Woj indicates Danilo Gallinari will play for the #Celtics next year in a sizable role. Expect him to be central in Grant Williams’ role if Grant departs, and it’s possible he could’ve outcompeted Grant last summer if not for injury. C’s pictured him stealing some 5 minutes too.

MY NOTE:  If Grant wasn't happy being benched in the playoffs he's going to like this even less.  I'm now assuming he's gone.  Damn.  And Gallo at 5?!  Not liking that at all.

He is coming off another ACL repair.  And he is no Spring Chicken.

He has never played with this team so how can he have a sizeable role.

If he hits shots he should get minutes even at his age, If he is fairly mobile, he should be useful..I'd rather see him taking a crucial shot than Hauser.
