The Boston Celtics are reportedly poised to sign veteran small forward Danilo Gallinari to a two-year contract according to MassLive’s Brian Robb. The deal is all but certain to be for all of the Celtics mini- midlevel exception of $6.5 million given the options the Celtics have to do such a deal with as Robb notes.
Gallinari adds perimeter shooting and a degree of rebounding to the team’s bench with some size at 6-foot-10. The former Atlanta Hawks wing had been dealt to the San Antonio Spurs earlier this week as part of the deal that brought All-Star point guard Dejounte Murray to the Hawks, and will likely ink the deal with Boston once he clears waivers and the summer signing moratorium ends on July 6.
