You see Oklahoma questioning if they should keep/trade Jeff Greene even though they know he's a good player.

Gallo is our Jeff Greene.

Is he worth keeping vs his replacement when you consider what you can get for him. (I don't know what you can get for him, just guessing)

There is a huge difference between "should we trade Gallo" and "Gallo is horrible and should be released(slight exxageration)"

One is a valid question. One is pretty stupid

Well, through last year and early this year I thought he was pretty bad, I'll admit. My opinion at the time was that he was hurting the team. Now I just think you can make an argument that he's more valuable in trade.

Gallo's problem is that he plays for a coach that really wants guys shooting 3-pointers at a high volume. This kid could average 18pts in his sleep if he would just drive more and not settle for bad shots.

Gallo, although not my favorite player can take over a game at times and that's something that we really need. We have three top scorers and someone is going to get left out at times.

This is going to be a good stretch where he can watch the game and understand what he needs to do to take the next step.

good post... at least you can be fair and truthful about gallo despite not being his biggest fan..

After 35 games in New York his eyes look clear and he controlled himself after the vicious garb of his throat move by Artest

That was the most positive sign he has shown all season

His talent has never been a question

You couldn't resist that jab to Gallo Lite huh? Or did you mean **** eyed.
