This is the year of Danilo Gallinari. Where are you helium?
Heat 115, Knicks 93
Observations from Wednesday's 115-93 victory over the Knicks at AmericanAirlines Arena: A rough start for Dwyane Wade, who shot 2 of 9 in his six-point first quarter. He was 4 of 12 in an 11-point first half. For once, he wasn't positively essential against the Knicks. He eventually warmed up, ...

Touche my friend. Touche.
Zo's next challenge: Michael Beasley
Coach Erik Spoelstra had him for the start of the summer. Soon, Michael Beasley is about to become Alonzo Mourning's challenge, in the former center's new player-development role with the Heat. Mourning recently spoke of his outlook regarding the oft-Tweeting, SpongeBob-loving, free-spirited 2...
Wade played pretty well in the Olympics with Chris Paul and Deron Williams at PG and neither have been acclaimed for their 3pt shooting (though they aren't terrible).
Just assuming Sessions will always remain a horrible shooter ignores the fact that players can improve - which was my point in showing Wade's numbers.

I see your point. However, it's tough to compare Sessions lack of shooting range to those of D-Will and CP3. Williams and Paul although not considered "snipers" from long distance, can knock down the three at a reasonable rate. They came into the league with legitimate range. Sessions is just awful from three. He reminds me of Andre Miller in terms of shooting prowess, or the lack of.

Good news for Danilo Gallinari. Bad news for the rest of the league.

The posted picture of Mike Beasley makes him look a lot like Dennis Rodman. A lighter version.

Dom,
Danilo Gallinari is playing in the same D'Antoni system that will contribute towards his success. His versatility is worth admiring, as he will become a match up nightmare for opposing players. Danilo will turn into a rich man's Hedo.
One small step for Riley, a giant leap for Beasley
Until Friday, the concept of Michael Beasley at small forward mostly was an abstract, one that Heat coach Erik Spoelstra carefully attempted to steer clear from. But then the Heat allowed Jamario Moon to leave for the Cavaliers and was left with the middling cast ...
Danilo Gallinari will win next season's most improved player award. He is set to have a breakout year.

What jersey number will Odom wear if he returns? He wore number seven his whole career.

The Blazers should unload Jerryd Bayless and a couple of draft picks to the Knicks for Danilo Gallinari.
Check this out:
PG- Miller
SG- Roy
SF- GALLINARI
PF- Aldridge
C - Oden
I think the Knicks would be willing to part ways with the future HOF player to get their PG of the future. The Blazers may have to throw in Outlaw and a couple of picks along with Bayless.

The Blazers signed Andre Miller. Wow, I am so jealous of the depth and youth of their roster.

I like the Blazers scenario. I'm sure aeb1255 likes it as well.

Pointed options: J-Will, Tinsley
For weeks, Allen Iverson was The Answer, in fact, just about the only answer when it came to the Heat's lack of proven productivity at point guard. Now? Now the field is growing. First there was Jamaal Tinsley working out a settlement with the Pacers, with Indiana...
That is an awful roster. Eww!
Heat at 13, but is it finished?
Guaranteed Contract No. 13 was put into place Wednesday, with the signing of Jamaal Magloire. What makes the 13th contract so significant is that is the total Heat President Pat Riley said the team may carry this season, due to its position against the dol...
Hey guys. Any update on Danilo Gallinari?

Danilo Gallinari - (from near Spain in Italy):
Best Case: Hedo Turkoglu
Worst Case: Mike Dunleavy Jr.

I think it would be best for Haslem to slide to the SG position. Gallinari can't guards opposing guards. Haslem can.

Doc,
Danilo is the real thing. He will become better than Hedo.

Danilo Gallinari is next. If you guys thought Hedo Turkoglu was good last year, wait for Danilo next season. His skills are worth admiring.
