those predictions were based on lebron as the #1 and gallo as #2 options, but if you want to throw bosh in there, it becomes more difficult. i can't imagine what the numbers would look like but certainly gallo's won't be so strong...which is why i don't want two maxes but just lebron if possible because i feel we need to let gallo blossom into a superstar.
Interesting theory.
But I believe that Gallo could only be strengthened by LeBron and Bosh and playing beside them. I think Gallo is perfect as a third guy who can fill it up if you stop paying him full attention.
Also LeBron is the most unselfish superstar scoring wing in NBA history, I would argue, so he could only benefit Gallo in a big way.
I can see that too, it can go that way, is true.
I would just hate to nip such a promising youngster so early in his career by pigeonholing him as a third option. It's just that I see the kid as a legit 2nd at least and maybe even a 1st option somewhere down the line. But, you know, whatever is best for the team. Just not ready to give up on Gallo becoming a superstar.
I see Lebron and Gallo, Gallo dropping 20 at least...but Lebron, Gallo, Bosh, well, 17 at best.
You want to put players around Lebron but you don't want to saturate the squad. I believe that's what happened in Cleveland this year. They saturated the squad by adding Shaq. Now, I know Shaq isn't what he used to be, but his personality and on-court presence are still too strong to ignore. So it's a case where more is less.
We gotta have a clean-cut, efficient team without overlap. You don't want talent overlap because then you don't get the most out of the players you have so you're essentially wasting talent and cash money.
