One reason Gallo could be a good pickup: he's already played in Malone's scheme and already played with Jokic, so he wouldn't be as hard to integrate as, say, Bryant or Reggie were. He could potentially be ready to play meaningful short stints in the playoffs.

had to read that sentence a few times, thought I needed glasses or something since the first round pick part was clearly on the wrong side of the sentence. what the hell is wrong with Masai? I thought the same when I read it and didn't want to post that trade as I thought something was wrong. FRP for Kelly Olynyk from Raptors?

Is it 100% guaranteed Detroit is going to buy out Gallo? I can't find any sources yet.
Assuming Gallo is bought out, who do we cut/waive to open a roster spot? In order of preference:
1.Hunter Tyson (bust) 2.Justin Holiday

Gallo deserves to retire as a Nugget. He was my favorite NBA player from 2011 - 2017.

Stop with the Gallo talk guys, you gonna make me cry just by reading. I would be over the moon if he gets bought out, sign for us, wins a ring and retire as a legend! Forza Gallo!

I didn't realize he was a lotto pick just a couple seasons ago. Still seems weird though.

the optics are hilarious though, considering the Raptors are currently tanking for the Spurs because Masai gave a poorly protected 1st for Jakob Purtle.
white centers are the new athletic defensive wing men, I guess.

How does he still have a job? Looking past his racism, I’m pretty sure most real nba fans dislike him Do casuals think he’s funny, brilliant or interesting to listen to?

And yes getting Gallo would be nice. I thought I remember him saying denver was his favorite place to live?

I'm going to argue against the Booth slander.
Dude has hit on Braun, Watson, and Straw. That's extraordinary work for late first rounders.
Pickett and Tyson - don't write them off yet, fellas. They're young, they're developing.
I hate seeing Kamagate go for nothing - but honestly, he was garbage in SL and didn't have NBA quickness.
I trust Booth - looking forward to what a potential buyout market brings.

Just saw that the first round picks Dallas sent out today are basically unprotected in 2027 and 2028. That's absolutely insane for a franchise that may very well be without Irving and Doncic by that time. Going all in is one thing...but for PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford? f***ing stupid.
So thankful our front office has a little bit of foresight and intelligence.

So thankful our front office has a little bit of foresight and intelligence. And that's why i called them out and said that Mavs FO is the worst in the NBA. Misusing Porzingis, trading him for bag of chips, losing Brunson for nothing, trading depth for Kyrie who doesn't fit with Luka, going all in on fringe role players and marginal upgrades that doesn't move the needle and rock thinks that those trades are good...Knicks, who was the laughing stock of the NBA and had the worst FO are looking like a prime to be a legit contender this year with 8 available first round picks to trade in the summer and upgrade over Randle or Robinson to Giannis or Embiid for example and be a powerhouse for years. Dallas hit the lottery with Luka and did every single thing wrong to destroy their roster around him. There is no way Luka is in Mavs uniform come 2027 and 2028 and those first round picks will be huge for Washington and Charlote.

So far Knicks are the biggest winners and Mavs are the biggest losers. Mavs traded top 2 protected 2027 1st round pick with Grant William for P.J.Washington which is the most expensive lateral move...Mavs missed the playoffs last year, they are in play in now and can be out of the playoffs or out in 1st round and Luka may be asking out in the next 2 years easily, so that 2027 first round pick may bite them very hard. Grant Williams was exactly he was in Boston, but they have the same problem with that PF position since Porzingis...Luka needs that guy to sit in the corner (P.J Tucker style) and do nothing on offense. So, adding Washington over Williams with 1st round pick is one of the worst moves in my opinion. Mavs FO is making mistake after mistake ever since they drafted Luka. What? The mavs gave up nothing and got gafford and Washington. Two guys who would easily help us Eh if we had 2 FRP's Calvin would have flipped Justin Holiday and those picks for LBJ. But we don't have them and Dallas pretty much wasted them
