Gallo: Declined to be traded at deadline

In a surprising revelation in an Italian publication that was reporting on a press conference in Italy, Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari reveals that he had the opportunity to be traded last year... but refused.

Danilo Gallinari is in his native Italy, talking in a press conference about a partnership between the NBA and UBI Bank (United Bank of India) called NBA-Evolution. What would normally be a ho-hum presser about corporate sponsorship and partnerships was very notable for Denver Nuggets fans. In particular a revelation that no one had heard about before now.
