In the Hawks home game against the Spurs that ended earlier, the Hawks' veteran Gallinari played 22 minutes, 4-of-11 shooting, scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, and also let his score break through the 10,0001 mark, becoming the seventh player in the 08 draft to achieve this feat, the 33-year-old Gallinari, who was deeply involved in trade rumors on the recent trade deadline, when teams including the Raptors, 76ers and other teams showed interest in him, but Gallinari expressed his loyalty to the Hawks. Said he wanted to stay in Atlanta. With the official closure of the trading market, the Eagles did not choose to clear the veteran out, allowing him to continue to stay in the team.
As the no. 6 pick in the first round of 2008, Gallinari debuted in the Knicks in his career, and in this New York team, Gallinari was also quickly reused, in the third season of his career (10-11 season), At that time, Gallinari, who had just played the best 15.9 points and 4.8 rebounds of his Knicks career, was also sent to the Denver Plateau by the Knicks in a blockbuster transaction involving Cameron Anthony, and after coming to this highland team, Gallinari continued his steady play, and almost broke his average score per game in the 15-16 season, when he could average 19.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, which was the most relied on outside anti-aircraft guns of this "Denver Track and Field Team".
After staying in the Nuggets for 6 years, Gallinari also successively switched to the Clippers, Thunder and now the Hawks, in the summer of 20 years, Gallinari and the Hawks reached a 3-year 61.5 million contract extension, last season he averaged 13.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, became Trae Young's right-hand man, it is also in this season, Gallinari also followed the team into the East Finals stage, but unfortunately encountered more experienced Bucks on the East Finals stage, the Eagles eventually lost to opponents 2-4, missed the Finals. In an interview with the media after the game, Gallinari also looked very depressed and said that he had insomnia with his wife after the team's defeat.
And Gallinari, who has been able to continue to stay in the team this season, is indeed a bit inadequate at the age of 33, as of now he has averaged only 10.2 points per game, the lowest value since the rookie season, but the high attendance rate in these 14 years, coupled with a stable attack, has also allowed Gallinari to break through the threshold of 10,000 in his career total scores, looking at the 08th draft of the players, only Westbrook, Dalo, Lefour, Rose, Gordon, Dragic's total score is higher than him.
If Gallinari wants to round his championship later, there are basically not many possibilities of staying with the young team of the Hawks. So far, the Hawks are only tenth in the East with a record of 26 wins and 29 losses, not to mention re-entering the East Finals, and in their current state, it is difficult to make it to the playoffs (most likely to compete for playoff tickets in the playoffs).
Considering that gallinari's 21.47 million contract next season, only part of the salary is guaranteed, this offseason, he has a great possibility of being traded by the Hawks, thus freeing up more salary space, according to Gallinari's career 38.2% three-point shooting rate, if you can go to some championship-winning teams, his outside firepower is still very helpful for these teams, if you can successfully win a championship in the few player careers, Gallinari's career of more than 10 years is also a success.
