In the aftermath of the NBA trade deadline, the available options in the buyout market are becoming scarce. However, there are still a few interesting players who remain unsigned and could be valuable additions to teams.
One such player is Danilo Gallinari, a proficient shooter from beyond the arc who can contribute off the bench, despite being 35 years old.
According to Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks are finalizing a deal to acquire Gallinari.
Sources have revealed that free agent Danilo Gallinari is in the process of securing a contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. His agent, Michael Tellem, has been exploring potential opportunities with various teams aiming for the title.
Gallinari missed the entire previous season due to an ACL tear suffered shortly after signing with the Boston Celtics in early September.
Last summer, he was traded by the Celtics to the Washington Wizards as part of a three-team deal that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Boston.
Although Gallinari may not be the same player he was a few years ago, he can still contribute valuable minutes off the bench, particularly in terms of floor spacing at the power forward and center positions.
Despite holding a solid record of 35-20, the Bucks have not lived up to the high expectations set after acquiring future Hall of Famer Damian Lillard during the summer.
Gallinari will join a Milwaukee bench that already includes Jae Crowder, Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, and recent addition Patrick Beverley, forming a formidable unit.
His arrival will provide the team with additional size in the frontcourt off the bench, addressing a specific need, and his experience could prove invaluable during playoff time.
Milwaukee clinched the NBA championship in 2021 and aims to repeat the feat before Giannis Antetokounmpo potentially becomes a free agent in the summer of 2027.
