Woj: Spurs Waiving Gallinari

[BatManu20]

As expected.

[poopbox]

Not even going to make an attempt to trade him for ANYTHING

How much are we paying him to leave?

We probably got a spot on our roster called "The Demare special"

[slick'81]

Totally expected. Let the tank begin

[DC23]

Surely he had trade value, at least a second round picks. He is a nice piece for a contending team. I am surprised the Spurs did not attempt to trade him.

he has little to no trade value

[John B]

He's going where KD is going

[Chinook]

Why did people want the Spurs to keep him? It jist would have bern a fest over either A) Gallo playing over young guys or B) Gallo getting paid $21 Million to sit on the bench. They're getting like $4 Million to $13 Million in cap space in this move. It's fine.

[timvp]

He had another ~$10 million that would be guaranteed if a team traded for him. No one would do that. If your team wants Gallinari, you just go after him after he's waived.

On the 8th, his salary guarantee would kick in, netting him $21M. He’ll get like $12M to go away.

It might be nice if you stopped being stupid for like 5 minutes. No one will give you a dime for Gallo. He’s 34, washed, and was only included in this deal for salary purposes. SA will take the cap room generated by the salary offset, and leverage that as part of their cap space rental.

Spurs never lost a game with Gallinari on the team. Legend

I don't think upstairs will ever change.

[Leetonidas]

Good. This old turd didn't need to be taking minutes from any of the young guys. I was already dreading the Gallo/McD lineups

[exstatic]

. If ATL had just called saying they were moving Gallo, the response would have been “sure. What picks are you sending with him?” . He’s washed, a salary dump caliber player.

Made me laugh

So who else is out there as far as a bad contract that could net us a first?

Maybe Hayward...Fournier...but in a couple hours there will be more teams that need to unload players that aren't on our radar yet because of trades they want to accomplish without the requisite cap space to do it..

Two I like bc of the mediocrity of theirs teams are Krapstas (WAS) and Fournier (NYK).

I like those teams for that reason too...I don't think Was want to unload KP though..

[Dex]

It's funny how some people act like PATFO is incompetent but then complain that they couldn't trade a bag of magic beans for a golden goose.

[cd98]

What?!? No unprotected first for this guy?

[Dverde]

They don’t want to hold a spot for a 90% buyout person. Makes sense to buy him out

[jjspur]

Couldn't even get a few basketballs and some jock straps for him ?

[cd98]

Celtics finally get their next Bird, the 34 year old version with a bad back.

Should go sign with the Knicks and then they can trade him for Melo again

Poor Knicks fans

stop making sense.
