Danilo Gallinari

But as we move to the player of the game, that is Nikhil Alexander-Walker.

In his 31 minutes, he was 12 of 25 from the field, 9 of 15 from deep, one shy of the Atlanta Hawks franchise record that is held by Bo Donbodanovich and Danilo Gallinari at 10 points.

He was one of one from the free throw line, four rebounds, four assists, four steals, 34 points.

For Nikhil Alexander-Walker, absolutely phenomenal game shooting the ball defensively.

You're talking about...

SGA, Danilo Gallinari, five unprotected first-round picks, which ended up being J-Dub and Ade Mara, including in that for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

On the way out of the door, because of the salary cap circumvention, Clippers get hit with a $30 million fine, forfeit five first-round picks.

Of course, the Toronto Raptors give up multiple first-round picks to the Clippers.

And he's representing your native Italy.

We haven't had an Italian really burst onto the scene since Gallinari.

From the town of Tradate, Italy.

If I'm pronouncing that name correct.

This was the big Marcus Smart to Memphis, Chris Stapps Porzingis to the Celtics.

He was traded, along with Julian Phillips and Danilo Gallinari, to the Washington Wizards.

Memphis Grizzlies traded the 2023 Memphis first-round pick, Marcus Sasser, a 2024 Golden State first-round pick, which turns out to be Bub Carrington, to Washington Wizards and Chris Tapp's Porzingis.

So let us start with that 2023 first round pick, Marcus Sasser.

Finally signed a five-year $200 million deal after a big kerfuffle.

And then the 2025 Detroit second, they traded in January of 2024, along with Marvin Bagley and Isaiah Livers.

to Washington for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Mascala, whom they both waived.

And that, I believe, is how we went from a bust with Siku Dumbaya somehow turns all the way into Jalen Duren.

what we're keeping it being when he went to Denver? That was one of, besides the Warriors, of course, that was one of his best environments.

Remember? You had Gallinari.

You had Ty Lawson.

Mello was there,

Denver Nuggets.

Gallinari, I can't remember how to pronounce his first name, but Gallinari, yeah, okay.

Normally a good shooting big man.

I haven't heard too many crazy reviews about him, but okay, there's a Galaxy Opal straight on the next pack right there.

Pack 11's got a slow shake.

It's going to be a dark matter.

I'm kind of looking for another freaking watch oh is this that's not JR not a 93 ball who's that Gallinari again um I'm looking for a pixel cut where are the pixies at where are my pixies at Galaxy Opal Paul but the budget cards the Westbrook the JR Smith the David Lee the michael porter jr the galanari i mean those are five affordable cards that are they're top tier they are actually top tier cards so i do like how accessible all the cards are we got another galaxy rebel and i'm sure camelo anthony is amazing but Is he Bron? Is he on the same level as pixel cutler Bron James? I would still say Bron is small forward number one or best card in the game still.

Another Wilson Chandler? I mean...

You're throwing these picks in there and regardless of what anyone says, I think that anyone in their right mind, if they remember what Kawhi and Paul George were back then, they're doing the same thing over again 100% of the time.

There's no way in the world where you're gonna pass up on a guy like Paul George in the peak of his prime and Kawhi Leonard too at the peak of his prime- For one season of SGA, Danilo Gallinari, and a hall of picks, when you can, you have all the, you have the whole foundation to build a championship and you just need two superstars.

Mind you, they had Lou Williams back then, sixth man of the year candidate.

They had Montrezl Harrell back then, sixth man of the year candidate.

The Knicks tried to trade for Chris Paul in 2011 but didn't have the assets.

In this universe, you could trade Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, two guys g- that were gonna be 23 years old coming off 16 points per game seasons.

Landry Fields, who finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting.

You had draft picks, not to mention a solid point guard in Raymond Felton coming off a 17.9 assist season with the New York Knicks before the trade to Denver.

I've obviously been fortunate to play in the playoffs a bunch, but I remember that first playoff experience Playing against the Denver Nuggets my rookie year, and we were the sixth seed, they were the three seed.

And, you know, that's when they had Iguodala, they had Gallinari, they had Wilson Chandler, Ty Lawson, Kenneth Fareed, JaVale McGee.

Like, they had a really good team.

Kenyon Martin may have been on that team.
