Early Predictions For Where Top 2017 NBA Free Agents Will Sign

10. Danilo Gallinari, SF, Denver Nuggets (Player Option)

Where he will sign: Miami Heat

By all accounts, Danilo Gallinari is ready to get out of Denver. The team tried to move him prior to the trade deadline, but obviously failed to do so. That’s why it’s very likely he declines his player option for the 2017-18 season and tests the waters this offseason.

While the Heat aren’t exactly a sure-fire contender, Gallinari could be lured by their mix of money and need for more reliability on the wing.

He’s proven over the last few seasons that he’s a dynamic scorer when on his game, and can bring that deadly shooting presence to an offense that could absolutely use it.

Depending on what the future holds for Chris Bosh and Dion Waiters, the Heat could soon have more than enough money to lure Gallinari to South Beach.

While I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s going to take a max deal to get him under contract, I don’t see Miami having trouble meeting his financial demands.

The loss of Dwyane Wade left a big hole in this roster, especially from a shot creator standpoint. While Gallinari isn’t the superstar the Heat would love to bring aboard, he fills a need and gives them a serious scorer with plenty of years left in his legs.
