Danilo Gallinari

The Warriors may have Andrew Wiggins, but Danilo Gallinari would be a huge upgrade. The inconsistency that Wiggins brings isn’t ideal, but it seems far-fetched to think the Warriors could add Gallinari with the mid-level exception.

Averaging 18.7 points per game last season, Gallinari was making over $22 million. Set to be a free agent, Gallinari is everything Golden State needs for a perfect small-ball lineup.

Having shot over 40 percent from deep the last two seasons, Gallinari could space the floor alongside Wiggins and Green in the frontcourt while keeping ample size.

He’s a veteran 6-foot-10 forward that played the bulk of his time at power forward last season with two percent of his minutes coming at center.
