Langston Galloway has been tendered a contract and could very well return to New York, but he’s very cautious with the ball, is an erratic shooter, over-handles and flat-lines the triangle whenever he plays the point.

over handles is something I never heard associated with Gallo and who doesn't like a player who doesn't turn the ball over?
lang is a home grown, feel good story, period. Seriously limited skills here. We are trying to build a champion, and he's neither PG nor SG. He can't run the point well or really score, and is only good for energy defense. He's a 10th-12th man.
I'd rather have a young developing guy with higher ceiling at that spot on my roster, like a Jerian Grant.
It looks like Gallo will be back and rescinding his QO was procedural brilliance to maximize cap space. This blog simplified it enough that I now understand Phil and Mills plan of attack.

Galloway is 10 months older than grant.
Fans talk a good game about finding and developing talent but they don't have much patience after a year and 1/2 or so.
Galloway don't didn't have a great year, but to dismiss him as a player already defies what we say we all want.
Was listening to ny sports radio last night. Seems like some fans aren't happy about giving up young talent. The thing is, only a select few young players are real keepers. The rest are dime a dozen.
Grant was a highlight reel in college, but didn't look like anything remarkable in the NBA.
His predecessor, Hardaway Jr, looked like he had the makings of something, regressed in year w, and couldn't buy a minute in Atlanta.
So, some folks are sentimental, like Galloway was our next John Starks.
Maybe he'll come back in 4 years as a scrappy, more skilled player

I believe the jury is still out on Grant. Even the biggest supporters of the Triangle say its hard to learn, which Grant had to do while simultaneously taking away his greatest strength, the pick and roll. Throw in a lousy rookie coach, and a lousy veteran coach, all that would mess with most rooks.

I think in a free flowing system (maybe what we have now or what Chicago may have) Grant is going to shine. The thing about that cat is he has GREAT court vision and a high BB IQ.
He is just made for this league with his upbringing and family. I was really really sad to see him go.

Perfectly stated on Galloway. And glad to hear it was done to extend Willy's contract.
I would still look to bring in some depth behind Jennings -- I really like this kid Corey Walden. Played in the DL last year--didn't put up crazy numbers or anything but if you watch him, he's impressive. He'd be a perfect 3rd PG behind Jennings imo. Walden's > Galloway...With some of these players they decided to bring in, I'd really like them to go 3 deep at every position if possible now. I'd still LOVE to add a guy like Cat Barber or Yogi Ferrell but Walden would suffice. Walden and either Terrico White or Jabari Brown would make for some real nice 3rd string guard depth provided they can't swing anything else.
