Doc Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) STEIN_LINE_HQESPN.com sources: Hornets and Raptors have also agreed to a separate trade that will send Julian Wright to Toronto for Marco Belinelli Edited August 11, 2010 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I like it. Julian Wright showed some potential in his rookie year, hopefully the Raptors young core will help him live up to that potential. Didn't really like Marco on the Raptors, seemed like he didn't fit in well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) I'd rather have just kept Belinelli and hoped that he was able to develop some consistency. I think that Belinelli is clearly more talented than Wright is and, to be perfectly honest, Wright seems like a scrub to me. I get that he is 23 and was held back in New Orleans as he didn't play much, but even when he did get a chance to prove what he can do at the NBA level, I never really came away all that impressed when watching him. Belli was also an expiring, granted a small one but an expiring regardless, while Wright has a $4M Qualifying Offer for next season and he clearly isn't worth anything near that. I don't think I like this move all that much. One reason why I can understand this trade is that Belinelli would get little to no playing time this year with Barbosa, DeRozan and Weems all getting somes minutes at the 2 and Jack, Calderon and Barbosa getting some minutes at the 1 as well. Wright will probably split minutes with Kleiza as the primary 3, with DeRozan and Weems getting some spot minutes there as well.

Newman Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I think both players are going to be a better fit to their new team so good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 [expletive]. this trade sucks for the Raptors. Bellineli is an amazing player that could shoot the ball pretty well. I do think he didnt get much playing time this season with the Toronto Raptors. Wright is tougher and is still a good player but Id prefer to keep Bellineli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
