    Last year Gallo was the sixth ranked player in the entire league in offensive rating.

    He's a better player than ryno. He does have constant injuries though

    I don't think anyone really believes he is remotely close to the 6th best offensive player in the league. He is elite at getting to the line though and finishes better under the basket a little better than Anderson. Anderson is the better defender and health is a major concern.

    I would rather have Gallo but when everything is balanced they are comparable in my opinion.

    Wasn't he essentially a rookie last season? He seems like he will be a pretty good player if he improves a little more his 2nd season playing.

    Clippers are doing the best they can, but when you lose a top 5 player in the NBA it's mostly just for show.

    Doc and the Clips are going to get a huge reality check this season without CP3.

    I was thinking about this and... I think Jordan will be traded or marginalized to the role of a backup who happens to start (kind of like Pachulia on Warriors).

    When I think about an overall ROTATION of Griffin/Jordan/Blake, that's a very good 3 man rotation at the 4/5 if you pick minutes for Gallo/Jordan based on the opponent. I think Mbah A Moute is a starter in this league now who can handle the 3 as a 3&D guy.

    The problem of course is no matter how patient they are, I can't see anyone taking Jordan from them without getting compensated. Literally the only trade I can see happening with anyone is Monroe, Henson and Vaughn for Jordan and Lou Williams. That's not a great deal for the Bucks, nevertheless I can see them doing it. Gives Maker a season or 2 to develop before they let Jordan walk. Gets the Clippers largely out of that contract sooner.
