Danny Ainge might not be done dealing.
Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald reported Monday that the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets have discussed a trade that would send Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari to Boston. Bulpett did specify, however, that no deal has been reached.

Gallinari, a 6-foot-10 small forward, is coming off the worst statistical season of his career, having posted the lowest point-per-game (12.4) and rebound-per-game (3.7) averages since his rookie season and his worst field-goal percentage (40.1 percent) yet.
Injuries also have been an issue for the 26-year-old Italian, as he’s appeared in more than 60 games just twice in seven NBA seasons and missed the entire 2013-14 campaign with a torn ACL. He played 59 games for Denver this past season, starting 27.
Gallinari is set to make close to $11.6 million dollars in this, the final year of his contract.
