Make almost no efforts to win, sell off most of their good players and accumulate picks and prospects.

If you could be guaranteed that you could get a superstar or franchise-level player every year I'm sure ownership of any team would say, ‘okay, yeah, we'll suffer for two or three years.’But we just don't think that's the way for us. We prefer a Dallas model, where they got Miro Heiskanen at three, but also got good players in the 20s, in the 30s.

This is part that bugs me. I agree there are no guarantees that you get a superstar in the top 3. However the Dallas model involved getting star players in the late 1st and early 2nd rounds. Simply getting better at drafting and developing doesn't guarantee you get those players in the 20s or 30s. And if you're that good at drafting, then you can get even better players in the top 3.
