The Atlanta Hawks will put Danilo Gallinari in a reserve role in 2020-21

The Atlanta Hawks made a pretty splashy move when they signed Danilo Gallinari (via a trade) for three years and $61.5 million. Along with their acquisition of Bogdan Bogdanovic and drafting of Onyeka Okongwu, it made for an exciting offseason of additions for the Hawks.

While Okongwu’s development is going to be a topic of focus over the next several seasons, and it remains to be seen how far Bogdanovic can go away from Sacramento, Gallinari is more of a known talent.
