We tried to do this and drafted Gallo, Sweetney and other bust players. If its championship or bust then OKC, Indiana, Clippers, Rockets, Chicago etc are all busts. If its trying to build a competitive team then building around Melo is the fastest way to build a competitive team. It's easy to say build around the draft but its much harder to do unless you are able to draft Duncan.

gallo is injury-prone and yet was immediately offered a 10 million dollar contract. i think you want to throw him under the bus with true bums just to be annoying. basically he was a decent number 6 pick. there's usually a big dropoff between the top 2 draft picks.

he's had a better career than both beasley and mayo, donthcha think?

I don't know if that really means much. With that argument, I could make Jerome James seem valuable.

well let me ask you this: ujiri is considered an absolute genius and he was the gm for that deal.

do you recall who the gm was who signed jerome james? and was that gm considered a genius?

I never said I disagreed with you. I'm saying the bold isn't much of an argument for Gallinari being good.

so you think ujiri made a mistake. the same ujiri who managed to gm the gallo gang to 57 wins and the same ujiri who managed to turn around the raptors in one year.

I realize you really liked those players but look at the words im typing. Just saying that Gallinari was immediately offered a 10 mil contact alone isn't a testament to how good (or bad) he is. That's why I made the Jerome James comparison. I don't watch enough Denver to speak on Gallinari but he hasn't exactly played much anyway.
