haha what a cool dude..
but wait, kingofny, does coach really get that much of a say in who gets moved
Have you not heard that Gallo has had special treatment from the organization since he was brought here? The coach has a lot of say in what happens within the organization... Way more than you think.
What special treatment? Playing time? He's been a high profile high lottery pick who's been producing at a young age.
His treatment has been pretty normal for someone like that. The only unusual thing has been how many people have been calling for his head since day1. Otherwise, he's a pretty courteous low-profile young lotto pick making his way.
You mean you haven't heard? A ton of past players have come out and said that Gallo is the "favorite" child of the Knicks organization. Click the link for proof. If you need more I can easily find it. I personally think Gallo and D'Antoni are almost too close... So close that it affects business decisions and that's not good. There's no reason not to put Gallo in a trade for Melo...none at all.

I remember reading that stuff. But it was also said that the vets respected Gallo, and thought he had a chill/humble attitude.
Cmon man, of course Gallo be a "favorite". He was a high lotto pick, and a rare non bust for us. Sweetney, frye, tons of mortaged picks.
Overblown. Course spurned dudes like Harrington make an issue once theyre gone, n they got the boot.
Its like...is Amare an org favorite? Sure. He gets away w a lot of shit too. Not necessarily an issue r big deal.
