Belinelli-George trade

The Warriors confirmed Thursday that they have acquired wing Devean George from Toronto for guard Marco Belinelli. As part of the deal, the Warriors also receive cash considerations.

"We're looking forward to adding a veteran with Devean's experience to our squad," general manager Larry Riley in a news release. "He is obviously a proven winner and has been on several very successful teams during his career, which is something we feel is important when you look at the youth on our roster. He is a versatile player and someone who we feel can contribute both on and off the court."

George, 31, has played the last three seasons with Dallas after spending the first seven years of his career with the Lakers. Last season he appeared in 43 games for the Mavericks, averaging 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16.5 minutes. The 6-foot-8 wing has appeared in 86 playoff games, including four trips to the NBA Finals.

Belinelli, 23, appeared in 42 games for the Warriors last season, averaging 8.9 points and 2.1 assists in 21 minutes a contest. Originally selected with the 18th overall selection in the 2007 NBA Draft, Belinelli owns career averages of 6.2 points, 1.4 assists and 15 minutes in 75 games.
