Have a feeling that Jackson is thinking this.They are similar in a number of ways, but Baker is bigger.
With Rose and Jennings, you don't need Gallo at PG, and he is small as a SG.
Would not mind him back, though, if we can work it out.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat - can we give Galloway a 1yr early bird rights deal? I'd do one year $6M in a heartbeat.
Why 6M? Is he worth that? Probably 3M at most.
We can give him a one year deal at more than he's worth to avoid giving him a long-term deal was my thinking...
But yeah, I think a fair deal for him is probably something like 3yr $10? Not sure. Hard to judge his value in this market.
For me Gallo hasn't deserved anything more than a $1M 1 year deal.
That's fair, I guess. His value is hard to pin down. I have a feeling that's why it is taking so long to get a deal done.
It's interesting that many people did not seem outraged that Lance Thomas got $6m but would be outraged if Gallo received that much. Why is that? Is it because Lance Thomas had a good shooting year? Every where else Gallo outperforms him. He rebounds better. passes better, has less turnovers, more blks, a better WS/48,VORP,& BPM. Gallo's problem last year was he shot too many mid range shots(Triangle) and did not make them at a high enough percentage. The year before he shot nearly the same amount of shots from >16-3pt and made 43.4%(vs.27.6%). He also so dipped slightly in his 3pt shooting but he shot more threes this year than the year before. The right coach would lower his mid range shots and increase his 3PAs. This with more improvement would make gallo even more of a still. He is a usefull rotation player now but could grow into an cheap above average combo guard. Jennings will be gone next year and Holiday may not even be good so the knicks need a player like Gallo for depth going forward on top of their need this year.
Like I mentioned in another thread. E'twaun Moore received $8m a year and he is on par and maybe below Gallo.
Yeah - like I said, I would be down to give him $6M for one year and hope he bites. Can we do a one and one deal with him as an Early Bird FA?
I would feel more comfortable with our backcourt if Langston was in the mix. Last year was the first time he played 82 games. His first season was really only 40 games or so. It may be that he just hit the rookie wall with his shooting. Maybe he can have a more consistent season shooting in his second go round at 82 games. If he can shoot 42% from 3 the whole season, he gets a lot more valuable.
I still remember that game in San Antonio the Knicks almost won. It felt like the game was slipping out of hand, Knicks down 8 or some and Lang got two quick steals that he took down for layups, one was an And One, kept them in the game.
In a lot of ways, Langston and Lance feel like the heart of the team. They're certainly the first two guys Phil brought in who stuck. Maybe Phil has a sort spot for him? We shall see.
