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.
There is some truth to that -- you want to give a squad a chance to breathe. The Dallas Mavs have always loaded up on talent and it doesn't get them anywhere.
But in Gallo's case, he's young and still not consistent. Plus he has trouble on the road. I don't think he's close to being a 2 and I don't think 1 is even in the discussion right now to be honest.
His inconsistency is a bigger factor than the possibility that he could become a great player and that LeBron/Bosh would hurt his development.
True, is true. Gallinari definitely did appear inconsistent at times but I can't write him off as that, yet. You had a bunch of factors playing a role in his up-and-down numbers. One, there's the whole Al Harrington stick in the spokes thing. Two, first full NBA season after spending the summer healing back surgery. Three, he was more or less shunned by almost every player on that team at some point over the season.
His performances late season tell me that he's, right now, a legit 2, and fast on his way to growing into a 1.
Let that bitch breathe, haha.
