Shara and Kuz being moved for more picks (or younger players) is exactly what they should do this season. And then in 25/26 do it again.

At that point you should have 3 top 10 picks (9th this year) - and hopefully the 24/25, 25/26 picks are both top 5. Maybe you get lucky and win a lottery. Maybe not.

Then you do a evaluation of what you have, start making Necas type acquisitions, etc.

Now personally I think its better to ensure you finish bottom 3 those years by gutting the team (I would aim for dead last to ensure you get 2nd overall worse case) - But I understand why you might not/why their existing players might keep them out of that spot

I look at this as a 4 year project minimum before you start acquiring win now assets. That would be my plan if I was running this team.
I believe finishing dead last can still land you with the 4OA pick. Could be wrong on that. Also believe this happened to Detroit who, despite have several years at/near the bottom, only ever got one 4OA pick out of it.

I don’t get the Necas attraction either for a number of reasons, mostly, I don’t think he fits the current trajectory of the team which should still be in a downward direction.
