Marco Belinelli: I want to play for a contender

[GREEK HORNET]

The Italian guard would love to return to the Hornets but also to play for a contender.

Nothing new, but here's the link..

Chicago was looking last season.

[All Metro]

"The Hornets as well want to bring me back and I feel like a god with them."

Interesting. I laughed

[bustah]

do the Bulls have enough cap to get him??

Maybe Heat? Spurs? Mavs if they go for Deron

[Pantazis76]

Good, cya later Belli!

[Unknown Poster]

Adios. He's okay but I never understood why people raved over this guy.

[Inner_GI]

Don't like him anyway, and, no, Bellinelli you are not a "God" here in New Orleans.

[42]

I wouldn't too upaet about an awkward translation of his quote intp English. Maybe he really said it, but there are other awkward bits, too.

[BallSoHard]

Don't feel strongly one way or the other about this guy. Great guy off the bench, but thats about it.

[GREEK HORNET]

Adios. He's okay but I never understood why people raved over this guy.

Maybe because he is truly a god. He defeated Ivan Drago! Remember?

[iNolaNightmare]

Gary Neal in FA, anyone?

[DroopyDawg]

but also to play for a contender.

Well Marco... maybe if you played/shot better the Hornets could be a contender. Peace cya later.

[ohnosono]

What could of been had he shown up for the Lakers series.

I don't know who translated it but it's such a stupid translations i'm at a loss for words..i'll translate it from the original

"E' la prima volta, però sono abbastanza tranquillo. La mia stagione è andata bene, ho migliorato tutte le mie cifre. So che c'è interesse da parte di varie squadre. Sicuramente gli Hornets mi vogliono e io con loro sto da Dio. Sarei contento di restare. Voglio vincere: quando sarÃ** ora di decidere penserò innanzitutto a un'organizzazione con l'obiettivo di vincere. New Orleans vuole fare le cose in grande. Ma di titolo è prematuro parlare. Ritorno in Europa? No, assolutamente. La Nba è casa mia. Dopo il draft del 28 giugno potrò capire qualcosa e spero di conoscere il mio futuro entro metÃ** luglio"

"This is the first time, but i'm quite calm. My season was fine, i got better in every stat. I know there's interest from various teams. I'm sure the hornets want me back and i had a great time with them. I'd be fine to stay with them. I want to win: when it'll be time to choose i'll think first and foremost about an organization whose objective is to win. New orleans is planning to do big things. It's a bit early to talk about a title. Going back to europe? Absolutely not. The nba's my home. After the draft on the 28th of june i'll be able to understand something more and i hope i'll know what my future is before the mid of july"

Believe me, this IS a correct translation, if not a perfect one, but the meaning is there.

2 quick points:
1: He never said he felt like a god with us - stare da dio in italian means = having a great time
2: He never spoke about a contender, he wants a team that wants to win, and doesn't rule out that the hornets are going in that direction

I don't like him much, never have, but that's just fair to him

[RaisingTheBar]

didnt want him back anyway.

[IamQuailman]

Yeah, that's clearly a BabelFish translation. lol

[Purple Haze]

Adios. He's okay but I never understood why people raved over this guy.

Agreed. I think people just miss Peja.

[Rheem654]

Hahhaa,,but how funny if he really said he felt like a god here.

[UNO Gracias]

Why would Chicago want him, Korver is a better shooter.

No offense Marco, but we want a shooter who can make a shot on this team.

Thanks man! Funny how things can get lost in translation and how easily people jump to judge.

Jujube rules.

Schiacciare!

Thanks Jujube.

Wish Marco the best. Wasn't a huge fan and he most certainly wasn't as accurate of a long ball shooter as we needed. He can land on a contender however I don't see him getting much playing time with one.

[AD23forMVP]

Marco or Willie?

[BP225]

Adios. He's okay but I never understood why people raved over this guy.

I think last year was his make or break year with the Hornets and he didn't make it, but if he made all the open shots he missed he'd be one of the league leaders in 3 point shooting. He definitely appeared to have elite shooting potential which is why people were excited/hopeful about him.
