I think if you look at Randle, Gordon Parker and Favors - probably the cheapest. Would work next to Ayton I think pretty solid. Would be a solid bridge for Chriss and Bender - meaning they have to earn playing time.
As for point guard, not sure - but maybe bring Payton back. I am just assuming these moves that Daniels, Dudley Chandler and Warren are back. Granted who knows - maybe one of the three with larger salaries is part of a trade.
The only way they get Favors and say a decent salaried PG is to move Warren, Dudley, Chandler in sign and trade or normal trade.
Can always sign Favors and trade for a guy like Lowry - might blow up the cap a bit next year but might work for a short term play
I like that Favors can play some 5, but I'm not as confident in his ability to shoot the 3 though I know he is working on it. I also question how mobile he is given the makeup of the rest of the roster. I think in a vacuum looking at skills in a vacuum Gordon makes the most sense since he flashed 3 point shooting (not consistent yet but getting there), and he has the profile to be a great defender though I know his numbers in Orlando weren't good on that end. Orlando also just drafted Bamba and have Isaac so Gordon probably can be had. Not excited about the pricetag, but Jabari is a hopeless defender who has an injury problem and seems to expect a max hilariously.
I would wait an offseason if Book will put off the extension, but if we're moving now imo the obvious moves would be to go for Gordon, who unlike Favors is a bit more proven from 3 and can handle the ball on the break, meaning we can really push tempo which is what we ought to be trying to do given the athleticism on the team overall right now.
Second move is trading for a PG, but it means to do both you need to get a team to take on Tyson or Dudley as expirings, which sadly might mean dealing the Mil pick.
