i wasn't going to say anything but i was thinking the same thing. i still don't get the gushing over brook lopez, his scoring reminds me of the force-feeding that eddy that received a couple years back.

steph curry i will most certainly agree with though.. he was the one guy i really wanted in the draft and he's ballin now. oh well.

lol WASSup juice....

Wilsons skill set is more common that the stiff one's.

Gallo can bring somthing few players can do but he has to fulfil the promise.

Kukoc never did and Jordan/Pip hated the guy's hype.

ANd yeah, the guy is white. Isn't that what some of y'all want to hear? The undertones of hating on Dlee and Gallo is pretty obvious by a few.

My take is Wilson is a keeper but if a guy like T-Mac is healthy and we can trade Wilson for a point then we are better for that.

Problem is you can draft these guys, like Minny did with Ellington to play the wing. 6-11 shooters like Gallo are rarer.

Nalod hit it right on the head. We can't replace Gallo as easily as we can replace Chandler. I certainly like Chandler a heckuva lot, and want to keep him. But if letting him go results in Rubio being our PG for the next 6 years, it's a no brainer. Rubio is potentially a once in a generation type player (though limited in scoring potential) and Chandler has a skill set that we can easily replace.

Once Donnie does something up not then we can bring up who is more tradeable. Right now we aren't utlizing either as effectively as we can. Both guys are in space half the time when they should be aggressive. It's amazing how good they can be one night and then just fade into the background another.

ESPN has the Celtics discussing a big baby for dj trade that's something the knicks need to get involved with. And Brook Lopez was the selection over Gallo.

LOL, you really think we won't get anyone in FA?

if gallo's a PF, then are they not going to re-sign david?

David Lee gets torched as a Center by slow lumbering centers. You think David Lee at PF would be better? LMFAO the guy would give up 50/30 every game.

If we keep David Lee he must play Center for us.

He cannot guard anyone but he SURE as hell can't guard any PF in the game.

Also, that pretty little wide open mid range jump shot he has every game? If he's PF? KISS THAT GOODBYE because PF's will come out to guard him. He gets that shot because centers don't feel comfortable guarding the perimeter.

Lee at PF = disaster.

So, yes, quite possible we see

C-Lee
PF-Gallo
(now we dream)
SF-LeBron
SG-Joe Johnson?
PG-???????

Or, maybe DJ, just maybe we see

C-Bosh
PF-Gallo
SF-LeBron
SG-.....
PG-......

We just don't know....but to pencil Lee in as a PF is suicide. It's already bad enough as a Center.

This line of thinking is ridiculous. Come'on man.

- Gallo is intelligent, Chandler is dumb as bricks.
- Gallo is a dynamic player, Chandler gets lazy and chucks bricks.
- Gallo is a team player, Chandler tries to get his (and, sure, some of this is due to Harrington chucking, Nate Chucking, Duhon to Lee to Duhon To Lee, so I understand Chandler trying to 'get his' but he chucks like Harrington when it gets to that, and that's dumb.
- Gallo has the tools to be a star player - Chandler is already peaked in terms of skill (but will get more savvy as he gains experience)

There is ONE thing Chandler has over Gallo - and that's health. Gallo could be in a wheelchair in a year for all we know.

But, in the scope of comparing two young players - if you had to make a decision? You keep Gallo because the reward could be SO much higher in the end. Gallo has the ability to be a MUCH better player than Chandler in the end.

Chandler is already a poor man's Tayshaun Prince. Gallo could be Dirk.

So what would YOU choose? Prince or Dirk!?

Yeah....Dirk.

So there is why Gallo is considered more untouchable than Chandler.

Now, just to throw this out there, if both players we have right now - were to never change - were both at their ceilings - well then sure, Chandler is the one you keep.

As with anything there is uncertainty here.

gallo's potential to be dirk is no different than thinking frye was going to be duncan/kg. why cap chandler's potential but not gallo's?
