What if they do all this and Butler's injury proves to be serious making it all a waste.

16 games ahead of the 9th seed in the east w/30ish games left. if they acquire Galo and Jimmy doesn't play another game, they still make the playoffs maybe even homecourt in the 1st round (the east is that bad). obviously they're not contenders at that point, but i'd hardly call that scenario "a waste."

Galo is expiring, so we hafta see what they give if they end up gettn him. but so far, Justice Winslow and cap space seems like a more than reasonable price for Iggy. i'm expecting a similar extension to be given to Galo

I hear they are working on a Gallo extension as part of the deal. As for Iggy, I think he is too old and has had too long of a layoff. I don't expect him to be good.
