The time is now for that team more than any team in the league.
Like you said, they had 2 firsts still. How is that even possible?
I think when you're the best team in the league, there is no better time to waste future assets to get the player you want.
Getting 2 specific guys who really do two specific things in order to push 2 other lesser guys down the lineup is a reasonable cost to pay. Coleman is giving them 13-18 solid minutes every night and being able to promote him up the lineup will be invaluable compared with a replacement like Stephens or Maroon.
