Strategic mistake if we give up Fields to get Melo. Chandler and Gallo, no problem. Fields will be, if he's not already, the significantly better NBA player.

At best I can see him as a 12-14ppg, 6-7rpg type of player over the course of his career, which is not a knock on him at all. He's pretty much a huge piece of a championship puzzle and I want him here for the long haul.

If Denver wants 2 of Fields/Gallo/Chandler AND wants us to take on a horrible contract, well...NO CHANCE in HELL
and why the hell did Denver even sign Harrington in the first place? what a bad contract.

What do you see Gallo being?

Two of the 3 should be mandatory for Melo. What 2 is up for negotiation, but 2 nonetheless.
Fine. Then we are getting a non-Harrington player back. Birdman will do.

I think that is the point where Walsh would rather wait until the summer. If CAA is telling teams not to bother, and Minny is willing to take on Curry's deal and throw in a pick, why the hell should we trade 2 of our top 3 young players when we can get Melo in the summer?
If we trade 2 of the 3, something besides Melo is coming back.
?

I'll take that bet all day every day.
If only one goes, it has to be Wilson. There is no way he is going to get his 8-10 M here to come off the bench for Melo. That kind of money has to be reserved for difference makers.

Landry doesn't have the size or natural jumper but I think he's already better and it's just his first year. You can't teach intelligence. I know people think Gallo is really smart but I don't really see that yet to be honest.
I'd trade Gallo before Fields for certain -- particularly with Melo on board. Gallo's 3 ball goes nicely with Melo in theory but then one of them has to play PF. Fields will play at the 2 and do everything you need to win ballgames.
To me, it's not really that close. Fields and Mozgov are our best two prospects, and clearly so. Gallo is intriguing and talented too though. I just think Landry and Timo are head & shoulders right now.
Reasonable minds can differ on this though
Whatever we think about talent evaluation, Gallo or Melo has to play PF and with Amar'e on the court, he'd have to be at center. That's a misaligned and small lineup which I of course dislike greatly. Landry is thriving as a two guard -- none of the above can play two.

We must be watching different games. Gallo, since returning from his injury, has showed himself to be on the verge of being totally unstoppable.
I used to agree with you a lot, but you seem to be aging backwards or something.

Wait wait wait wait wait. Wait. One great game, one good game, several bad games and a couple ok games and Mozgov is better than Gallo? The same Gallo who has had several 20 point halves, squared up with some of the elite SFs of this league, hit more clutch 3s than everyone else put together, and showcaed a little bit of evertying in the last monh alone?
