I don’t see how that works in any effective manner. Or does one expect that they’ll just take on a slew of bad contracts?

You kind of answered your own question. You trade for bad but manageable contracts/ retain salary within your rebuilding timeframe to help the other team and increase trade value for yourself. They may still need to take on UFAs but there’s always character/ reclamation guys willing to take short term contracts every year and you don’t need to make big swings.
