Belinelli signs with the Kings 3 years 19mil
- Thread starter sidney
- Start date
This morning on the main sport magazine here in Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is an interview with Belinelli, where he explains why he decided to join the Kings. Some main points of what he says:
- he's really happy to come to Sacramento
- he says that when Valde Divac and George Karl want you, it's an honor
- he thinks that this is the right offer for him, after all the sacrifices he made during his career. From the bad years in Golden State and New Orleans, to the good year in Chicago and the 2 great seasons in San Antonio, an organization that he thanks for everything it gave him
- for the Kings he wants to be that important guy who brings his experience to the team. He also said he always had to fight during his career to prove people wrong (they used to say he couldn't play in the NBA), so this is the attitude he will bring to Sacramento
- he thinks this is a great challenge for him, a challenge he's ready to take at this point of his career, after he won the title in San Antonio
Nothing really special here, but I wanted to share with you his first interview as a King.

I'm not sure...
EDIT: Here's a link to a story about him: http://hoopshabit.com/2015/05/24/san-antonio-spurs-marco-belinelli-fill-potential-danny-green-void/
from the article:
"At 29 years old, Belinelli is probably about as good as he’s ever going to be. He’s not a very good defender, and the Spurs would be downgrading in a major way on that end of the floor. Belinelli’s 105.1 defensive rating was the worst among all Spurs who actually got regular minutes."
"Per NBA.com, opponents shot nearly three percent better on all shots they took when defended by Belinelli."- you can compare that to Ben which opponents shot 0.1% better than usual on, he is clearly a better defender than Belinelli.
Not a good defender, but a decent player all around...
