To me it feels like they let the standings dictate what their plan is… which in my opinion is a mistake.

I think it’s more important that fans recognize the model of something they have in their head isn’t actually followed by anyone, so holding a team to it and judging whether they’re situation they’re in is a “true” rebuild or if they’re “strongly” committed to it based on this fantasy model with no reference case is just a recipe to be dissatisfied with the approach.
They can be strongly committed to a true rebuild and not trade Kadri OR Ras. And there’s about a dozen different reasons why that could be true.
