Play the season and say "groundwork" is in place for deadline moves then say they fell through. Ask every GM about players every day and make any move you can no matter what. Always go after big names in free agency, settle for older players and bottom of the barrel players to flesh out the roster. Trade draft picks every other year.
Screw success, keep people wanting more and you'll always have a job.

If you look at Tre's body of work I would guess that we don't have a net loss of draft picks, over all. I believe he has actually done a lot of good work (lots of questionable signings too, no doubt). I think the biggest problems that we had with our rebuild were 1. We should have been bottom feeders in 2014/2015 and drafted high. 2. Bennett . I would not put either of those on Treliving, in fact had he not made the Dougie Hamilton trade and the subsequent trades thereafter, we would be in even worse shape IMO.
