New Orleans Hornets restricted free agent Marco Belinelli reportedly has interest from the New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors, according to a report from Eric Pincus of HoopsWorld.com:

[M[arco is looking at other teams.  The Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks have interest.

The report said that the Clippers had interest in the Italian guard but with the team expected to sign Suns free agent Grant Hill, it’s unlikely Belinelli would still be in their sights. Pincus reported that with the Bulls trade to send Kyle Korver to the Atlanta Hawks, Chicago could be in prime position to sign a crafty guard like Belinelli.

Belinelli, 26, had the best season of his career last year with the Hornets, averaging 11.8 points on 41-percent shooting in 29 minutes. He made $3.3 million last year and the Hornets will have three days to match any offer he receives.

    John Reid of the New Orleans Times Picayune reports that the Los Angeles Clippers have approached the New Orleans Hornets about a possible sign-and-trade for unrestricted free agent guard Marco Belinelli.

    The Clippers are apparently willing to part ways with seven-year veteran power forward Ryan Gomes and a second-round pick in exchange for Belinelli, but sources say the Hornets don’t appear to be interested because of Gomes’ $4 million salary, although he would be in the final year of his deal this upcoming season.

    Asked if the team was interested in bringing Belinelli back, Hornets general manager Dell Demps said, “I’m not a poker player, but I don’t want to show my hand.”

    Belinelli started 55 games last season in place of an injured Eric Gordon and averaged 11.8 points.
