Amongst the flurry of trade rumors that has Brad Stevens in stitches, there is a potential deal that will land Danilo Gallinari with the Boston Celtics. Gallinari may not quite be the transcendent talent that Danny Ainge has been looking for but he can immediately come in and be a top offensive option.
Gallinari’s offensive strengths fit perfectly into what Stevens has been looking for. Looking at Jae Crowder, the current starting small forward, he has clearly made an effort to cut out the mid range shots. Crowder had taken his offensive effectiveness to another level by never hesitating on his open threes but when that is not an option he is either looking for his teammates or driving to the rim.
