While this is the first time I’m hearing Danilo Gallinari’s name linked to Boston, we can’t be too surprised considering Denver is blowing up its roster.

Is the 26-year old Gallinari damaged goods?. He missed 18 months (2013-14) with a torn ACL that required three surgeries. He also missed about three weeks last season with a torn meniscus.

On the flip side, he averaged 18.7 ppg after the All-Star break last season, including a 47 point outburst against the Mavericks in April.

From Denver Stiffs:

On the other hand, Gallo recovered fully from his injury, finally, and showed what a very good all-around player he can be. His shooting is not as accurate as it needs to be, but he played good defense and filled up the stat sheet on a nightly basis. He also had a 47-point game. He’s a key piece to the future, if we can resign him.

Gallinari is due to make $11 million in the final year of his contract.
