    Simple question, which Italian would you have on your team.

    I haven't watched Gallo a whole lot, but he's only 22 and from what I hear have a lot of potential.

    Bargnani on the other hand is pretty skilled for a big man, Very good shooting touch.

    Downside is, can't rebound to save his life and is allergic to the paint. He has shown this season he can put up numbers on a bad team. He is also pretty young at 25.

    If you can pair them with their own personal Chuck Hayes to do the dirty work, they're fine. I guess Gallo since his upside is a bit higher

    I'm still cautious about his back and a little worried about how his shooting has slid each year, but I'd actually take Gallo for a simple reason: they both give you just about the same thing, but Danilo plays SF where Bargnani is a SF that plays C because of his height.

    Both pull down 5 boards - good at the 3, horrible at the 5. Neither play worthwhile defense (team or man), annoying at the 3, a problem at the 5.

    I'd maybe put up with Bargnani at the 4 like a Rashard Lewis, but if you do that, you'd better have a top 5 center in the post.

    Gallo for sure...he actually plays the SF position...Bargnani plays the SF position at C...he's a SF trapped in a C body.

    I would go with Bargnani and put him at the PF position.

    Or the Rockets could just pull Bullard off the mic and let him jack up threes all night long instead. Would be alot less expensive.

    Barghani is a similar to that Anderson guy that we traded to Toronto, both had long distance shooting and both soft in the Paint, I would rather have Gallo sinse he's still growing.

    Gallo. I would give anyone on the roster for him. The guy is ultra efficient as a young player and doesn't have the glaring weaknesses that Bargnani has. Cheaper salary, too.

    That's a stretch, Anderson is like a homeless man's Bargnani. He can never put up 22 ppg, not even on a shet team like the Raptors.

    Gallo for sure.

    He can shoot lights out from behind the three, good ball handler, and I think (most importantly) his defense is very good, and underrated.

    I think that just because he plays for the D'antoni and the Knicks everyone just writes him off as a defender, but the few times that I've seen him play he has moved his feet.

    Remember the game last season where AB basically singlehandedly destroyed teh knicks. well if you look at the defense played on AB by Gallo. Logic says that AB should be able just blow by him, but he was able to keep him in front of him. Great offense by AB to beat good defense by Gallo.

    Oh, and he's only 22.

    Given Bargnani's salary and limitations, I'd say there's 29 GM's around the league thinking the same exact thing: Toronto can have him.

    That said, give me the Gallinari kid.

    Somebody will overpay Gallo when his contract comes up too. Tall guys that can score make money.


    I'll pass on bigs that can't rebound (or wings that can't do anything but score however you want to look at them), depending on what you give up obviously.
