I love watching Gallo but wish we could trade him ASAP. His trade value is not going higher than it already is (and odds of him getting injured are pretty high so...)

Same here. There really isn’t much benefit for for either side in waiting. Teams like Portland, Denver or Dallas would benefit by having him to help improve seeding.

December 15th to match salaries.

Fortunately for muscala, bad performances really aren’t hurting his numbers. After today’s performance, he only dropped to 5.6% from three on the year.

True. However bazemore is available now but I’m sure Presti is going to try get max value.

Usage too. And I know he's not passing much, but a 9% tov% with the highest usage on the team is pretty amazing.

If he can just start drawing more fouls around the rim instead of trying this incredible (low percentage) circus shots all the time, we'll really have something.

He’s pretty craft around the basket. He’s shown a really nice midrange pull-up that I think he needs to use a bit more to open things up for him. Sometimes it becomes too obvious that he’s going to the basket.

He's had some amazing finishes but I don't think its a long term success strategy. Hopefully he just doesn't force it.
