I've really never understood this. Most Knicks fans will crap on Chandler way before Gallo when as of right now Chandler is well ahead in development over Gallo. The only thing Gallo does better than Chandler is hit the 3. Light yrs behind Chandler in creating his own offense and finishing at the rim, he's also behind him defensively.

Not to mention, Gallo has the best +/- on the team, spreads the floor for our offense, and has been holding opposing SF's to an efg % of under 50%.

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.

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

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.

Gallo has been getting most of his minutes at the 3 and he is doing a good job.

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.

d'antoni's offense looks like this

pick and roll guard
wing who can shoot
wing who can shoot
wing who can shoot
pick and roll big

gallo fits into the "wing who can shoot" category.

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.

Wilsons skill set is more common that the stiff one's.

Gallo can bring somthing few players can do but he has to fulfil the promise.

Kukoc never did and Jordan/Pip hated the guy's hype.

ANd yeah, the guy is white. Isn't that what some of y'all want to hear? The undertones of hating on Dlee and Gallo is pretty obvious by a few.

My take is Wilson is a keeper but if a guy like T-Mac is healthy and we can trade Wilson for a point then we are better for that.

Problem is you can draft these guys, like Minny did with Ellington to play the wing. 6-11 shooters like Gallo are rarer.

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.

We couldve had Stephen Curry for Chandler. Chandler is a nice player but for the TEAM we could've used Stephen Curry much more. Same with Brook Lopez-Gallo is a nice player but we couldve used Brook Lopez more. This team honestly could be much different--we wouldnt have to be trolling for Tracy Mac right now.

Because he's 6'10 and can hit the 3. Personally, I think Chandler is a better all around player and has more upside on the right team.
