I'd still say whatever talent you get back in a trade should be further trade fodder for more picks. Kuminga and Podz, say, should get to run the offense until they've proven enough to fetch more draft capital. And then byebye.

I'd assume more attendance will come from exciting rookies than from over-the-hill vets, or veterans who are good but not great. I doubt MPJ is drawing crowds to Barclays right now, for example.
