Nuggets tried to tank all along

 

Poor guy. Pretty good player.

 

gah dang it!

drafted him, hoping he would come back in time.

welp, time for that waiver wire

 

Smart move, Chicago needs to learn how to tank properly, sheesh

 

Gallo

 

Im not a doctor but I believe the suggested course of action is almost always to have the surgery as soon as the swelling goes down on the knee. Why they wanted to risk it not repairing correctly in the first place is beyond me.

 

uhhh doesn't he have insurance LOOOL why wouldn't he get it ASAP???

 

Wow which idiot decided not to go with the surgery, gallo, docs or the team. That's sad

 

sad story. very solid player. i would LOVE a healthy gallo on this team. exactly what we need

 

Players should seek a second or even third independent medical opinion rather than just listening to the team doctors. They may not always be working in your best interest and you don't know which side they're on.

 

Damn, I was just about to ask when even came back from the first one.

 

That sucks for him, he was having a good year last year before he went down.
