a) That depends on a reserve roll coming up at exactly the right moment, which never happens.
b) GKT (or any other Deepstriking model) can't be teleported directly into CC - they have a minimum range of 1" from their base to an enemy's base.
c) When a unit is Deepstruck, they can't move or assault that turn. So the GKT wouldn't be able to close that 1" (or more) gap to help out the IST.
d) The IST would have to SURVIVE to hit the model in question - for multiple turns, since you have to wait for the reserve roll to come up, and then wait another turn to move them into combat. Any unit that can pop a GM & retinue can just as easily pop an IST squad.
