http://www.netsdaily.com/?p=6010 Gallinari has said he has two workouts planned...both in the New York area and both this week. After that, he will see what's next. Ian Thomsen says it's a lot firmer than that: that Gallinari wants a guarantee from the Nets or Knicks or he goes back to Italy and a big personal services contract with the president of his Italian League team, Mr. Giorgio Armani. Thomsen says Gallinari is trying to scare off other teams from drafting him. His agent is David Falk, who used to represent someone named Jordan and still reps KVH. He knows how to do this. This is about the time you start hearing about guarantees.
Jared Jordan? Heh. Hell, why not? He's supposedly the best international prospect in this draft. Once again, I'm not against this.
He doesn't possess a good vertical leap nor a high release point. Anyone worried he will not be able to adequately get his shot off against NBA defenders?
Zoran Planinic...Sean Williams... I think it is a VERY good sign for the franchise that a player is using David Falk to scare other teams away from a lottery pick. And I am damn tired of this knee-jerk reaction to European players. Until he was hurt, Krstic was a phenomenal pick. I think I will now go to YouTube and watch some Danilo highlights. Danilo "Bada Bing" Gallinari.
its surprising if he actually wants to play for the nets. when was the last time anyone wanted to play for NJ?

Mikki and Boki "want" to play in NJ, but this is different. My initial reaction was (I'm guessing) pretty similar to Real's: is a top product really pulling a Yi/Kobe to sign with us? That's f***** amazing! I can't wait to see what other FA will join our team because of Brooklyn!

this is great news for us! even though it's only a half and half chance we get him. are the Knicks interested in anyone in particular besides him? I'd hate to see him go to the Knicks. looks like we have our #10 pick....
