Given the comments from Wyc this week following the lottery I feel pretty comfortable saying that plan A is go after a Max free agent and draft #1 pick, with the favorites being Heyward and fultz. Watching the outcome of this series I think we need to be shifting our offseason approach towards a window 3-5 years from now, and make moves accordingly. The gap between this team and the cavs/warriors is so massive that merely adding a Gordon Heyward wont close it. Even adding Heyward and George/Butler may not be enough (and would result in a MASSIVE luxury tax bill).
So there are really two questions. Do we even want to go after Heyward? And should we resign Thomas? Both of those players are great, but they play the same positions and projected roles of our two presumed building blocks. PG and offensive option one, secondary wing scorer. If we bring in/keep those two guys does it slow the development of Fultz/Brown and is any potential loss of development worth what those two will bring to the table to a championship run in 3-5 years?
