if gallo's a PF, then are they not going to re-sign david?

Even if we eventually move Lee back to the 4, I think D'Antoni and Walsh are starting to realize both David and Gallo can co-exist in the same lineup.

Wilson has skills and certainly shows promise but I wouldn't mind if we sold high on him and got a piece that could be a bigger part of the future or present. He still gets outproduced by opposing players and while I wouldn't mind holding on to Wilson for longer, I'd move him if I could get a good return on him.

Gallo, in my opinion, is someone who would be a hell of a lot tougher to trade because of how much he is showing us in his 1st full year of playing time.

wilson's first year of PT, he averaged 14.4 pts, 5.4 rebs, 2 asts, and 1 blk and has shown to be able to play 35 mins a game.

Yeah but he shot 43% from the field and can't shoot at all from 3 point land. Gallo has a much higher efg% (both now and when compared to Wilson's first year) and is essentially averaging the same boards and blocks that Wilson did his first full year. That, plus Gallo being 6'10 and a year younger than Chandler, gives enough reason to give the edge to Gallo at this point.

fair enough but gallo also already missed a season b/c of his back and has had 2-3 instances of numbness in his shooting hand.

Very true and I think that is the only thing that can hold Gallo back from being an all-star type player. Still, I think he has so many positives that you still have to go with him over Chandler at this point. The good thing about Chandler is it looks like he has recovered from the ankle surgery.

The are different players. Both are versatile and can cover several positions but they have a different skill set. Chandler has turned into a very nice defensive player who can really score at a high rate near the basket. He doesnt have a great handle, is an average passer at best, limited court vision also. He's a really good finisher though and can play a legit 2/3/4 at any time in the game. Gallo has a much better handle, he's got range that totally stretches defenses and is a great passer. I think the two really compliment each other. Lee, Chandler and Gallo are a very solid rotation of guys to add too. You add your max FA type next offseason and possibly a play maker and this is a bigtime team that has the size and skill to matchup with anyone.

I still say after we sign Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Amare, etc that we trade JJ and Curry's expiring deals for Arenas to play PG

GALLO is more marketable, he makes all-star weekend in his 1st full yr.
