They have their core in SGA, Chet and Williams. The rest are role players rotating around them and with their assets they will always have plenty in rotation. They still have 10 proven rotation players and deep bench are four recent FRPs in development. Most of depth players are on contracts with team options giving them huge flexibility. If Wallace becomes too expensive for them, they will likely get serious assets for him.
Look at this past offseason. Everyone knew they have to reduce payroll, yet they have received a bunch of SRPs doing it. I think they can ride this path for a long time. Winning the chip is obviously difficult and you have to be lucky, but if they will be healthy, they will always be in play.
They're one of the best run franchises in the NBA, but some people question the results. Unless injuries are a factor to key players, they'll always be in the hunt for a title.
