NBA, Danilo Gallinari explains why he chose the Bucks

Ninth NBA franchise for the Rooster, in his last chance

The hope è that the ninth will be the good one. Gallinari chose Milwaukee to fulfill his big dream: to win an NBA ring. The Bucks are his ninth NBA franchise, in fact his last, also considering his no-longer-green age (36 next Aug. 8). A shrewd choice. The Bucks, now in the hands of Doc Rivers, have the talent to go all the way.

"To be able to choose a new team in mid-season, as a free agent, è certainly strange. My goal was to accept the’offer of a club that had possibilities’to do well in the postseason and Milwaukee has these characteristics", his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport. Indeed, Milwaukee è a contender for the ring, having on the roster two phenomena such as Antetokounmpo and Lillard.

There'è then, most recently, Doc Rivers on the bench. He took Griffin’s place and knows the Rooster very well (they worked together at the Los Angeles Clippers): "Sì, certainly influenced in my choice the relationship I have with Doc but I must say that I felt so much affection from everyone, from the GM, to the president to all the Bucks management. Of course I wanted to sign for a team that could go all the way and Milwaukee è definitely a suitor. There’è a nice environment, I also know several members of Rivers’ coaching staff, then I am convinced that the style of play is perfect for my characteristics", the Rooster's summation. Meanwhile disclosed the agreement: just over one million euros until the end of the season. He will play with the tank top No.12.
