Report: Celtics to sign Danilo Gallinari to 2-year/$13M MLE deal

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN,Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, and Davide Chinellato Danilo Gallinari has decided to sign with the Boston Celtics for the tax-payer mid-level exception ($6.5M annually) on a two-year deal with a player option for the second year.

Gallinari was part of the blockbuster trade between the San Antonio Spurs and the Atlanta Hawks that saw three first rounders and the Italian forward go to San Antonio in exchange for Dejounte Murray. Gallo was never part of the plan for the Spurs, so after negotiating a buyout, his reported choices came down to the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics.
