The Washington Wizards’ forward Danilo Gallinari is likely to move out in the coming days. Teams all around the league are keeping an eye on the player. The veteran could not play last season due to an ACL injury, so the Celtics traded him off for Kristaps Porzingis.
The 35 year old veteran’s performance has dipped significantly since the injury and his trade value has taken some heat as well. Interested teams should be aware of his age and health. Here are five teams we think can acquire Danilo Gallinari from the Washington Wizards.
Danilo Gallinari to the Golden State Warriors
The Warriors are struggling this season, they are used to being contenders but they are at the middle of the table right now. They can really make use of the Italian forward’s services. They are in dire need of a scoring forward and Danio fits the bill perfectly.
Danilo Gallinari to the Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks have Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving leading the way for them. They have been looking for a third star to assist their star duo. The Mavericks have parted ways with quite a few shooters in recent years and they would like to add one now. The Italian succeeds 30% at his shooting from beyond the arc.

Danilo Gallinari to the Miami Heat
The Heat made it to the NBA finals last season and if they want to pull off something like that again, they need to acquire some talent. They aren’t rated as high even though they were the previous season’s finalists and the Heat would like to change this.
Danilo Gallinari to the Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers lack some quality at the forward position and they could really benefit from a scoring forward. Danilo can increase their squad depth and be the man who can score after coming off the bench.

Danilo Gallinari to the Orlando Magic
The Magic are the second worst team in the league when it comes to shooting. They can improve their offense and floor spacing with the Italian on their roster.
