That is it. Randle has a player option, so he may opt in or he may not, and even if he leaves we may re-sign him, but he's not guaranteed. Elfrid is a FA. Miller is a FA. Diallo is a FA. Jah is on a team option, so he's probably coming back but again, not guaranteed. AD is going to be traded unquestionably, so we don't know what return he will get us yet.
Knowing this, why on earth would you be pro-winning when the guys who lead us to those wins, like Randle, Payton, Miller, etc, could very very easily not be on the team in September? Why sacrifice a chance at, for example, Jarrett Culver in exchange for someone at 10th, just for the sake of letting Darius Miller get $5m in September?
