The L.A. Clippers made their two biggest splashes of the offseason last week, when they traded guard Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets for solid players in return and signed forward Blake Griffin to a five-year deal to lock him in as their franchise player. And they're not done yet.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, former Denver Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari is strongly leaning towards signing a three-year deal with the Clippers.

The deal would be worth $65 million over three years, and the team would need to engage in a sign-and-trade with the Nuggets to make it happen.

Shams Charania of The Vertical and Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports both added that the three-team deal would involve the Atlanta Hawks and the Nuggets, sending guard Jamal Crawford, center Diamond Stone, and a first round pick to the Hawks, forward Paul Millsap to the Nuggets, and Gallinari to the Clippers.
