Nonetheless, to answer the OP I would still choose to upgrade the 4, but more for defensive reasons and rebounding. I think Patterson is probably best suited to a bench role, as is Amir, so getting a guy that can start at the 4 and rebound and help JV defend the paint would be ideal IMO. Who? I'm not so sure.
Again though, a new coach should be the priority as different offensive and defensive schemes could really elevate this team IMO, and our current flaws and deficiencies may not be so evident.

I like the ideas of Draymond, Gibson, and Middleton. All would be good + a new coach. As others have mentioned, many ideas almost require a coaching change as well. I just don't see Casey effectively using a new PF unless that new PF is clearly the best player on the team. Bring in Aldridge, and maybe Casey makes a big adjustment, bring in a role player type PF, and we may not see much improvement in the team.

His inside offense and rebounding is what makes him special, and those are 2 big holes on this team. He's not a shot blocker (0.5 blks), but neither is Amir (107 DRtg, 1.3 DWS, 0.8 blks), so I basically see an across the board upgrade, especially offensively and rebounding. He's also much more suited to playing time at center than Amir, and he only turns 25 this summer. He's not an elite defender but there are many reasons to really like Monroe. Not my first choice, but we should definitely be considering it, as he's probably the most available of all the big time FA.

On the plus side, his post scoring ability would be like handing out more ISO crack to Casey. However, that would mean JV seeing more bench time, because Monroe isn't that mobile - so who guards quick PFs?
And then we could be looking at both JV and Monroe on the bench when the "scramble" unit comes in. You think the fanbase is going nuts now?
Problem with Monroe is that he has a lot of limitations, which must be accounted for with complementary players and systems that fit him on offense and defense, plus great coaching. He'd fit like a glove on offense, but like a square peg everywhere else.

Improving our Coach simultaneously could result a championship contender.
There are too many holes and questions marks and just adding a new coach and Milsap is not going to make us a championship contender.
