Don’t look for Danilo Gallinari Celtics signing to become official until tomorrow at the earliest since he still has to clear waivers. – 4:59 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
As you can tell by the tweets, the Boston Celtics have officially completed the Malcolm Brogdon trade and officially re-signed Sam Hauser.
The reported Danilo Gallinari signing can’t happen until after he clears waivers tomorrow (Sunday, July 10) at 5:00 PM ET, at the earliest. – 4:56 PM

The Spurs have waived Danilo Gallinari, which clears the way for him to sign with the Celtics. – 5:18 PM
Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Danilo Gallinari has been waived by the Spurs, sources tell ESPN. Friday was the last day for Gallinari to be waived before his $21.5M contract would have become guaranteed. His guaranteed amount was amended from $5M to $13M as part of the trade to San Antonio. – 5:14 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Heck, Marko Simonovic looks a lot like Gallinari so far. #Bulls
Disclaimer: Summer league means nothing – 4:08 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Spotrac has Gallinari’s partial guarantee as $10.4 million.
Once he’s officially waived, the Spurs should still be able to open up to $38.4 million in cap space if Dieng signs for the minimum. – 5:53 PM
