Once he declines then we can rebuild again. I still have high hopes for Coby and Paw but they simply don't fit our timeline right now. It's time to go all-in while Zach is still a beast IMHO

Zach Lavine is 26, and we've seen from NBA history that you don't need all the players on your team to all be the same age.
Just look at the success Phoenix had last year with CP3(36), Devin Booker(25), and DeAndre Ayton(23). The Hawks did well with Trae Young(22) and Bogdon(28). Brook Lopez is 6 years older than Giannis. In the Bubble the Lakers had Lebron(36) and Davis(27).
The trio in NBA history that has won the most games is Duncan, Manu, and Parker. They won their first championship together when they were 26, 25, 20, with a 37 year old center, and they won their last championship together when they were 37, 36, and 31 with a 22 year old small forward.
Magic and Kareem won 5 championships together and they're 12 year apart.
I mean, if we could get Bradley Beal for Coby White or Patrick Williams you absolutely do it, but we'd probably get a bench player back in a trade, which wouldn't be worth it.
