Danilo Gallinari

Ideal destination: Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers are one of the most exciting young rosters out there. They showed that when Joel Embiid was healthy they were a relevant team. Adding to that, they have last year’s No. 1 pick, Ben Simmons, and some guy named Markelle Fultz.

With the emphasis on Simmons and Fultz running the ball-handling duties next season, the Sixers will look for shooting on the open market. And Danilo Gallinari is as good as any other on the market.

His offensive power and floor spacing would be a welcomed addition to the Sixers at full strength. He would be able to fill in at the power forward if Embiid’s injuries continue, or when Okafor is traded.
