Was just on Facebook and assuming I follow the actual Gigi he posted that he will not be playing on the NBA this season.  Says he was offered roster spots but not regular rotation minutes.  Sorry no link, on my phone at work now just wanted to throw this our there.  Can someone verify?

There was a report earlier this month in the herald that suggested he may go back to Italy. It's a shame we need shooters and we may let this guy go ::)

It's true, he is leaving the NBA to play for Fenerbahce in Turkey:

Seems like that the money was a big factor in his decision:

Ah bugger >:(. Oh well at least he'll be somewhere where he'll get more playing time and more money.  Best of luck to him. I guess that's why there hasn't been a lot if talk about him and more about gallinari.
