76ers, Mavericks, Other Teams Interested In Trading For Danlio Gallinari

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 4:39 pm

The Oklahoma City Thunder have received interest from multiple playoff teams in Danilo Gallinari, sources tell Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer.

The Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers are two specific teams who have registered interest with the Thunder.

Gallinari will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason at the age of 31.

The Thunder are on pace to be a playoff team, which will almost certainly impact what they would need to receive in return for Gallinari.

I will say this: They should never have let Jimmy Butler go and then proceed to max out Tobias Harris since he was essentially insurance for Butler leaving.

They should have kept Covington and just traded away Saric, Chandler, some picks and matching salary when Minnesota had no leverage. If they had kept Butler, Covington and Redick their spacing issues wouldn't be such an issue plus they'd be in a far better spot. Colangelo and Brand totally botched the asset war chest that Hinkie accumulated.

Sixers are two games out of the 2nd spot in the east despite not playing with their superstar C for the last 7 games lol. The sky is not falling like you all want to believe

Lol how are they going to resign Butler without trading Cov? Eveyrone has an opinion about Philly but doesn't really know what they're talking about.

Or it could be the media sees the Sixers need shooting and creation and therefore just automatically link them to every player who might be available that fits those descriptions?

That was my first thought... and my opinion is, and was at the time, that they should have kept their depth and not traded for Butler or Harris in the first place. Harris is overpaid, but at least he's still around.

Well to be fair, when they had Fultz and it was obvious that he had to be moved, they could have used his salary along with Wilson Chandler's and Dario Saric as an additional piece since Minnesota had no leverage whatsoever. And if the T-Wolves balked at that offer, then you could walk away and let them deal with an uncomfortable situation.

There’s this thing called a salary cap! You can’t keep everyone! Besides Butler didn’t want to stay

They could of kept everyone they had bird rights.. With the exception of Covington who they actually traded for Butler.. let's be frank they were eliminated by a buzzer beater in game 7 to the eventual NBA champions so they were close that said they screwed up since junkie left.. 1. They didn't wait at all for Embiid and Simmons to grow and instead wasted picks trading up yo Fultz.. They traded for Butler with no commitment to stay.. They traded away picks and shooters for Harris thereby insuring that clippers could actually become a contender by getting Paul George.. Honestly Embiid and Simmons are young and you could of grown a core around then while still being at least a second round team and eventually a contender.. Instead they have already sent it to the wall and will probably have to trade Simmons in order to get pieces that can maximize Embiid which is in itself insane since they already had the assests and pieces to do this prior to all the poor moves..

It’s easy to be an expert in hindsight. The Fultz thing was unforeseable, everyone was happy about it on draft day.

The Butler trade was fine as they knew they could sign and trade.

No way they trade Simmons. They’d trade Embiid first.

Like anybody knew LAC were trading 6 picks for Paul George in the middle of last season!!!

Like you said - they were a game 7 buzzer beater away from finals so they didn’t do too much wrong, but they were probably aware a full strength Warriors or Rockets would’ve blown them out of the water.

Your logic is so flawed

the sixers want to trade for every player, but only offering **** like Zhaire Smith, Mike Scott, late round picks, and other garbage from their bench. :lol:

This year OKC is a feel-good story but.....

For OKC and all small-market teams, anyone not part of your 3-5 plan should be on the trading table with the goal of bringing back draft pics and young assets.

Gallo is unrestricted after this year, it would be negligent to not trade him for pics. Don't' be like Charlotte with Kemba, letting him walk for nothing.

We'll give you Horford for Gallinari. Sounds fair to me. :lol:

Add Richardson and maybe you can get enough salary going the other way to make the trade happen.

Fun facts. How many points did Embiid score the last time he played the Raptors? How many did he score while out with his injury last game? Yep, zero both times.

The Sixers are in 6th place. Yes, just 3 games out of second in the East, but lets be real here. With or without Embiid, they aren't catching the Heat. They aren't catching Boston or Toronto either. Adding Gallinari doesn't get them any closer.

Plus, I expect this is fake news. OKC is in their own playoff race. There is just about zero chance they would give up the best player in a deal unless they were getting mega picks (with they already have and don't need) or were saving a ton of cash (which they aren't as Gallinari is an expiring contract.

The same reason, OKC being in a playoff fight, is why they wouldn't trade him for Powell in Dallas either. Just a dumb click bait story. But hey, we all read it and many of us commented on it like the sheep that we are.
