Trade for the starters, even if we have to fully start over on the bench parts, cause that can be done in FA. Wrights, Powells, Klebers, Currys are mostly all available every year. Also, GS has shown the way to land the big fish and THEN get to work on figuring out how to make it happen.
I don’t think you can wait until 2021. So much will change in 2 years. And if OKC can move Melo’s massive contract then about anyone is moveable.
I fear if you wait too long Luka might get frustrated. He is a star and has advanced very fast. Although its early you don’t want him to think the franchise won’t make big moves to improve team. FA is such a gamble and trades make sure you get your guy. Too many players make side deals with other players and unless Luka is buddies with the right guy there is a lower chance of getting that FA unless you are certain cities.
The challenge getting the good starters is teams not wanting to give them up cheap. But if you can pull off a trade for starter then I think its easier to fill out second unit and deeper bench.
