Gallinari is past his prime but it's like using Reggie Jackson as a pinch hitter. Sure there are younger guys who have higher batting average. But sometimes (in the playoffs) there's no replacement for experience.
Honestly, this is all academic anyway ... Gallo vs Bagley isn't a real thing ... but if I'm trying to win a first round playoff series with a young savant like Luka, give me the wizened vet 100 times out of 100.
Great post. To go all the way - which wave do have chance for - can be made more likely by addition of vets. We dont have much vet presence. In playoffs a vet will produce way better than Green or Chriss etc.
