10.) Danilo Gallinari – Los Angeles Clippers

Gallo moves to Los Angeles where he finally gives the Clippers a wing that can go with their front court. With Paul gone, Gallo should help make up for his offense as long as he’s healthy.

9.) Harrison Barnes – Dallas Mavericks

Barnes had the best season of his career in his first season in Dallas. Now he looks to build off that season and become more of a playmaker this season.

8.) Carmelo Anthony – New York Knicks

At some point, Melo should be traded from the Knicks. He might be on the backside of his career, but he is still one of the best scorers in the game.

7.) Gordon Hayward – Boston Celtics

Hayward makes his journey East to join his college coach in Boston and become their main scoring option alongside of Kyrie Irving.

6.) Paul George – Oklahoma City Thunder

It’s a real debate between Hayward and George for me, but I give George the nod. He will finally have a star alongside of him and could finally make another long playoff run.
