Gallinari or Barrett?

New thread - Gallo vs Chandler vs Barrett

Fields

I will say, though a healthy Gallo would have basically been a Cadillac version of Lamar Odom, RJ is still on path to have a Paul Pierce career and unless this knee is more serious that we are being led to believe, he could finish his career (if not traded) as a top-5 highest scoring knick all-time.

Health matters. Work ethic matters. RJ, so far, has both to his advantage.

Gallo and Chandler got us Melo and Billups

Barrett and Quick got us OG

I think that sums it up.

[El Poochio]

Feels similar to when Gallo got traded

[Mecca]

Gallinari and it isn't particularly close. Borderline offensive.

You're alive.

I hope you're doing well.

If we didn't trade Gallo in the Melo trade, we would've won the title *ducks*

Pierce before KG/Allen (to a lesser extent Rondo) was a scoring wing, not known for defense, not a great shooter, not known for winning to the point they traded Walker and were picking like 5 in the draft.
Your Truth is a lie

pierce led a team to the ecf in his 4th season and was an all-star by year 5 and led the league in points and was all-nba 3rd team. it's not the same path.

Pierce also never had a single season with below-average scoring efficiency until his last two seasons in the league where he was essentially washed.

He was much better at pretty much everything. Particularly scoring but also defense.

He was a great, great player so that's not even a slight.

He's left handed Paul Pierce playing with oven mittens.

It's not close, Paul Pierce in his rookie year was shooting .412 on 3's -- in 1998-9. When 3's weren't as easy and free to get. Paul Pierce led the league in points at age 24.

Most of all Paul Pierce's league adjusted shooting numbers in his first 4 years were all very positive. RJs have been absolutely offense demolishing level horrible, Westbrook level horrible.

Year 4 for The Truth his true shooting add was over league average by +186.8, Chanel will need tissues to clean up after reading these stats

You can stop now. He's in Toronto thankfully. Pierce actually was, and has been an amazing shooter at a rate that is embarrassingly better than RJ. You are basically saying you know nothing about Paul Pierce and never even looked at his numbers. I mean or you are RJs dad or something posting in here, there's really no other explanation.

Just remember me when RJ is putting up an efficient 26+PPG in three years.
