And this is kind of why it's hard to get overly excited about Boston's assets. Yeah, we have a lot of picks and some decent role players, but if a team prefers established talent, there's a lot of ways to outbid our best offer.

I do think Gallo is a bit overrated around here. His shooting percentages aren't great. He's super injury prone. How is he defensively ?
LB, this was your comment on Gallo. You can't suggest that they have "established talent" when they're 19-31, and then say we have "some decent role players" yet are 29-22.
Who cares? Please stop clogging up threads with your rather odd Internet beef with LB. If you don't like what he posts, just ignore him. Please, for all of us.
Why? If he's going to have an opinion that the Nuggets have better assets than us, then I will gladly share my opinion that he's incorrect. This wasn't even a topic about the C's until he turned it into one. So I would suggest if you don't like me offering my thoughts on it, then you should take your own advice and ignore both of us altogether.
You didn't suggest he's incorrect, you just delved into what he may or may not have thought about Gallo in the past. You made no attempt to explain what you think of Gallo, why LarBrd is contradicting himself or why he is wrong if he believe what you think he believed about Gallo in the past.
I usually do ignore the tantrums the two of you throw in response to each other, because they are making almost every thread that both of you contribute to unreadable, and thus, most of CBlog becomes unreadable.
Incorect, man. This was my initial response.
You said Danilo isn't that good. Faried is an overrated guy that can't defend. Why do you consider their assets better than Thomas, Crowder, Smart, Olynyk, etc? If I'm Doc, I think that Crowder (a SF that can defend the position) and Olynyk (a 4 that can create spacing for Jordan/Paul PNR's) is a better fit/package than Gallo and Faried. Then, you factor in our picks and we clearly have better assets. The question in fact isn't if we do or not, but rather if we are willing to deal them.
Ed, I think you have problem with subtlety to the point that I sometimes wonder if English is your first language and maybe stuff is just getting lost in translation between us. Everything isn't black and white. All of the following statements can be true at the same time:
#1 - I wouldn't move the Brooklyn 1st for Gallo.
#2 - A package built around Gallo might be more desirable than a package built around the Brooklyn 1st depending on the team offering up a star.
#3 - Gallo is quality player who would fit in very well with Brad's system and help us immediately.
#4 - Acquiring Gallo is unlikely to make this team a true title contender
#5 - Boston's ideal course of action probably doesn't involve trading for Gallo, because they want to maintain double max cap space
#6 - Gallo is overrated on this forum
#7 - Faried is overrated on this forum.
#8 - I would gladly bring on Gallo and Faried at the right price
#9 - I would rather have Middleton, Harris or Hayward than Gallo
#10 - Ainge loves Gallo
#11 - Ainge would rather have max cap space in a pipe dream attempt to go after Durant and Horford this summer... rather than lock up money for Gallo
#12 - Boston has better trade assets than Denver
#13 - Denver might outbid Boston's best offer
...
All of this stuff can be 100% true at the same time. It isn't a contradiction. If I say I love Rondo, but believe Chris Paul is better... you can't call that a contradiction. If I say Paul Pierce is my favorite player, but I'm willing to move him for a top 3 pick and cap space, you can't call that a contradiction. I know this is the age of hyperbole where everything either is amazing or sucks, but there's a grey area for most of this stuff.
