The Knicks have reverted to a playground style, less cosmopolitan, less diverse, me-oriented set of mis matched parts.

Gallo was just finding his voice and a crowd favorite.

He will be missed

melo exerts his will on a game on a nightly basis. gallo plays a complimentary role and will exeret for a quarter every other game. HUGE upgrade, plus they play the same position. the loss of gallo is well justified in this trade imo. to give amear a partner go-to player is going to be huge.

I am a big fan of Gallo. I think he will end up being a very good player and I hope NY tries to get him back when he is a FA.

He is the one piece (maybe Mozgov too) that I did not want to be traded.

Thanks, Gallo. Now go out and show everyone that the Knicks made a mistake by including you in this deal.

The Rooster has flown the coop.

He will be missed.

So long, Gallo aka Rooster Stiff Legs aka Cock.

Gallo you are the man. I hope you come back to New York and drop 150 points on the Knicks.

I'm rather surprised that Chandler and Danilo were part of the deal...that is until I heard that NJ was willing to trade 1st round picks for Gallo. I figured it would be one or the other as they both play SF and that the other would be the teams sixth man. Someone even proposed a lineup with Danilo at the 2 and Melo at the 3 and that could have been reversed and still work. It's nice that Fields remains, but...

Gallo is the only player that I will really miss in this deal. but he plays the same position as melo, so i won't miss him that much plus he was going to get paid after next season anyway.

still say Gallo would have been a perfect 3rd guy but life goes on. Good player, liked watching him here. Looking forward to embracing Melo, who CHOSE this team and this town. That means something to me

Gallo was one of my favorite players and it sucks to see him go - maybe he will be back someday - who knows?

i'm gonna miss gallo. it was fun to watch him progress from just a spot-up shooter to a guy who was getting to the line 10times a game. definitely my most favorite knick since mason and i seriously hope he finds his way back here at some point in his career. he'd make a great 3rd option on this team right now...

For some reason, losing Gallinari stings a little more than losing David Lee

It just felt like Gallo belonged in New York (sigh)

Mr. Bartocci’s mother, Patrizia Carletti, made fresh pasta for him when she visited the restaurant last Thursday, and she noted how happy he was. On Tuesday afternoon, as the lunch crowd gradually left, she and the staff members said they felt just as empty as the restaurant.

“He’s always very nice, says ‘ciao’ to everybody,” said Alvaro Perez, 25, a waiter, who said Mr. Gallinari did not act like a famous basketball player. “He’s never like, ‘You guys are here,’ ” Mr. Perez said, lowering his hand to his knee, “and I am here. Everybody likes him.”

Neither Mr. Lusardi nor Mr. Bartocci had any fear of losing Mr. Gallinari’s loyalty. “It’s not a question of business,” Mr. Bartocci said, “but a question of friendship, of community.”
