With a veteran laden roster I don’t see a scenario we can have both. IMO, the franchise doesn’t have enough foundational pieces to build with, so that means more delving into free agency and/or dealing draft picks to improve the roster.
It will take more than a starry-eyed GM with visions of building through the draft to change Edwards’ mind. When push comes to shove, and we are 4 points out of 2nd in the division at the trade deadline, do we think Conroy’s stance of trading draft picks will be the same?
