The Boston Celtics signed veteran three-point threat Danilo Gallinari to a 2-year, $13 million dollar contract on Friday, per David Chinellato. Gallinari was originally traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the San Antonio Spurs in the Dejounte Murray deal. However, the Spurs planned on releasing Gallinari following the trade. ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported Gallinari preferred to sign with the Celtics following his release.

And the signing between the Celtics and Gallinari came to fruition on Friday. His contract is guaranteed for 1 season with a year 2 player option.

Gallinari, 33, has been in the NBA since 2008. He has always been a consistent scorer in the league. For his career, he has averaged just under 16 points per game. He is known as an efficient shooter from beyond the arc. Gallinari owns a 38.2 career three-point percentage and has only shot under 33 percent twice during his 14-year career.

Gallinari is not the same player he once was. But he still managed to post an impressive 38.1 percent mark from beyond the arc this past year. He also averaged just under 5 rebounds per contest. There is no denying the fact that Danilo Gallinari still holds value.

Jayson Tatum and the Celtics made it all the way to the NBA Finals last year before losing to the Warriors. Boston's goal in 2022 NBA Free Agency is to upgrade their overall depth and Gallinari fits their strategy. He could play an extremely valuable role for the Celtics next season.

The Celtics are hopeful for another deep postseason run in 2022-2023. Danilo Gallinari will look to help Jayson Tatum guide the Celtics back to the Finals.
