Trade Stock Watch: Danilo Gallinari

Danilo Gallinari came to Oklahoma City for one reason. He was salary filler in a deal that also sent five first-round picks, two pick swaps and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Paul George. Many called his contract too bloated for OKC to flip. People are now re-thinking that statement as they’ve seen Gallinari’s strong play this year.

Gallo is a scorer–he doesn’t do much else. He won’t light you up for 50 points on any given night, but he will be consistent in giving you 20. His shooting splits are quite good: he is above-average from three and elite at the free throw line.
