Knick coach Mike D'Antoni acknowledged on Friday that rookie forward Danilo Gallinari may be sent down to the team's D-League affiliate, the Reno Big Horns, in November for a rehab assignment, the New York Post is reporting. "That is definitely open," D'Antoni said before facing the Celtics last night. "[It would] give him a taste of reality real quick. That's a possibility. He hasn't played, hasn't done anything. I could see doing it, rehabbing, making sure he's playing 40 minutes to get in good shape and then come back up. I could see that happen." Gallinari, however, was not open to the idea. "I don't think it's the best solution," Gallinari told The Post. "I'm part of this group. I'm part of this team. I'm not part of any other team." Via New York Post
He has long substantiated injuries that will prevent him from making an impact. He's a bust, and another example of how the Knicks are screwed, and how God hats the New York Knickerbockers.
