I'm not sure even if they are in striking distance that it would be wise to rent parts. The goal of this season is to develop players moreso than to make the playoffs. I wouldn't want to trade away prospects for a rent-a-player, crash out in the first round best-of-5 and then suffer 3-4 more years for it.
The goal is to build a team that can compete for a championship for a string of 4-5 years in a row. For example from 2012-2016.
