Lets say these are the 4 types of choices you can make regarding the Pels biggest decisions this offseason. Basically, you are not only making these decisions in a vacuum - you are essentially deciding a timeline and setting next years expectations. What do you choose (remember, these are specifics to fit a general path. Moves can vary within the path)
1. Stay the course, and lock into current players
In this path, you hire Stan Van Gundy and you look to extend Jrue and Hart. Maybe even JJ if the price is right Obviously you re-sign Ingram and you go into next season open minded with Lonzo. You use the MLE for another solid vet between the ages of 27-31, draft BPA and aim for the playoffs while also looking to grow internally by develoing young guys as they hopefully play in meaningful games
2. Stay the course but stay fluid
Same as #1 (including SVG) but you dont extend Jrue or JJ. You go into season hoping to be very competitive but if thats not how it plays out and/or you get blown away by an offer, you trade them (or one of them).
3. Try to win, but with some younger pieces
In this path you can go with a Will Weaver or Kenny Atkinson type, but you move Jrue and JJ for solid but unspectacular picks and some quality players. Think: Jrue to Nets for Levert, Prince, and one or two firsts that land in the 18-25 range most likely. JJ to Philly Mike Scott (release), Zhaire Smith, Furkan Korkmaz and a first or two. Add a vet with MLE for leadership. Lets go with Tristan Thompson in this scenario. You are going for playoffs but are probably not going to make it this year given strength of West unless Zion stays healthy and makes a huge leap
4. Try to win, take on salary, and get even more picks
With this scenario, you can go either SVG or a Will Weaver type. But when you trade JJ and Jrue, you are also gonna take on bad vet long term salary and get more picks for your troubles. So, lets imagine something like a deal or deals that lands Jrue in Denver and JJ + Miller in Philly and the Pels end up with Gary Harris, Al Horford, and something like five 1sts from those two teams - with at least 3 of them being pretty far out in the future so that they can be in your war chest when you try to make your big 2022 or 2023 trade
Note: I am not gonna give the option of the other path (Jrue and JJ being traded for bad players/expirings/non factors and really high picks because Griff aint doing that.
