3 potential Danilo Gallinari free agency destinations

1. Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns could surface as the best available option for Danilo Gallinari in free agency.

The Suns could use an upgrade at power forward next season and beyond while Gallinari would establish an important role as possibly the second option offensively behind All-Star Devin Booker.

Phoenix could have an open spot for the power forward position next season depending on what they do with Dario Saric (restricted free agent), Frank Kaminsky (team-option), and Cheick Diallo (team-option) this offseason.

The addition of Gallinari would form a dangerous offense in Phoenix and give them a much better chance at reaching the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2010.

Imagine how elite of an offense the Suns would generate with Gallinari implemented in the starting lineup.

• PG Ricky Rubio
• SG Devin Booker
• SF Kelly Oubre Jr.
• PF Danilo Gallinari
• C Deandre Ayton

Phoenix would be able to bring forth an ideal amount of high percentage shots with this lineup together.

As a productive stretch four, Gallinari would complement the efficient shooting and playmaking abilities of Booker, who averaged 26.4 points and 6.3 assists per game on 48.7 percent shooting this season.

His presence as a floor spacer would give Rubio more space to create similar to how Chris Paul has thrived alongside Gallinari throughout the 2019-20 season. It would also give Ayton and Oubre Jr. more space to work with on offense.

Gallinari in Phoenix seems like the perfect fit due to the hole the Suns need to fill and the important role that Gallinari would take on.

The terms of the potential contract that Gallinari would be able to receive from the Suns this offseason depends on what they do with the other decisions they make and the projected cap space they’ll have, but they should be capable of taking the appropriate measures to sign him.
