Blatch has the make up of a Diaw, just bigger and a little bit more talented. For what is basically a MLE deal, he would be a pretty good pick up. Gallo isn't as good as alot of knicks fans think and if Amare is at the five with Gallo at the four this team will always get killed under the boards.

I actually think Gallo is similar too Tim Thomas. Lots of talent but terribly inconsistent and content with being average.

Gallo is 22 and in the middle of his 2nd actual season of playing. How do you know that he's content with being average? It's amazing how impatient NY fans can be with our own players. The Guys played a total of 140 so far and I think he's had some inspired explosions at times against tough Comp. Learning to be consistent is something that young players tend to struggle with.

You can make all the excuses you like.

Gallo was billed as a more NBA ready player because he had begun playing ball professionally in his teens. He also was made out to be a high IQ player. He was also billed as a lights out shooter too.

Those things haven't proven to be the case and he appears no better than other young players around the league.

many start playing pro ball in europe in their teens, sixteen and you can join the 16 and under fiba tourny. thats why i laugh at i dont know what contraction is lebron. fiba size wise eclipses the nba. you a pro at 16 while in the nba there is a minimum age requirement.

back on gallo topic, why hate? add up all his faults he is STILL a good player. we lucky to have gallo, i think we can get more consistent play if we make him more a focal point of offense along with wilson. cause this SSOL is for the birds.
