The Nets tried to trade up to get Gall.

Yes they did, and after the Knicks turned them down Thorn leaked to the media that we were going to select Gallo.

"The Knicks are going to take Danilo Gallinari," Nets president Rod Thorn said last night, referring to the Italian forward who had been at the top of his wish list all month. "And the others have yet to make up their minds. Which means that we still have three or four different guys who can drop to us."
