I agree with that Gallo is a good opportunity for us. I have been thinking about it for some time and i decided - Yes.
We would get a 2nd guy that can score 35 in a game.
He is long, shoots well, looks healthy and is ready to contribute right now.
He is a 6'10 PF, in CBSs system he is a strech 4 we seek. 28-30 minute player for us.
His contract has 2,5 more years. Not too long, not too short.
He gives us another much needed option late in games.
Maybe Im wrong, but I believe all of our draft rights have diminishing value if kept for too long.
We all know that we dont want 4 rooks on next years roster.
Im aware of the fact that we can trade them later, but when you see a player you like, you try to get him, cause he might not be avalible later. With many teams now staying put and evaluing their ceilings, it makes sense to use that circumstance and jump on a chance
I also like the Euro flavor he would bring (biased), something we dont have now.
I'd make an offer to Denver on January the 15h:
Boston gets: (about 17 M $ in salary)
Danilo Galinari
Randy Foye (waived)
Denver gets: (about 22,5 M $ in salary)
David Lee
Jonas Jerebko (asset with his unguaranteed contract, possibly to another team at the deadline)
James Young (young developing )wing
Dallas top 7 protected 1st rounder 2016 (still has a good upside, despite Dallas doing well atm)
Minnesota 1st top 12 protected (or 2 2nd rounders 2016, 2017)
Id be willing to give that Phily 2nd rounder (31st pick in the next years draft) on top of that if needed.
He would make us better a team now and hopefully going into the playoffs, we would still have assets (dont forget he would be one too) to make a bigger deal.
We have 3 more weeks to evaluate the situation some more.
