News about Danilo Gallinari

According to rumors, the NBA Pistons have acquired Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Marvin Bagley, Isaiah Livers, and two second-round picks. On Sunday morning, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news, with the two Eastern Conference foepers coming to an agreement on a four-player trade. The teams have just 10 wins between them this season, and are now trying to rename some of their more popular names.

Dejounte Murray, the Atlanta Hawks guard, has agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract extension. Murray was supposed to become a free agent at the end of the 2023-24 season. Rather, his new contract will now run from 2027 to 2028. The 26-year-old spent his first five NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs before being sent to Atlanta in part for forward Danilo Gallinari and three first-round draft picks.

Victor Wembanyama, the first-overall draft pick, did not improve the San Antonio Spurs' NBA championship odds, but the Celtics' acquisition of former All-Star Kristaps Porzingis made Boston a favorite to win its 18th championship in 2023-24. The NBA Draft odds have been updated by FanDuel, reflecting some major shifts in the NBA over the past week. The Celtics increased the defending champion Denver Nuggets as the best bets next season, going from a +500 to +460, implying one would win $460 if correctly betting $100 on a Boston championship in 2024. It wasn't a draft pick that raised the Celtics' odds, thereby lowering the risk of placing a winning bet on Boston. Rather, it was their deal to purchase Porzingis from Washington, which saw its slim chances decline from +37000 to +50000, giving the Wizards a whopping $100,000 bonus.

The NBA and players union has been chastised in the new collective bargaining deal that will be announced this summer. If a team's midlevel exception to sign players is reached, the agreed upon seven-year CBA will have a second luxury tax level, which will prevent teams from using their midlevel exception to sign players. That was a concrete compromise, considering how certain clubs needed the so-called 'upper spending ceiling' that would effectively put a ceiling on how much money can be invested each season.

Blake Griffin has reportedly joined the Celtics after spending portions of two seasons with the Nets, adding to the team's frontcourt depth as the team moves forward than its NBA Finals appearance last season. According to ESPN, the deal is a one-year contract. Griffin joined the Nets in the 2020-21 season after agreeing to a buyout with the Pistons and going on to play a major role in the following postseason as Brooklyn fell to the Bucks in the second round.

Danilo Gallinari of the Boston Celtics sustained a torn left meniscus while playing for Italy in a FIBA World Cup qualifier game Saturday. Gallinari's recovery did not have a timetable, but the Italian team did not announce on Sunday morning that he would not participate in the EuroBasket tournament next month. 'Official medical report: meniscus lesion.' 'I will not play #Eurobasket in my home town,' Gallinari wrote on Twitter.
