marco bellinelli to nets??? http://www.hoopsworld.com/HeadlineStories.asp?hd=20081115&lc=NBA#STORY_13914
Kobi, any insight on Marco? Obviously, his sample size in GS is too small to judge anything by, so I'm looking for info from the Italian League
Great pickup if he does come to NJ. Like Carroll, he's mainly a shooter but he's younger and doesn't play the same spot as Simmons or Hayes, giving us even more versatility with the lineup. A lineup of Carter/Belinelli/Hayes/Yi/Lopez could be very dangerous.
well, that would suck for CDR..his time would be cut. that, and the Nets would win the award for most multi-cultured team.
Just saw your post War Poet...the kid averaged 16 ppg in one of the toughest leagues in the world at age 20. That should tell you enough about him. This isn't a Mile Ilic type pickup, based mostly on potential. This kid actually got meaningful minutes in Italy...and did very well.
If they get this guy I can't wait until they play the Jazz and him and Andre Kirilenko face off against each other.

I loved this kid in the draft and I hoped we would draft him. The only thing that would prevent me from thinking it is Sean getting shipped to GS is that they have a surplus of young PFs there. Plus, Anthony Randolph who they just drafted is essentially Sean Williams.
I hope Simmons or Hassell are part of a deal that would send them out. Harrington + Belinelli for Simmons + Sean? But then again, if Belinelli is complaining about playing time in Golden State, where is he going to get the minutes with the Nets? Carter/CDR/Ager Simmons/Hayes/Hassell Where is he going to fit in?
