You take over for McD tomorrow.
Your ultimatum from Sarver is to make the second round of the playoffs in the 2016-17 season. (After all, hiring a random dude off an internet forum is a bold move.)
So, what's your plan? Who is your core? Who are your key bench guys? Who are you trading, and for what? Who are you drafting? Is Hornacek staying or packing?
You can be as vague or as specific as you want. Go.

Re: You take over for McD tomorrow.
I trade Bledsoe/MoBros for Kevin Love.
S&T Knight to the Lakers/Knicks. (TPE and another pick).
Sign Goran Dragic.
Sign Wes Mathews/Danny Green.
Build from there.
Dragic/Mathews/Warren/Love/Len
Archie/Bogdanovic/Tucker/Wright/Brown
Equal parts youth, veterans, leadership. Should be a good balance.

Re: You take over for McD tomorrow.
That criteria is a recipe for mediocrity.
It's like what we tried with Beasley, Scola etc...
You probably need 2 ready made All-Stars.
So I'm not sure!

Re: You take over for McD tomorrow.
Plan A
Trade resigned Knight, Morris bros and picks for star player
But since I can't think of any star realistically available in the offseason, let's go to...
Plan B
Sign Draymond Green (not so much realistic either unfortunately)
Resign Knight and Wright
Draft BPA
Hire good defensive coordinator
Order Bled and Knight to watch Steve Nash tapes for hours everyday
Bledsoe/Knight
Knight/Goodwin/Bullock
Warren/Tucker/Marcus
Green/Markieff
Len/Wright

2. Get the best big in 2016 draft, dont care how.
3. Whoevers leftover is support.

Re: You take over for McD tomorrow.
I'd throw big money at Jimmy Butler. Not too sure how Chicago can keep him and I think he'd be a great addition to our squad. Re-sign Knight, we let too much go not to get something out of him. Draft Frank Kaminsky.
Bledsoe/Archie
Knight/Bullock
Butler/TJ/PJ
Kieff/Marcus
Len/Kaminsky
Bledsoe/Archie
Knight/Bullock

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Do we have enough space to throw the most at him? I just don't see how they let Butler leave, with how Rose keeps going down. I think they would take the money hit in hopes that the cap rises greatly in the next few years.
And even though we gave up a bunch to get Knight, if we could get Butler, I would rather him be at the two. I also don't see Horny demoting PJ to the third string, he is way too much of a glue guy and dirt worker. If we did keep Knight, and somehow nabbed Butler, I would expect a trade involving the twins.

I think we do, I'm not sure, but I'm just not seeing his name thrown around enough, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling. Resident Capologists could probably tell you for sure.

Re: You take over for McD tomorrow.
Some rumours about salary cap being 105m in 2017-2018!
We may not have the best players, but we can position ourselves to have 6 of the best mid 20s aged players by that time on favourable contracts.
That seems to be the direction McD wants to go with. So adding another couple of gettable players like Knight, Harris, Green to go with Bledsoe, Morris, Len and still having room for a superstar in the next 2-3 years, seems like his plan.
