A return to the Knicks on a one-year deal could be something he’s looking forward to.This offseason is going to be one of the strangest in the history of the NBA and Gallinari may want to put his future decision off until things are more stable. His time with the team concluded when he was traded to Denver as part of the Carmelo Anthony blockbuster in 2011.Though Gallinari will turn 32 this summer, he would be a nice replacement for the recently-traded Marcus Morris in New York. Unfortunately in the first round, Rockets guard Patrick Beverley took out Russell Westbrook's knee as he was dribbling toward the sideline to call a timeout and knocked him out of the playoffs. He uses the screen well, whether it’s for the handoff or going off the bounce.Gallinari’s really developed a rapport with Steven Adams, and I could see the same type of plays being run with him and Mitchell Robinson.Since leaving New York, he’s turned himself into a solid post-up player too.Gallinari has been a high-efficiency player with his back to the basket in the past two seasons. As the decade comes to a close, it's time to look back at the best teams of the 2010s. Danilo Gallinari‘s place in New York Knicks lore will always be as the center of Donnie Walsh’s decision to nuke the roster for a player he could’ve signed in free agency. But Gallo can help change that.Let’s refer to the all-powerful Basketball-Reference finder tool for confirmation on Gallinari’s proficiency from beyond the arc.In 2018-19, Gallinari was one of three qualified players to shoot 45 percent overall, 40 percent on 3-pointers, and 90 percent on free throws. The Mavs had the perfect mix of veteran role players like Tyson Chandler, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry and Jason Kidd, all of whom were good enough to contribute at a high level but experienced enough to sacrifice for the greater good. The skinny: 62-20; lost in Eastern Conference finalsThis worthy Eastern Conference foil to the Miami "Heatles" was probably the toughest team of the decade. This year’s squad is currently ranked last in 3-point makes and 29th in effective field goal percentage.The Knicks have been a lousy shooting team for a long time. In today’s NBA, having a stretch four like that can be one of a team’s most valuable assets.But there’s more to Gallo than just his sharpshooting.The other areas of his offensive game show how far he’s come as an offensive player. Having five stars (Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green and Cousins) allowed this Warriors team to set the all-time NBA record with a 115.9 offensive rating in the regular season but also meant that the Warriors didn't have the type of depth necessary to make up for a catastrophic injury, which is exactly what happened when Kevin Durant, who was playing the finest basketball of his career, in the second round vs. the Rockets "strained" his calf. They also had six players average double figures: Blake Griffin, CP3, JJ Redick, Jamal Crawford, DeAndre Jordan and Matt Barnes. It was headlined by Derrick Rose and the unprecedented leap he made that earned him the NBA's MVP Award — the youngest player to win the honor in NBA history. 2009-10, on the other hand, yielded only one team of the decade contender. This summer, he has an opportunity to return as a proven veteran with legitimate facial hair.The unusual salary cap situation this offseason most likely means a good deal of players will be signing one-year contracts. Shot location data available for the 1996-97 through 2019-20 seasons. After blitzing veteran teams like the Spurs in the Western Conference Playoffs, the Thunder actually won Game 1 of the NBA Finals against LeBron James and the Heat and narrowly lost Game 2 before falling apart. The skinny: 57-25; won championshipWho could ever forget this team? On November 21, 2008, the Knicks dealt one of their top scorers, Jamal Crawford, to the Golden State Warriors for Al Harrington. Why not go someplace comfortable in the meantime?As nice as it could be for Gallo to come back to the team that drafted him, the Knicks are just desperate for shooting.Carmelo Anthony was the last Knick to make 150 threes in a season, and he only converted at a 34.9 percent clip.Gallinari has made 160 threes in back to back seasons while shooting better than 40 percent from outside. After taking a 3-2 series lead against the Heat in the Finals, a 36-year-old Tim Duncan threw an absolute haymaker in the first half of Game 6, scoring 25 points and dominating the Heat. It overcame a 3-1 deficit to the Thunder in the conference finals but sadly blew a 3-1 lead of its own in the Finals or else it would be at the top of this and pretty much any list as the greatest team ever. Unfortunately just when we thought the top team on this list might face a worthy adversary, Zaza Pachulia cheap-shotted Leonard by stepping under his landing space and injuring his ankle in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. The move to power forward has been a big help there.He likes the fadeaway jumper, but Gallo uses the mismatch against the guard particularly well too.Conversely, there is a legitimate concern about Gallinari’s injury history. After dominating the regular season and memorably going on a 27-game winning streak (the second-best in NBA history), the Heat struggled with the Pacers in the conference finals before winning in seven and then won another back-and-forth seven-game series against the Spurs in the Finals. The Spurs also had the best defense and the fourth-best offense in the league. The Knicks, holding the sixth pick in the 2008 NBA draft, selected Danilo Gallinari on May 20, 2008. The skinny: 67-15; lost in second roundLooking back, the NBA was absolutely stacked in 2015-16, as this Spurs team is the fourth team from that historic season to appear on this list. The skinny: 57-25; won championshipKobe Bryant's fifth and final ring came against a surprisingly resistant Celtics team to begin the decade.
