TORONTO (AP) -- The Toronto Raptors have added guard Marco Belinelli and center Rasho Nesterovic to the roster.

The team announced Thursday that it had acquired Belinelli from Golden State in exchange for forward Devean George and cash considerations. Free-agent Nesterovic signed a one-year, $2 million deal.

Belinelli was the 18th overall pick in 2007 and appeared in 42 games for the Warriors last season. The Italian averaged 8.9 points, 2.1 assists and 1.7 rebounds.

Nesterovic rejoins the Raptors after spending a season in Indiana. The 7-footer averaged 6.9 points and 4.6 rebounds while playing 151 games for Toronto from 2006 to 2008.
