The deal is done -- Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari has agreed to a four-year contract extension, a league source told The Denver Post. The 23-year-old small forward will make close to $42 million in that four year span. The deal signifies Denver's dedication to building around a young nucleus, the same nucleus that was handed the keys after Denver traded Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups 13 months ago. The 23-year-old Gallinari had a breakout game last weekend at New York - 37 points, 11 rebounds - and averages 17.4 points per game this season, a career high, as well as 5.2 rebounds. Coach George Karl previously said he thinks the Italian they call Gallo can become an all-star someday.
