Knicks rookie Danilo Gallinari claims that he will workout in the United States this summer in an attempt to avoid slimming down.

"For sure I'm going to work out a lot to be better, better and better," said Gallinari. "'Work' is the only word I know to get better. I'm going to work out here (instead of in Italy). If I go back to Italy, it will just be for vacation."

Gallinari, who is currently listed at 6-10, 225 pounds, has been limited at times this season because of back issues.
