Former Boston Celtics big man Danilo Gallinari has elected to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to new reporting from The Athletic’s Shams Charania. “Gallinari is finalizing a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks,” writes The Athletic reporter. “Gallinari’s agent, Michael Tellem, has been discussing options with several title contenders this week.”

“Gallinari seriously considered several teams – including (the Los Angeles ) Clippers, (Cleveland) Cavaliers and (Chicago) Bulls – before choosing the Bucks, where he’ll have opportunity for a strong role under his old coach Doc Rivers,” adds Charania on Gallinari’s hunt for the right partner for the rest of this season.
