If I let them all walk we will obviously start a total rebuild as I only have a couple of really good young players ready to step in. Do I just say screw it keep a couple and try to see what they can do or not get stuck paying 38 year olds big money when they are rapidly declining players which I have done in the past. Some of these guys have 6 championships! If I go back to back how do I just say alright I can't pay all this money and just not use what's available and wonder what they could have done as I lose 80-90 games next year TOUGH
This may be an un-popular take but I would consider keeping the run going. If you don't have the young talent ready to push the established vets out you are probably past the point of no return anyway. While it may not be fiscally responsible its fun to win. Champions last forever, rebuilds just take forever. Good luck!
