Knicks Rookie Danillo Gallinari Will Have Surgury

The New York Knicks 2008 draft pick (# 6 overall) out of Italy will be having surgury to repair his ailing back over the summer. His rookie season with New York is officially over. Gallinari hurt his back in D-League traing after he was drafted when Kieth "Tractor" Traylor elbowed him in the back while Gallinari was attempting to post up on him. So much for developing a promising young stud to lure Lebron to NY in 2010.

This is very discouraging, because I was actually starting to root for him. I even shelled out an extra $200.00 to Comcast to get the NBA package so I could watch him play.

As far as I'm concerned, Donnie Walsh did a great job at purging that disaster of a team that Isiah Thomas put together. He did it slowly, but surely, and was a major player in shuffling the deck of available NBA players. The only guys I like to watch and I think would be great to keep, are N8, Lee, Gallo, and Chandler. Everyone else in my eyes are expendable. Lee is a keeper, as I think he could be a solid role player behind an elite player such as Lebron or Wade. In the end, as nice as it would be to land Lebron, but I have a feeling it could be Wade in Orange and Blue, instead of Lebron.
