Its Like Comparing Lee to Amare!
I once compared David Lee's and Stats game to one another and said that losing Lee's ability to rebound is worth what you get from Amare.....I was instantly bashed on that one!
Fast forward and you most agree that I was right
But enough tooting my own horn (seriously I'm not an arogant poster)!
I am one of the posters who believe that we should not trade for Melo because we have a shot at him outright and I stand behind that (despite this monsterous two game losing streak, LOL)....but assuming we do...then Gallo can be had!
Here's why
The reason why a lot of us like Gallo is his shooting and ability to spread the floor (much like we like Lee's tenacity on the boards) and parting with that for a lesser shooter seems dumb (much like paring ways with a Lee for a lesser rebounder seemed dumb)
Consider this....as good as Gallo is shooting and as good as he has been getting to the hoop recently, he is not better then Melo at it. Truth is Melo is better at driving then Gallo is at shooting!
Melo's ability to get to the hoop, draw fouls (he is a Superstar and will get calls Gallo won't) and finish (much better than that) is worth the drop off in shooting from 3....and lets not forget Melo will hit his share!
I believe we lose last nights game with Melo or not....but not Boston or Atl. (our two other most recent losses)
now who is packaged along w Gallo could kill this deal for me plus we could nab better pairs of FA's this summer as oppossed to just getting Melo....but that is neither here nor there!
If it comes down to just parting w/ Gallo...then I'd say do it! No way we part w/ Mr. Wilson tho!
