    I actually want Gallo on this team more than any other Non-Superstar NBA player

    You mean in general or just the players available?

    As far as pure shooters, Jimmer Fredette could probably be had for a bag of chips in NO.
    He shot 48% from 3 while in Sac. One of the highest (if not THE highest) shooting percentages in NBA. Excellent on catch/shoot.

    Sure, you sacrifice on D. But as a scoring weapon would his D be
    any worse than the Jet?
    Upside on scoring, and younger

    Double on Harden and you'll pay

    But did he ever get his groove back? Pretty sure that drop from college stardom to nba batch isn't doing his shooting % any favors

    He shot 18% from downtown last year in NO. They could have used some hot shooting too, outside of Gordon.

    The only good shooters that we can afford in free agency are Dunleavy and Belinelli.

    Be careful this type of talk will get you labeled a hater.

    Imagine if we sent DMo to that coach this summer his percentage from .368 ( .458 !!! Post All Star ) could be even better than Korver next season

    Marco is there for the taking but morey spends all efforts on star players no matter home impossible it is for them to join the team

    I made a whole thread about bringing him back. He'd be fantastic next to Harden

    We seem thoroughly uninterested in adding shooters, tbh.
