A24 year old with his first hurt knee isn't damaged goods.


As recoveries go, Danilo Gallinari’s surgery and rehabilitation following an ACL tear was a rather complicated thing. The Denver Nuggets swingman suffered an ACL tear last April 4th, but some two months after the injury he still had yet to undergo surgery to repair the ligament.

It turns out, according to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, that Danilo never underwent an ACL reconstruction repair. Instead it was determined that the forward would be able to heal from the tear naturally, and the Nuggets decided to “only” perform surgery on his torn meniscus nearly a month after his final game. Apparently that approach has failed both Gallinari and Nuggets, as it was reported today that he’ll be out for the rest of the 2013-14 season after failing to play a minute.

Declining to surgically repair a torn ACL is a rare approach, but it’s not without precedent. Former Portland Trail Blazers draft pick Qyntel Woods is still playing basketball overseas on a torn ACL he suffered in high school, and the former high flyer declined to undergo surgery to repair it. With the long time frame afforded by his late season tear, the Nuggets likely considered Danilo as good a candidate as any to avoid surgery and return midseason, but the move hasn’t worked out.

As a result, Gallinari could miss a healthy chunk of the first part of the 2014-15 season, killer news for a Nuggets team that will pay him over $10.1 million this season and $10.8 million during next year’s rehabilitation-clouded campaign. Gallo will only be 26 years of age heading into his comeback season, but he wasn’t exactly playing at an All-Star level prior to the injury, and it’s quite the impediment to be using 1/6th of a franchise’s salary cap room on a player that will miss an entire season before uneasily getting back into the groove of things at some point during the fall (we hope) of 2014.

So you would be fine trading monroe for gallo and his contract?

We all know who josh smith is and homie is a better player at the 4. He is trash at the 3

Smith at the 4>>Monroe
lowkey you right im starting to see this

I think this creates the largest problem between the 2, Smiff can help us be slightly better right now. But when it comes to the 2 players the future shouldn't be sacrificed because of whats going on this season. It's no secret that the team is trying to build around Dre. So why trade away a good durable player that will be in his Prime when Dre has peaked for a player that will be in the twilights? Moose will be at the 4 when we need it most, and that is when Dre has peaked.

Moose is not a pf he's a center.

Yes I would rather take a chance on paying gallo for 2 years and get the first rd pick. One injury doesn't end a career. Didn't Drummond break his back last year. The pistons are not going anywhere for a few years. Gallo skillset is exactly what they need.

Yeah I saw it, Josh was just as bad. again I say:

Drummond will not peak for another 4 or 5 years. Where will Josh be? doubt if he's on this team.

Gallo has 2 years left on his deal. He would be easily tradeable if he didn't work out.

2yrs 21 mill and his health uncertain. Let's be REAL trading monroe to denver is a reach anyway. They got faried,hickson,arthur and mcgee got 3 years left on the big contract he got. You would have to find a team who need is inside. Plus why would the pistons even risk trading monroe for gallo seeing he hurt. What part of the game is that? And if he injury prone he might not be tradable. Some contracts arent tradable look at Charlie V.
