It's not cut and dried that either are going anywhere.

Perhaps.
But the one fact we do know is that there is a lack of trade partners and teams that can take on cap. Conroy has said as much.
But it's the reason why Conroy can't draw a line in the sand and say "you've got to make a decision prior to X or I'm going to trade you". Conroy does not want to paint himself into that corner.
One of the reasons Conroy may be interested in resigning these players is the lack of a viable trade scenario.
I think Conroy has an open mind in keeping/trading, whatever is best for the team.
He needs to have an open mind, because one of these alternatives may not be there, or it may be zero or two.
If the players decide not to sign for what Conroy considers acceptable, and the trade market continues to stink, I believe he'll go into the season and wait until, the trade deadline when these players should fetch more.
He'll consider that the best solution of a bunch of bad choices.
