The new leadership will need to have the right to build the team to their vision. It could be a slow process or one that moves faster. My thought process at the moment is it will be a little of both. Maybe quick for some of the older/expiring players, longer for the guys with the longer contracts. For instance, I could see them move faster on Klay Thompson or Marshall who will be a free agent after the season. I don't expect them to move Kyrie unless it comes from the player. I think PJ's and Gafford's value are both less than ideal. In the ideal world with improved health, better guard play and better team results all of Gafford, PJ and Kyrie play well next year and it gets to a stage we would hate to lose any, but a deal materializes where we cannot say no. Depending on who they draft, I do expect Kyrie, Gafford and PJ to all be on the roster to begin the year.
