Denver wants to sign Gallo to an extension

According to the Denver post http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_28494437/danilo-gallinari-targeted-extension-by-nuggets

Which I'm glad because I wouldn't want any part of him and his injury prone past.. Call me what you want I would rather hold on to PJ3 and give him the fresh start his career needs. let's hope he signs that extension

Strange what Denver is doing signing Chandler and now perhaps Gallinari to an extension.  Seems like they can't decide if they're going to rebuild or not.

(Hrm . . . sounds familiar . . . .)

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if they go ahead and trade one or both of Chandler and Gallo not long after extending them.  They might be thinking that if they can extend those guys they'll have greater trade value down the road than if they tried to get something for them when they're expiring contracts.

I would much rather go after Wilson Chandler than Gallo if that's the case

Hurray

Good for Denver !

Can't trade for 6 months after extending, so you'll have to wait awhile.  I'd be surprised if Gallo went along with an extension after the way Denver botched his knee.  Furthermore, because of this I expect him to be traded.

Leverage. The Bulpett article came across as "The Cs are interested but not really..." And this article sounds like, " Don't act like we won't keep him!" to me.

Yeah, I'm thinking the trade deadline or this time next year.

Oh well, if thats true it wasn't meant to be, at least now..

But then again it could just be a smoke screen by Denver to pressure interested parties.

Two angles to this.

1) Interest in trading him because he's expiring, but they prefer to keep him so extend him.

2) No one wants to trade for his expiring, but maybe have shown interest in trading for him if he's on a longer contract (depending on $$$).

There are probably more, but those are the obvious ones that come to mind without giving it too much thought.

Didn't read but thought that lol. Denver wants to move Lawson and Gali. They don't care if it's for rebuild pieces or better chemistry players. It is very obvious which is why all they get are low ball offers.

Danny would very much like to trade for him on an expiring contract. He'd have an expiring starting SF, PF, and C, so if a player came available to us (via trade or free agency) he could let go of whatever one of Gallo, Lee, or Johnson played the same position and resign the other two and maintain a really solid starting lineup, or he could just let them all go and have a ton of money. Maximum flexibility

I hadn't either before I wrote that post, when I read it, gave myself a pat on the back. It reads like he just printed his resume for a potential employer.

Look like a desperate attempt to get better value in trades.
If they extend him, that's good news for our Nets pick.

[Celtics4ever]

Yeah, I see it as an attempt to get more but they do not have a very good poker face.

Say we got Lawson and Gallo, who would we get rid of, Sully is a no brainer, who else Bradley?

what does he have to do with the Nets pick?
