According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pistons acquired Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala from the Wizards in exchange for Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers, and two second-round picks. The No. 6 overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft has suited up for the Knicks, Nuggets, Clippers, Thunder, and Hawks before becoming a Wizard. He's appeared in 754 regular season games, averaging 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and shooting 38.1% from deep. Still, Gallinari isn't nearly as productive as he used to be, and he's also battled various ailments over the years. There's a chance he'll draw streaming attention at some point moving ahead. However, the 35-year-old isn't worth adding in any fantasy format unless he gets consistent playing time, which doesn't appear likely.

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is having trouble with a lower back spasm. This season has been a comeback campaign for Gallinari after he missed the entire 2022-23 with a knee injury. He's averaged 14.8 minutes for the rebuilding Wizards, recording 7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. He's already been unavailable for two games, which has allowed Mike Muscala to log meaningful minutes. He's done well in the outings, but Muscala definitely isn't somebody fantasy managers should rush to grab.

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (rest) has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Toronto Raptors while he gets a rest day. The 35-year-old missed all of last season with an ACL tear and the Wizards have slowly gotten him involved in each of their nine games so far. He's currently averaging 8.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 14.4 minutes per game. He's most valuable in much deeper fantasy leagues but while he watches from the sidelines, Landry Shamet and either Patrick Baldwin Jr. or Johnny Davis could see some time off of the bench. Shamet would be the one that presents the least amount of risk.

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari is open to logging minutes as a center if needed. The team will need extra help in the position, with starting center Daniel Gafford (elbow) ruled out for several weeks. "Whatever needs to be out on the court, whatever position I need to play, I just want to play basketball. So any position is good," Gallinari said when asked about his willingness to play as a center. The 35-year-old is clearly hungry to just get on the court after missing the entire 2022-23 season with a knee injury. Gallinari has been a productive player throughout his career when healthy, but he isn't expected to play a large role this season with the Wizards in rebuild mode.

The Washington Wizards acquired Danilo Gallinari from the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade on Wednesday. The Italian veteran moves on from Beantown after just one season and without making a single appearance for the team. Gallinari signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with the Celtics last offseason but tore his left ACL in September while playing for his country. The 34-year-old has been a productive player throughout his NBA career, but it's currently unclear if he has a role to play for the rebuilding Wizards. The knee injury also leaves plenty of question marks regarding Gallinari's ability to still perform at a high level.

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari might not get a chance to even suit up for Boston. The 34-year-old signed with the organization last offseason, but missed the entire season due to a torn ACL. He recently accepted his $6.8 million player option for next season, but it probably won't be in Boston. Recent reports are saying Gallinari is likely to be included in a blockbuster three-team trade. The Celtics, Washington Wizards, and Los Angeles Clippers are in advanced talks regarding a trade centered around big man Kristaps Porzingis. The expectation is that Gallinari is likely going to be sent to Washington in order to match salaries. It's uncertain if the Wizards would even keep Gallinari or attempt to buy him out. If he stays, it's tough to imagine him having a ton of minutes on a rebuilding Wizards roster.

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) could have a more prominent role this season, with Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com expecting him to provide a "crucial lift" for the club. Gallinari, who didn't last year because of a torn ACL, picked up his $6.8 million player option. He's bounced around since entering the league in 2008, making stops in New York, Denver, Los Angeles (Clippers), OKC, and Atlanta, averaging 15.6 points and 4.7 rebounds. Gallinari is also a 38.2% shooter from deep, and with Boston potentially losing Grant Williams (hand) and Malcolm Brogdon, he may be more valuable for fantasy managers than initially expected, even if he comes off the bench. Unfortunately, his inability to stay healthy has been an issue over the years.

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari has decided to exercise his $6.8 million player option for the 2023-24 season. The 34-year-old missed the entirety of last season after suffering a torn left ACL during a FIBA qualifying game for Italy. Before that, Gallinari signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with Boston. It was unlikely that Gallinari would have much value in free agency after missing all of last season. That being said, it's no surprise that he decided to accept his player option. His role in Boston will likely be determined on how the offseason goes for the Celtics. It remains to be seen what he has left in the tank after this significant injury.

The NBA trade deadline has officially come and gone and we had one of the most active deadlines in recent memory with some big stars being dealt. Kyrie, KD, and Westbrook are all heading to new teams and we have been covering those trades and their fantasy impacts here at RotoBaller.But there were plenty of other lesser-known players who were dealt in the last few days and I wanted to go through and make sure we don't overlook some of these trades as some of those deals may even have more fantasy impact than the big moves.So here are some other trades that went down and my two cents on the increase or decrease in value that we should expect from the players involved for the remainder of the 2022-2023 fantasy basketball season. 

Moves That Matter

These are very much in order of how much they matter. Let's start with the Spurs sending their starting center back up North where he started his career.Jakob Poeltl to the RaptorsI am a huge Poeltl fan and was close to acquiring him on multiple teams before the deadline. It was a curious move by Toronto to be buyers instead of sellers at the deadline, but Poeltl gives them the presence at the five they have been lacking all season and allows Siakam to shift over and play PF where he belongs.Poeltl is no longer a shutdown candidate and has legit top-50 upside with his multi-category abilities. His departure also makes ... [More]

As hectic as this year's NBA trade deadline has been, with 28 out of the 30 teams making at least one trade, early Thursday morning at 1:00 am, a blockbuster trade went down that not many expected. However, if you had read my previous article, you could have gotten a glimpse of the future thanks to my magic ball, as the first "potential trade" I wrote about was sending Kevin Durant to none other than the Pheonix Suns.Kevin Durant is undeniably a top-three player and arguably even the best in the NBA right now. It's not surprising to hear how stunned the NBA world was after seeing this trade, as the Suns sold a huge chunk of their future for the Nets superstar but were somehow saved from involving Deandre Ayton in the trade!Any average NBA fan knows how much of an impact future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant has on any team, but to emphasize just how much, check this out: The Suns went from odds of +1800 of winning the finals to +450 on Thursday morning after the huge trade, now only behind the Boston Celtics, who lead the race with their odds being +350. 

Kevin Durant's Season Recap

Durant (knee) has been sidelined for over a month after getting hurt on January 8 against the Miami Heat and remains without a timetable to return to make his debut with the Suns. Before getting hurt, the 13-time All-Star was averaging 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.8 blocks, and 36 minutes in 39 appearances this season.

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) isn't expected to play this season. The veteran suffered a left knee injury during a FIBA World Cup qualifying game. At the time, it was believed Gallinari tore his meniscus. However, upon further testing, he's dealing with a torn ACL, which is much worse. Although the 34-year-old hopes to get on the floor this season, it's not looking promising. Nevertheless, without Gallinari in the lineup, Grant Williams and Sam Hauser will be the likely benefactors on the fantasy end. There have also been rumblings that the C's are interested in free agent Carmelo Anthony or making a move to acquire Jazz forward Rudy Gay.

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) was diagnosed with a torn left ACL and will undergo surgery once the swelling subsides. As a result, Gallinari is out indefinitely, although he hopes to return before the end of the season. The 34-year-old, who suffered the injury during a FIBA World Cup qualifying game, was traded to the C's in the offseason. However, instead of being a reliable depth piece for the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, Gallinari will now need to focus on his recovery. Nevertheless, Grant Williams should see plenty of minutes off the bench in 2022-23. Sam Hauser may also receive extra work, potentially giving him some value in deeper formats.

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during a FIBA World Cup qualifier on Saturday. His prognosis didn't look favorable when the injury occurred. However, after further tests and an MRI, he didn't sustain any damage to the surrounding ligaments or ACL. This is certainly good news. Yet, it's unknown how long Gallinari will be out, so there's a chance he won't be available once the regular season opens in October. Grant Williams III and Sam Hauser will benefit if that's the case, although the former should receive considerably more minutes per game.

Free-agent forward Danilo Gallinari agreed to a two-year, $13.3 million deal with Boston. The veteran was included in the package that sent Dejounte Murray to Atlanta. However, he was waived by the Spurs shortly after. Gallinari's contract is fully guaranteed, and he also has a player option for the second year. The 33-year-old averaged 11.7 points and shot 38.1% from deep last season. Nonetheless, he may not be a consistent fantasy producer this season, and his health also hasn't been the best over the years. Yet, with Al Horford expected to get additional rest in 2022-23, Gallinari should have sporadic streaming value.

Veteran forward Danilo Gallinari is being waived by the San Antonio Spurs, who received the 33-year-old in the blockbuster trade that sent Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks. After Gallinari officially becomes a free agent, he is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics. Gallo averaged 25.3 minutes per game with the Hawks last year and compiled 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers per game while shooting 43.4% from the field, 38.1% from three-point range and 90.4% from the line. He'll give the Celtics some solid frontcourt depth and a reliable outside shooting option off the bench.

Atlanta Hawks power forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) have been deemed questionable to participate in Wednesday's game vs. Washington. Gallinari missed Tuesday's outing due to left knee inflammation, while Bogdanovic has been battling a sore right knee. An absence from Gallinari in the frontcourt would pave the way for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to step into the starting five again, although he remains a tricky DFS asset due to his lack of offensive contributions. Bogdanovic hoisted a season-high-tying 12 triples Tuesday, as he figures to lead the Hawks' second unit, so long as he receives the green light.

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors. The veteran is currently listed on the injury report because of left knee inflammation. Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is also carrying the same designation, so if either of those guys don't suit up, Trae Young, who had 36 points on 24 shot attempts during Saturday's meeting with Brooklyn, could get some additional chances on the offensive end.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and forward Danilo Gallinari (elbow) have both been given the green light to suit up for Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Gallinari missed each of the team's last two games due to a right elbow contusion. Bogdanovic, meanwhile, played in Wednesday's game and scored 20 points over 22 minutes while hitting four three-pointers. It was a bit surprising to see him on the injury report for Thursday with a right knee injury, but luckily he'll be able to play through it.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and forward Danilo Gallinari (elbow) are both listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bogdanovic is dealing with a right knee injury, but he was able to play through it on Wednesday. He logged 22 minutes in Wednesday's game and hit four three-pointers on the way to 20 points. Gallo, meanwhile, has missed each of the last two games with a right elbow contusion. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Kevin Knox II would benefit most if Bogdanovic and Gallinari are both sidelined. TLC is the more enticing option of the two for fantasy purposes as he's scored in double-figures for two straight and he's been part of the team's starting five lately.

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is too shocking considering it's the front end of a back-to-back set. The Hawks have been cautious with Gallinari this season, but he could be out there on Thursday. De'Andre Hunter (knee) is a game-time decision, but would be worth a look, assuming he suits up. Otherwise, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would likely receive another start, but is a risky fantasy option.
