We have the assets in terms of young players, older players on good/expiring deals, and picks to make trades to improve the roster. We even have, though I think it's unlikely, S&T possibilities with guys like Lonzo. And, because of this season and getting to trial different things, we also know what we need to put around Zion as the number 1 option.
Therefore, with all those assets and all that information, this off-season, and really up until next trade deadline, needs to be a serious future-making period. Not everything needs to be set in stone, not every asset needs to be offloaded, but some clear changes need to be made, this roster needs to show some real upgrade, and we have to start winning now. Playoff team next year is a must.
