Gallo is either Bird Lite or Stiff Legged Euro. Could you please pick one or the other?

He is also "Stiff Legged Euro" especially since his back operation. More like "Stiff Backed Euro".

However, Gallo is an excellent player. He played guard and SF in Europe and guarded the opposing team's top outside scorer. He handles the ball like a guard, has great hands and body control, uses either hand when driving to the basket as did Bird, and yet now he is a Big. Gallo keeps growing and putting on weight. He looks taller than Amare.

Actually Gallo is "Bird Heavy" as he is taller and heavier than Larry Bird was when playing.

He is taller than Amare, who is more like 6'9.5" with shoes on.

obviously stiff legged

He's like a hybrid. The J isn't as deadly, the passes not as nifty and the rebounding is definitely not there. Still, I'm seeing glimpses

Did we not learn anything from Camby. Just keep working with the youth we already have and that all seem to have such talent and upside. I'm tired of making rush moves. For one thing who exactly are we replacing him with that is supposed to be so great anyway? Especially when you weigh the cost of that player. AR is cheap and still has too much latent talent yet to come out. I treat him like my 1st rd draft pick that i'm still developing and have no intent on sending away.

Very sensible. He's here, he does have skills. Let's not be talking about him tearing up the league on some other team. Send him out on the floor with specific mandates. If he drifts, pull him to the side and reiterate his role. As with any good recipe sample and adjust to taste.
