They also didn't move off assets they could have maximized value for.
I totally agree with you,
this team is rebuilding, they're not buying, but they're letting the ship sink passively versus torpedoing the hull, and I would like to see them be aggressive in enacting a rebuild plan.
The Conroy quote about the Farabee/Frost trade was "
I definitely wanted to give the team something – they deserved it... They've earned it, to give them a boost, a shot in the arm." Now that's a trade that made sense short and long term so I don't have a problem with it at all but clearly some of the motivation was providing additional scoring to a team 1 point out of the playoffs at the time and it's not crazy to be apprehensive about a rebuilding team making choices to try and yield results the same year.
Again, to reiterate, totally in agreement that they're rebuilding, I do think they're going to end up moving those vets when the market becomes too good to deny. I simply am not entirely thrilled with the messaging coming from Maloney et al that playoffs is very much still a goal and what the implications might be of that if they're to luck their way into a playoff race this year. And I get just not believing what they're saying both directly and through the media but end of the day it's an executive in the organization and it's crazy that we have to hear what they're saying to us and have faith that they're just flat out lying to the fans.
