The LA Clippers are expected to pursue two max free agents this summer, but the team will first need to offload a number of their existing high earners. Among them is Danilo Gallinari, and Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel believes Miami could be a potential trade partner:

Any possibility of the Los Angeles Clippers clearing cap space for two major free-agent additions requires a trade of Gallinari into space. While that might be so easy with one year at $22.6 million due to Gallinari for next season, taking on smaller deals from the Heat, perhaps even Goran Dragic's contract could make it easier for the Clippers.

During the 18-19 season, Gallinari averaged career highs in points (19.1) and rebounds (6.1). He also performed well during the playoffs as the Clippers eventually succumbed to a 4-2 series defeat to the Golden State Warriors.
