The LA Clippers’ new small forward signed a three-year deal worth $65 million and will become a crucial part of the new era at the franchise. In exchange, the Clips sent Jamal Crawford, Diamond Stone and a 2018 1st round draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks in a bid to stay competitive next year.
Considering where they were when Chris Paul shocked the world to move to Houston, the LA Clippers are in a solid position right now. And the acquisition of Gallinari is one of the reasons why. The versatile forward has been targeted by Doc Rivers for two years now.
