Gallo Extension adds more stability to Nuggets

By signing Danilo Gallinari to a 4 year extension today (1/25/12) the Nuggets have continued to add stability to the core players on the roster. After the Gallo signing the Nuggets have locked up 3 important pieces for the long term in Gallinari, Nene and Triple A. Next on the list to extend would probably be Ty Lawson after this season. It's refreshing to have players that sign extensions because they want to be a part of what the Nuggets are trying to do for the foreseeable future. These three are good players and good guys and fit in here in the Mile High City perfectly!

Ultimately on a team first team like the Nuggs

you still need someone who can score the basketball. I like Gallo’s moxie and I like the fact that this could be the beginning of a small market alternative model to the the OKC Thunder stable of stars, luck of the draw: Grab a bevy of savvy American college guys (Triple A and Ty Lawson), toss in a few talented foreign cast-off bigs (consequently all three Nuggets foreign(ish) 7 footers are Knicks castoffs (Koufas, Mozgov and Nene), and wings both foreign and domestic who can shoot it (Fernandez, Brewer, Gallo, Harrington). I’m very excited about this team.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
