I agree. Get it extracted and grafted, that way you leave your options open. Then when you are ready get the implant placed the bone should be well developed.
If it's going to be more than 1 year then consider having a retainer made for the second molar behind to keep it from tipping forward. While often times it does not tip at all, when it does it's a pain to deal with. If it even tips forward a little, while there may still space for the implant crown you end up with a food trap between the first molar (implant) and second molar due to the large "triangle" formed between the straight implant and the tipped second molar.
