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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
