Should we continue the GNG era much longer?

There is a way Memphis can keep the GNG era for another decade barring injuries if they wanted to (which I explain below) but is that the way Memphis should keep going?
How can Memphis extend the GNG era?
Enter Julius Randle either via trade or eventual FA, if he comes back healthy and plays well, many touted him as the more athletic (probably not anymore haha) Zach Randolph
Enter Rondae-Hollis Jefferson, touted as Michael Kidd Gilchrist with better shooting potential, but put him in the Grizzlies system and under TA, and you have TA 2.0
I fully believe in the long term (age 27-28 ish) Russ smith/Cameron Payne can be the next Mike Conley in our system
Gasol should be with the team for a while even though he is 30
So realistically the pieces are out there that Memphis can use to retain the GNG era, but should they?
