Middleton for sure
How?

He is a ufa next season thats how

He’s not a point guard - he’s just another guy taking minutes from Jaylen Brown unless there’s a trade.

Again, how? We have no cap room.

I mean as long as just being an unrestricted free agent makes it so we can retain that player's services, might as well get Durant and Kemba Walker.

What the hell, they are ufas. Just go get them, right?  ::) ::) ::) ::)

Rozier -- has had a bad season but is a good player. Keep developing him. There is more growth there to be done.

Yeah there's a thing called cap space, which we currently have none of.

Also, Middleton skillset would be taking Tatum/Brown or Hayward's minutes.

I would roll with Rozier and Smart, draft Markus Howard

I agree with TR and MS, but I draft Darius Garland in the first to be the PG of the future.

If Irving leaves

Plan A, I expect the Cs to keep Rozier. We have seen in the past that RFA often do not get the offers they expect. A team like the Suns could always give him an offer that the Cs can't match but I'm thinking that is less likely given his play this year. If Rozier is retained I would expect the Cs to start Smart,Brown,Tatum,Hayward, and Horford (assuming he takes option). Rozier then becomes a heavy usage 6th man like Smart has been most of his career

Plan B, If Irving and Rozier walk then I would try to trade up for Garland in the draft and look to sign a stop gap Vet. IT would be great but I worry that he would be a distraction. Other options could be Shelvin Mack, Trey Burke, or Jeremy Lin

In both situations if the Cs can't trade up for Garland I would look to draft Markus Howard or Shamorie Ponds. I don't project either player as a starting NBA point guard but think they both can prove to be valuable bench players providing scoring off the bench.
