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?

Great points. I think the answer of taking on bad contracts is a great problem to have. You deal all those 3 for 1sts+more, then take on bad contracts for more high picks. That way there becomes a good stable of young guys to come in, expediting the rebuild while also dealing some of those picks for picks further out if we have enough. Personally I think it as a win win. The fans would presumably support the team if they see a bright future through the draft.
