Danilo Gallinari holds grudge over Kawhi Leonard for OKC trade

Danilo Gallinari recently expressed his discontent over the trade of Kawhi Leonard to the OKC Thunder, stating that Leonard should pay back the $50 million he made through shady endorsement deals during their time together with the LA Clippers. Gallinari, speaking on the A Cresta Alta podcast, also lamented how Leonard's ultimatum forced him away from Los Angeles, altering the course of his career.

Despite this, Gallinari admitted that the move ended up benefiting him, as he later had a successful year with the Thunder, averaging 18.7 points and 5.2 rebounds before ultimately landing in Atlanta. Gallinari's frustration stems from the player's ability to wield so much influence over roster decisions, a common theme in professional sports where star players hold significant sway.
