    A little bummed for Gallo (he would have loved to play for the Celts and Lord, we could have used him in the playoff), but ofc here the true issue is losing Smart. He impacted the game way beyond his stats…we will miss him, I already do. Now, I get something has to be done to address the lack of post offense, but we are just betting on KP (who is far from being *bad *per se, mind you, he’s actually a good scorer) to stay healthy. And yes, we got *some *picks back…but we were somehow forced to it having wasted two second round ones iirc for Muscala. So, overall I don’t know how to feel. I just wished we were able to move Brogdon instead, in the first iteration of this KP trade, I’d feel much better about this
