Portland Trail Blazers Rumors: Blazers urged to move for Kevin Love, Anfernee Simons could be traded and more

#2 Danilo Gallinari is a trade candidate

Danilo Gallinari is expected to be moved by the Thunder ahead of the trade deadline

Due to the Oklahoma City Thunder's desire to rebuild, Danilo Gallinari is among the veteran players that could be moved ahead of the deadline. And Paolo Uggetti of The Ringer believes that the former Clippers man could be a target for Portland:

"Danilo Gallinari is another trade candidate who could fit in well with this team. He would be the perfect stretch 4 to play with Portland’s deadly backcourt. While it’s unclear what Oklahoma City’s ultimate goals are for this season, Gallinari and his expiring contract could be a tasty asset for Sam Presti to try to swap," Uggetti wrote.

Gallinari was among the NBA's best three-point shooters during the 2018-19 season, and the Italian has put in a series of strong performances since joining the Thunder as part of the trade for Paul George earlier this summer. Through 11 appearances he is averaging 18.2 points and 4.9 rebounds, while also shooting 42% from three-point range.
