Feel like Gallo would be a great fit in Miami. The team is moving the ball really well so I think he could help your team a lot. Not sure Miami is willing to trade some asset though but...think he's worth it.


GG buddy. Didn't know if we could get the win without Winslow steadying our bench, but we did it.

Let's make a deal. Will take one Gallo and one Steven plz.

Steven is great but given his huge salary, think you guys are fine with Bam :)

Gallo could really help Miami for this year playoff run. Also don't think his next contract would be that big, so having his bird rights looks good. If we weren't rebuilding I would be happy to keep him.

Good game guys. That was a solid performance. Bam feasted without Adams there. Not to take anything away from Bam, but our defense just craters without Adams there. Nerlens is good for the backup unit but Muscala is horrific.

What an amazing draft pick

Called it since day one. I was told he was lucky to be tristan thompson. I laugh sipping this fine bustelo pinky high


Lucky because TT's a good player, not because his stature was untenable

Bam revisionism and TT disrespect
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

When they didn't trade CP3(even with 2 late 1st round picks) they decided to put off rebuilding for at least 1 year, they've killed their draft position for the next NBA draft already with one of their best players being 34(although I think he could be a very good player past his current contract). I looked at it for OKC as trading 2 late 1sts and a mid 1st for a top 5 pick this next draft, which I think a top 5 pick is way more valuable then that, you're only moving up to 10-12 with those 3 picks.

It seemed to make sense with OKC trading CP3 to Miami, Miami gets back 2 of their 1st round picks(which will be later 1st round picks), OKC ends up cashing in Gallo and possibly Adams and tanks to get in the top 5 in the NBA draft, it seems of way more value unless Presti has decided he has a new core (CP3, SGA, Gallo, Adams, Schroder) and a lot of assets to ADD to that team and move forward as just a good team with a future built around SGA and whatever other younger guys they can acquire with all their assets.

Memphis(waited as long as they could) and possibly now OKC are going the right routes, not forcing tanks and just trying to build till it's just impossible. Philly(the standard of rebuilding for some reason) traded a young all-star for Embiid(could have done that without tanking), did get Simmons who is great with a huge weakness(shooting) but the other players they tanked for years and just missed greatly near the top of the draft, Noel, Okafor, Fultz, Saric(via Payton trade), Z.Smith(via Bridges), that team should be WAY better talent wise then it is. Basically because of Simmons' inability to shoot they've decided to move other's for not much to find a better fit with Simmons by trading Fultz and Butler. If I were Embiid and looked at the recent trades, I'd be pissed because they were all about the fit with Simmons with very little to do about their fits with Embiid.

2016 finals TT really was something, probably their third best player iirc
