That´s actually a pretty complete team that you can run back for 3-4 years.
Furthermore if you intend to contend with Kyrie, AD and Klay, you´ll need top replacements that can carry the load during the regular season, while still securing a top spot in the West.
In a perfect world you load management the old guys to be fresh and healthy come play-off time.
It´s the only feasible strategy to compete with an OKC.
Don't think you can start Russell and Sexton. that might be the worst defensive backcourt in the NBA.
