Spears</a>, Gallinari’s injury and associated swelling will be re-evaluated in two weeks.</p><p>Gallinari underwent an MRI on Saturday that confirmed the diagnosis.</p><p>In his 12th NBA campaign and first in Atlanta, Gallinari has played in just two games. He’s scored 18 points in 28 minutes. Even without Gallinari, the Hawks have the top offense in basketball through one week, with a historically good 122.6 Offensive Rating.

The biggest addition may be Danilo Gallinari, who signed the biggest multi-year deal for a player 30 years old or older and has never made an All-Star Game. Now that the Hawks have invested so much in Gallinari, what can he bring and where does that leave John Collins?</p><p>On the daily <a href="https://buff.ly/37hefrA">Locked On Hawks Podcast</a>, host <a href="https://buff.ly/37hefrA">Brad Rowland</a> was joined by <a href="https://buff.ly/37hefrA">Erik Horne</a> of The Athletic to discuss Gallinari and why Collins may be on the trading block now:</p><blockquote><b><a href="https://buff.ly/37hefrA">Erik Horne</a>:</b> The Thunder did a really good job of managing Gallinari physically. I think they rested him on the second night of back-to-backs a lot during the season. Now with the season even more condensed, I think that that’s going to be really important for him. The Hawks are going to have to work out a way to rescue him on the nights where they’re playing three games in five nights or three games in four nights.I don’t know what’s going to happen with John Collins, maybe we can get into that later, but it’s not a bad thing to have some depth at the power forward position with Gallinari. As you said, he’s older, he has an injury history, and he’s not as great as he was. Defensively, he’s not very explosive but just his presence on the floor, as I mentioned, is going to open up a lot of stuff. He doesn’t need a lot of space to get his shot off, he can shoot over the top of defenses … He’s a guy who can shoot the 3 off the dribble a little bit. He’s just a phenomenal shooter at his size, and that’s going to just change the geometry of the floor for guys like Trae Young.</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the decision also seemed to make things murky for Collins, given he and Gallinari usually play the same position.</p><p>However, Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said the team made it clear to Gallinari during negotiations that he would be coming off the bench:</p><blockquote>“We made it clear that the role that (Danilo Gallinari) was signing up for was to come in and be a backup behind John (Collins),” Schlenk said, via Hawks reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/KLChouinard/status/1331713443162968068">Kevin Chouinard</a>.</blockquote><p>Schlenk did add his belief it was “<a href="https://twitter.com/KLChouinard/status/1331713827789041664">very possible</a>” there were rotations that could include both John Collins and Danilo Gallinari. That said, Atlanta also has to account for room on the wing after signing Bogdan Bogdanovic.</p><p>In other words, it is likely Gallinari will be the richest sixth man in the league.</p><p>The 32-year-old averaged 18.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Thunder last year, and he has shot at least 40 percent or better from beyond the arc in each of the past two seasons. Gallinari has plenty to offer the Hawks, but it will just be in a slightly different role than he has typically played in his career.</p><p>Still, this is probably good news for Hawks fans.</p><p>Collins is coming off a tremendous season for Atlanta. He averaged 21.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks while also shooting over 40.1 percent from deep on 3.6 attempts per game. The 23-year-old is eligible for a max extension, and Schlenk’s latest press conference seemed to indicate Collins is still regarded as a potential centerpiece.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 32-year-old forward was a consistent offensive threat, shooting nearly 41 percent from behind the arc — marking the third-highest of his career.</p><p>However, most importantly, Gallinari played an integral role in the Thunder’s surprising season in the 2019-2020 campaign. The Thunder weren’t expected to make the playoffs last season, however, with Gallinari’s stellar play, they finished fifth seed in the Western Conference with a record of 44-28.</p><p>Nevertheless, signing with the Hawks is a bit surprising move for Gallinari, considering that he said he wanted to play for a contender a few months ago.</p><blockquote>“Next summer, when I will become free agent, I will privilege a team that can fight for the NBA Finals,” Gallinari said a few months ago, via <a href="https://sportando.basketball/en/gallinari-next-summer-as-a-free-agent-i-wont-chase-money-but-title-contenders/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sportando.com.</a>I won’t chase money, but the chance to play for the title. NBA taught me to be a more selfish player on the court but I have not really succeeded yet.”</blockquote><p>Even though the Hawks won’t be contenders this season, they certainly have a shot at making the playoffs. The Hawks have an extremely bright future in Trae Young, De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish, and Kevin Huerter, and now Danilo Gallinari. Additionally, they’ll have a proven center in Clint Capela on the roster. With that being said, the Hawks will certainly be a ‘dark horse team’ now that they have Gallinari.</p><p> </p><p>–</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on <a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>, and like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>.

Most pundits wouldn’t be surprised if OKC trades Steven Adams as well.</p><p>The Mavs need a third dynamic scorer and shooter next to Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. Danilo Gallinari fits that bill, as he averaged 18.7 points per game for the Thunder in 2019-20 while shooting 43.8 percent from the field, 40.5 percent from beyond the arc and 89.3 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>Dallas lost to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the 2020 playoffs in six games at Walt Disney World. The Mavs desperately need to acquire Gallinari since Porzingis isn’t going to be ready for the start of the 2020-21 season after undergoing his second knee surgery in his career.</p><p>With the New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, Clippers and Thunder, Gallinari has career averages of 16.2 points, 4.9 boards and 2.0 assists. Mavs fans are hoping he’s in Dallas soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
