothing about Belinelli shooting 0/9. I was just curious. I know what can he do (and you should know it too: remember how the Italian national team sonned your team?), so it's not really a big problem. He can shoot.

Ok.

He's shooting 44% from 3pts tho'. Crittenton is shooting 25%, just to let you know. It was just a bad game.
