Lol at Gallo and Hayward being equal.

The joke is that it is close based on recency bias.
Hayward ranked 29th RPM and Gallo 31st this past season. That matches the eye test.
And no one is talking about Gallo being a superstar.
Hayward is def in the same tier as Klay.
Not sure what "superstar" means, it is typically a top 5 player. I have not heard anyone call Hayward a superstar, so I think you are in a monologue, not an argument. Hayward is pretty universally considered a mere "star" at this stage.
Eyeballing salaries, there are >60 max contracts, or ~two per team on average. I don't think there are 60+ superstars.
How was Gallo's rpm in the playoffs this year compared to Hayward's? What about other stats besides that 1? How about defense? Gallo would be an okay addition at the right price but he does not replace what Hayward brings.
Hayward's was our sole focal point on offense and he carried us to the playoffs along with Gobert. Gallo would be a clear step back if he is healthy.
2015-16 Gallo was 67th, Hayward was 30th
2016-17 Gallo was 76th, Hayward was 19th.
Your argument would have more weight if you stopped cherry picking data.
Hayward played like a superstar in the playoffs. I made that statement and it's true.

I appreciate the attempt to lessen the pain if Hayward leaves but we're much better off with him than without him.

We could have gotten some nice pick(s)/players in return for Hayward last season from Boston. Hindsight is 20/20. It all falls on DL. He made a calculated risk and it appears Hayward is leaving for nothing. I'm simply going to sit back and watch it unfold.
Of course, with all this cap we're going to have a lot of options. Though I don't want us to overpay for anyone.

Every GM takes Klay over Hayward. Hayward is better at creating his own shot, but Klay is a better shooter and his defense is outstanding.
Are they in the same tier, I guess just because Klay is a piece of a better puzzle and Hayward is our best wing, but Klay is just better.

You did not say he was a superstar. You said he played like a superstar.
Like saying Paul Milsap played like GOAT in his 46 point outing against Miami. Sample size matters.
