Meanwhile, we have a number of Western teams that are still solid playoff locks, and our challenge right now is just to get back into that conversation. I have faith that our front office - as currently constructed - has the same fire burning for wins as we do, and the same focus on what realistically needs to be done. The next 3 years will be crucial.

What matters is that the core of Russell-Ingram-Randle-Clarkson-Nance-Zubac continues to grow next season, provided that Magic/Pelinka don't have a better idea. If they show the improvement we can expect, we will have plenty of cap space in 2018 to attract free agents. I also hope that they guarantee Tarik Black's contract and offer Thomas Robinson and Tyler Ennis 1 year deals. The other thing about waiting another summer is that it will make it possible to waive and stretch Mozgov and/or Deng if they can't be moved in trades. Also, if Nick Young Young opts in, his contract will be off the books. I really do believe in my heart of hearts that this is the approach that will be taken because it is basic common sense. On the other hand, neither Magic nor Pelinka have any emotional attachment to our youngsters (they didn't draft them), so anything can happen.
