In on everything doesn't mean no plan though.

It's due diligence.

If a GM is moving a player you get in there and see what it would take. If it's discounted you add value by acquiring him. Even if you don't make the move you've improved your knowledge of what the market is for similar moves you want to make. Additionally, maybe you up the value a bit for a competitor
I really wonder if the Conroy comments show how burned Tre was after what happened between Maloney and Tippett in AZ. It might also show why he went in the direction of hiring non-marquee coaches, ones that are less likely to be able to get the ear of ownership.
