I literally can't think of one
Warriors
I see that as 0 to 0 therefore not less but a tie

I'm not trading a 25-year-old stud who was undoubtably our best player in the NBA Finals.
Tatum is 24

Not sure how much Gallo is going to help that. I think that would be more the perimeter/wing player I mentioned. I envision the PF/C rotation as one group and the PG/SG/SF as the other.
What I'd like for PF/C in the playoffs:
PF: Horford (8 minutes), Grant (20 minutes), Tatum (5 minutes), Gallo or other offensive forward signing/trade (15 minutes)
C: Rob (28 minutes), Horford (20 minutes)
Then what I'd like for PG/SG/SF:
PG: Smart (33 minutes), White (15 minutes)
SG: Brown (21 minutes), White (6 minutes), free agent or trade wing acquisition (21 minutes)
SF: Tatum (32 minutes), Brown (16 minutes)
Adding a guy like Gallo is more about reducing Horford's workload and getting some more front court spacing. It's the perimeter guy that will really help with Tatum/Brown.
Good post. I look at it as this --> we need to add 3 rotation players that can contribute in the Finals. A big, a swing player, and a point. I have faith in DWhite. But Grant Pritch and Theis all need to be jumped over in the depth chart. Plus we need an additional big to reduce minutes to Horf and RWill in the regular season. We need a lot more than what I've been reading if we're going to win it all.
I don't think Grant needs to be "jumped" in the depth chart. But he probably should me more at 20 minutes/game instead of the 28 he played in the playoffs this year. And then Horford should have his minutes cut by 8-10 from the 35 per game he played these playoffs. So that right there carves out your Gallo or other stretch 4 minutes.
A better big than Theis would be nice but he's more than ok enough to fill that regular season slot. It just leaves us dependent on health for Rob/Al, but there's always a limit to how much resources you can allocate to someone who you don't want in your playoff rotation other than injury.
