Clippers Want Danillo Gallinari, Bad

[EmpireWF]

Clippers are offering Minnesota's first round draft pick (top 10 protected this year, UNPROTECTED in 2012) for Gallinari.

If you're Denver, which would you value more? Gallinari for 1.5 years at the least, Minnesota's 2012 first round pick or another potential package?

 

[Sean]

when i think on Danillo, I only think of him hitting 3s, no problem there, but if thats all he can do, send him packing, Wolves are gonna suck for yrs to come, pick sounds good, but I would be curious what kind of package they could get if any.

 

[SuperKevin]

What does he offer that Eric Gordon doesn't?

If i recall correctly, Gordon is a SG and is hurt while Gallo is a SF

The only real comparison is that they both can shoot, but many believe Gallo has upside to be a quality #2. Not to say that Gordon can't be, but I don't think he's that quality of a player. Gallo also has nice size, has shown the ablity to attack the rim and play decent defense. In the end IMO Gallo has much more upside than Gordon.

Gallo = phenomenal at taking the charge.

 

[Cody]

Really hope Cleveland can get him, not sure what we can offer, but we could use a young talent like him.

Seriously.....Gallo will not be the next big thing in LAC...Gordon is more of a dominating player, playing at the PG or SG he is about the blossum, Gallo can easy be another M. Dunlevy, Tony Kukoc...good role player IMO

You obviously have not watched Eric Gordon play this year. Id value him MUCH higher then Danillo..

 

[Juggernaut]

Blake
Gordon
Galo

That's an amazing young trio to build around.

 

[Hasselbeck]

If you're Denver you do that move without blinking.

I never said Gallo would be the "next big thing" in LA only that with his skillset and size he'd compliment Griffin well. He obviously has room in his game for growth.

Why is it always when people have a difference of opinion it has to be, "you obvioiusly have not watched him play this year". I've actually enjoyed watching Gordon's game since he was in highschool. Gordon is a good player, but if I was building my team I wouldn't want him as my second best player. However, I don't see any issue with teaming him up with Gallo and Griffin either. I think that would make for a decent 1-2-3 punch. IMO Clips biggest issue is getting a good young coach.

 

[FirstTimer]

I think if he went to the Clips it would be a good trade for both teams.

Griff
Gordon
Gallo
Jordan
Bledsoe

That's a good young core to build around.

 

[Loco]

Except Baron Davis would be in the way to muck it up.

Because if you saw him play this year you would not think Gallo is a better option to be a #2 then Gordon..

IMO Gallo has potential to be a better overall player than Gordon. Gordon is a good scorer, but IMO Gallo has the potential to be a scorer and much more.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

IMO Gallo has potential to be a better overall player than Gordon. Gordon is a good scorer, but IMO Gallo has the potential to be a scorer and much more.

To be fair here, the stats in which you'd hope Gallo could edge Gordon in (rebounds, blocks), hes only 4.8RPG to Gordon's 3.1, and 0.4 BPG to Gordon's 0.3. Gordon shoots better percentages, is a better scorer, better play maker. I duno, I just dont see the basis for this. Gordon has potential to end up being a premier scorer in the league (almost there already, is in the top 10 now), Gallo's upside is a bootleg Andrea Bargnani.

 

[Esjay]

I like Gallo a lot. I'd keep him.

 

[GangstaE]

Gallo is still learning and he was really maturing as a player this year. I saw a few glimpses on why he was drafted so high. When he gets hot man there is no shot that is sweeter. i wish him the best.

 

[NAHSTE]

I like Eric Gordon a lot, he plays hard and has a great offensive game. As for Gallo, I think adding him to that nucleus would be huge for LAC.
