I don’t hear a lot of people clamouring for a scorched earth rebuild. I think more people would argue against propping up a weak team by (re-)signing veterans who will not be part of the long term solution. Shooting for the playoffs right now would be detrimental to the long term prospects of the team, since draft position really does matter.
Keep developing young players, make room in the roster when there’s a choice, accept that competitiveness will take time. Draft top ten for a while, hopefully luck into a top 3 pick or two, but regardless, draft well and keep building from within.
