I do agree that there is a good core with a decent window in the next 4-5 years, but draft picks are the life-blood for franchises in the salary cap world with 31 teams.

I want to keep an eye on both horizons.
To me it was clear when they traded picks for Hamonic that the team was entering the next phase of the rebuild. They're now willing to trade future assets for immediate help.

I'm not advocating trades for rentals yet, but trades for established players in their mid-to-late 20's that can help for longer than a month and a half.
