February 9: Gallinari has officially been waived, the Pistons announced (via Twitter).
February 8: The Pistons‘ series of roster cuts will continue with a veteran forward, according to Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press, who reports (via Twitter) that Detroit is waiving Danilo Gallinari.
As they reshape their roster, the Pistons have already released guard Killian Hayes, forward Joe Harris, and newly acquired swingman Danuel House, and are also expected to waive another new addition, guard Ryan Arcidiacono.
Gallinari, 35, has appeared in 32 games this season for the Wizards and Pistons, averaging 7.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.8 minutes per night, with a shooting line of .451/.355/.850. He was part of the four-player trade between Washington and Detroit last month, having been sent to the Pistons along with Mike Muscala.
Given his age and the fact that he missed the entire 2022/23 season due to an ACL tear, Gallinari is no longer the dynamic stretch four he was earlier in his career, but he could still appeal to teams as a depth piece. According to Shams Charania and James L. Edwards III of The Athletic (Twitter link), he’s expected to start taking meetings with clubs on Friday, while he’s still on waivers.
Gallinari was on an expiring $6,802,950 contract, so Detroit will remain on the hook for that cap hit if he goes unclaimed on waivers, as is expected. In that scenario, he’d be eligible to sign with any NBA team except the Wizards.
He has always been a “Warriors” player lets make it happen for Josephs spot they could use a stretch 4…
Go ahead and waive Ryan A. Come back to NY Ryan A and finally score a basket
I was just thinking the same thing..he’s too similar to Dario but front court depth is what they need..
Already have Saric better use that spot in a true Center available
They probably can’t due to the 2nd tax apron.
They have to sign a 14th player in the next 14 days.
Yesssssssss
We need a guy who cuts and gets to the line. Kuminga is starting to do it more. Wiggins seems to mind the traffic these days. BP is fearless in the paint but no length. Need a guy to slow down the other teams runs with contact and FT. Reset the D
Warriors paid $5.8m cash to trade Joseph. It will be Quinones for the 14th spot.
Troy Brown and don’t give me Shake please
The first player selected in the NBA draft and never lived up to expectations. He had a chance at a ring in Boston, but wanted to play in the Euro tourney and tore his knee up. I guess that was more important than being an NBA Champion. Seems that some players only care of the money.
He was not the first pick
I’m not sure what you meant by the first sentence but yeah they all only care about money. That is why we need to change this by stop watching these spoiled athletes. No passion anymore, only passion to get played. Weakest era ever. Silvers era.
SBA Silvers Basketball Association
NBE National Basketball Entertainment
FEL Floppers Entertainment League
which one?
Foreign Players have pride to represent their country (unlike Americans)
USA players understand that the NBA championship is the only thing that matters. Its the top of the sport and while the Olympics is swell, its not the same.
Kind of like soccer and the World Cup. Olympics is not even in its league.
So, dont be bitter. Be happy you get to see the best go against the best for the real prize…the ring.
The NBA isn’t the number 1 anymore. USA players only care about getting the money, no NBA ring or anything. No passion, just passion to get money. It’s only about money to the USA guys. The NBA is not that good anymore hate to burst your bubble.
…and most of the time they will do it for free. So before talking wrong about players playing in european or international tournament fastfreddie777 get informed.
P. S. You get confused with Bargnani. Again get yourself proper information…
Yeah that’s because there signed to guarantee contracts in the nba if there any good where most american and European players are not on guaranteed contracts in the European leagues
This take makes me chuckle every time. So bitter and down right angry about what players get paid. Never mind how much their making compared to what the teams are making and generating. You’re advocating to stop watching basketball. You aren’t a fan and the rest of us know it
Your user name is disgusting. I know every player ever, everyone since 1950. I know about basketball than you pretend to. I don’t need to watch this diluted era to be a fan. So go spread your ignorance somewhere else
Are you thinking of Andre Bargnani? He was a #1 overall pick foreign bum.
He’ll be back in Boston by the buyout market
Not even close
Gallo was 6th pick in 2008 draft
I was going to say “WARRIORS GO” but then I remembered their biggest problem is probably their advanced age
Gallo fits though…he’s instantly be the biggest warrior…
Celtics is where he should go back too.
Celtics did him dirty. Come to Philly, maybe get a chance to go at them in the playoffs.
Sixers going to pick up a good squad from 6 or 7 years ago.
Lowry, Gallo, and Lopez. And all could start lol.
