Gallinari reportedly choosing between the Clippers and the Bucks per PatBevPod

Whose big man minutes will he take if he goes to the Clips?  They're already loaded.

He’s not taking minutes from anyone on a team that seriously has winning ambitions.

It's interesting that the Clips already have two veterans complaining about lack of playing time (Tucker, Hyland), but they want to add a third.

I wonder why Gallinari would prefer either LAC or MIL to BOS?  Could it be that he feels jilted because the Celtics traded him?  If that is the case, I say come on, be a professional.

I guess LAC and MIL both have a chance at a title, but BOS would be the best chance (at least according to Vegas odds).  I would say his shot at playing time is about the same in all cases.  For the Celtics, he would have to beat out Kornet and/or Brissett and/or Tillman.

Do we know if the Celtics have even reached out to him?  The lack of interest could be mutual.

Bingo

Count me in as not seeing his value here currently.

Looks like Gallo is signing with the Bucks. He could back up Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis? But yeah, another bad fit defensively. He chose the Bucks because of the opportunity to play which I guess other contenders couldn’t guarantee.

I get it for Gallinari, but yeah, that's not helping the Bucks much. Doc does love vets though. He'll probably play him until the wheels fall off.

So he got fined 75K for something almost the entire NBA does nowadays (Harden, Lillard, etc.)

The Wheels are already off. He couldn’t get minutes for Washington or Detroit.

I don't think Gallo is fully back if he ever gets back. He can still shoot.

His defense is going to make Dame look like Marcus Smart.

Hospital Grizzlies competing with the Bucks.  Tied at the half. 

Lamar Stevens getting some decent minutes and contributing.  Hope he earns himself a contract somewhere this offseason.
