Why is everybody on Gallo's nut satchel?!
He's not that good. I'd take Amare, Ray, Wilson Chandler, and Landry Fields before Gallo.

I don't think they're going to be able to put together a package to get Melo in Charlotte. New Jersey seems like the most likely destination for him unless he becomes a total douche and demands a trade to New York.
If Denver is going to get rid of Melo they have to totally rebuild. So get rid of Anderson, Billups, JR Smith, and Kenyon Martin too.
Idealistically, I'd like for Charlotte to rebuild too.

I don't think he'll demand a trade, but it's been made pretty clear that he really only wants to sign that extension with NY. It all depends if NJ can convince Melo to do otherwise or decide they want to rent him--which if they keep the current deal, is quite the price to pay for a rental. Charlotte is willing to rent, so there's not as much resistance as there would be from a team wanting to keep him long-term. He may not end up a Bobcat, but I think the rental aspect helps us.
I don't know...I'd like to see someone who can knock down threes pretty regularly, so that's why I wouldn't mind him.
he is good. he is showing signs that he can penetrate/take the ball to the rim as well as shoot. he would be a great spacer for us and would allow jax a little room to operate.
This is somewhat OT, but why would Melo agree to sign with the Nets if it effectively guts their team (outside of Lopez) to make it happen? I just don't see him agreeing to an extension unless it's in a trade to the Knicks.
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
They wouldn't really be gutting the team to get Melo. The proposed deal would be Favors, Murphy, and a bunch of picks for Melo.
It may not look like they're gutting the team, but considering that they suck now and would trade most of their immediate future away, they'd be in nothing more than mediocre shape if they acquired Melo. Meanwhile, he can wait a few more months and join a Knicks team on the rise without them giving up anything of value.
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
Melo wants to join the Knicks for two reasons: One, MSG is far better than what the Barclays Center can be in both atmosphere and history, and two, because a Felton/Wilson Chandler/Melo/Amar'e/Mozgov lineup will be better than Miami, Boston, Orlando or whoever else post-lockout. Even if NYK gives up Curry/Gallo/Fields and picks they're stacked. If they wait, and have a Felton/Wilson/Gallo/Melo/Amar'e lineup with Fields as the 6th man, they'll be the best team in the league.
