Therefore trading expiring's for non expiring's would not be that bad? Realistically this is probably Jimmy's last year as a #1/#1.5 option most likely with age/injuries.
Jimmy does not have a game that is based on athleticism, sure maybe at one time, but he's somewhat evolved. I expect a decline in terms of everyday production but I do not see him falling off a cliff within his current contract. You just can't expect him to carry you through a regular season and be ready for the playoffs.
I think we have a current window, and then a post Jimmy window which we can already see forming. That to me is what makes moves tough for this roster, potentially compromising the window that exists after Jimmy is done. I would not touch Bam, Herro, Jamie, or Jovic. That is a group of guys that if you allow them to continue to grow together in this franchise can hold us down for a decade.
