Gallo had some big games in NY, no doubt, but I don't believe there weren't too many games where he played at the level he did in Portland. Offense, defense, even passing. Lots of transition buckets. Is it the change in scenery? New teammates? The coach? The system? You could say the same thing about Chandler to a lesser degree. I've seen him play at this level but he did it more often than Gallo. Its only one game but it does make you wonder what is going on in NY?

He's free to take over games there. Knicks have Amear.
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

i don't see how anyone can look at two games, one where he didn't score much at all, and one good game, and conclude he's playing better already.

Gallo didn't fill up the box score in the first game but he did hustle and played some strong D. I agree that it's early but in that that second game he did things like that bounce pass in traffic in transition and taking it coast to coast more than once. Didn't see much of that in NY. He even tried posting up a defender, he rarely did that in NY.

Too early for this kind of post, but if it turns out to be true, I'll have to agree with this.

i think the point is that it's far too early to conclude much of anything about the impact of the trade on outcomes.

I was pretty firmly in the wait till the summer camp to sign Melo but I still believed that this trade was worth it because they didn't include Fields. Its not so much about the trade but why are we already seeing facets of his game that we didn't see much of in NY? I don't know the answer to that.

I still would do the trade even if he plays like this on a consistent level so I'm not impying that Gallo shouldn't have been traded. I just want to know why he is already doing things in Denver that we didn't see much of in NY?

We will be seeing more an more out of him, because he does not really have to defer to anyone there. I hope that Karl sees what the guy can do.

There was a thread about Gallo coming back to NY in the future- why come back to a team where he would be the 3rd option and probably have to come off the bench?

If he becomes the player he has the ability to become, and if he becomes the player guys around here WANT back, that will mean that he is probably not coming back. MDA will probably be gone by then, and that means he has even less of a reason to come back.

I'm glad that in this day and age it is easier to see players from other teams play, so I'll be able to see Gsllo play a lot, but I fear that I will become one of those crazy posters who is always complaining about certain things if Gallo becomes a star and I have to watch Melo and Amare putting up shot after shot in an ISO offense and then watch an f'n Jamison take Melo to the hole like a high school scrub.

I fear for my own sanity if this trade turns out to be a ineffective as I think it will be.

I think it's to be expected Gallo will be better in Denver, he's in contention to be top dog there. Though I don't think there was anything preventing him from being right behind Amear here - a role he's probably better suited to anyway.

I think you're right about gallo not being the first option. JR Smith seems to be picking up his game as well with Melo gone, but
there is still room for Gallo to get his in a deep Denver squad. I can see why you would be worried but I still believe that unless
Walsh gets fired and replaced with a Layden/Thomas clone that he will find the right parts to make it work.

That's a good point. Why wasn't he right there behind Amare? I honestly don't know. I also agree that he will fit in better in Denver.

Gallo is doing what Gallo does.

Hope so, but I have bad vibes, and I think a failure to live up to the expectations that Dolan/Isiah have for the roster they have given us, means that Walsh, and probably MDA, will be gone by the start of next season.

Only time will tell.

Gallo is gonna be the man there? Ha! Tim Thomas all day. 6 points one day, 30 points the next. Drives me crazy.

All the best to Gallo, we made the deal and cant go back. I hope he becomes a stud one day, same for Will. I am not going to cry about their success, not saying that op or anybody is but thats just how I feel on the matter.

Most Top dog became top dogs due to the fact that majority of the time they did not have a top dog in front of them. If Coach Karl uses him that way more power to Gallo to evolve to a better player.

Honestly, who the F### cares. He no longer wears blue and orange so what does it matter? I remember being devestated when Strickland was traded, but I was very happy later on in the year when we upset the Celts in the playoffs. In another year, after a few minor tweaks, the Knicks have a shot to be one of the top 3 teams in the east something that we couldn't stake claim to had we not pulled the trigger on thi deal.
