Danilo Gallinari was one of the best strikers of the last decade.

Even though he’s no longer in his prime at 36, Gallinari is still a productive role player.

Last season he spent time with the Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks.

Gallinari averaged 5.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 43.7 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from three-point range in 49 games.

Gallinari finished his season with the Bucks and is currently a free agent available to sign with any team in the league.

He still remains unsigned August 17th.

Gallinari was the sixth overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.

In addition to the Knicks, Bucks, Wizards and Pistons, he also spent time with the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder over 14 seasons.

His career averages are 14.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, while shooting 42.8 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from three-point range in 777 regular-season games.

He also appeared in 51 NBA playoff games (28 starts) and was with the Hawks when they reached the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals.

The Bucks are coming off a season where they finished third in the Eastern Conference with a 49-33 record.

They struggled with injuries and lost to the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Gallinari could be an intriguing signing for the Bucks (or any other contending team) for the 2025 season.
