 I have heard a lot about the Nuggets looking at possible Kenneth Faried and Ty Lawson trades, but is Gallinari on the same boat? And should the Nuggets trade Gallinari? He will be on his last year of his contract next year, and is due $11,559,225 (according to HoopsHype). I think his trade value will increase next year, but he could get injured again, so that would play into his value. I see Gallinari as a high volume scorer. For example, against the Mavericks on April 10th, Gallinari scored 47 points on 15-23 (65.2%) shooting with 7-12 from downtown. He also hit 10-10 free throws and had 9 rebounds, 2 assists, a block and a steal. A team like the Celtics, Hornets, Bulls, Pistons, Heat, 76ers, Raptors, Lakers, Suns, Pelicans could use a player like Gallinari.

47 points on 15-23 doesn’t equate at all to being a high volume scorer. It equates to an amazingly efficient night at the office and what is probably a career performance for the Italian

In his past 5 seasons he has only shot 40-41% from the field and is injury prone. I don’t think any teams would be interested in him with that contract….

poor fg, injury prone and overpaid – thats three strikes against him there….

 I was able to watch him against Raptors in person and was about 20ft away from him, and man I will tell you I was shocked by how tiny he was. For a SF/PF he is wayyy too skinny to survive in the NBA for a number of years, he got bodied around by Derozan and Johnson, I dont think he even scored that game.

 Nuggets must really like Skal Labissiere.

 I think Gallo is the quintessential stretch 4. He can shoot, dribble, score inside and run in transition.

There are heaps of teams that would love to have him, but I think the Nuggets will keep him around because he’s such an easy fit with different rosters.

 Wait how is he a quintessential stretch 4? He weighs like 220. you named four things he does well, none of them is "rebound" which is perhaps the most important.

 

 He could play 4 in some small ball lineups or like the Magic back in the day when they had Dwight and a giant 3 man in Hedo but he’d get destroyed by PFs if he’s playing bulk minutes there.
