SGA was a big piece to lose but you've got to give to get. Gallo was never in their future plans, he was an expiring contract and a stopgap. Obviously they upgrade their forward group in a major way. They had plenty of depth at the one, it's more a long-term thing that they lost SGA. They keep five of their seven rotation players, two of whom can still improve with Shamet and Zubac. Shamet might get a lot better and he has a defined role that he plays well already.

I can see the argument that they sold out their future for potentially three years of two stars, but to say that they aren't good now seems weird. They lost two guys, one of whom they were certain to lose, and the other guy they had two other very serviceable players at his position.
