In about 2 seasons, they're looking at Shai with a supermax, Chet at max, Williams at max before we even talk about guys like Dort, Giddey, Wallace. They need to be really aggressive now before everyone gets super expensive because once the core gets paid, they're going to have fill out the rest of the roster with cheaper, more limited depth players.
I think the slow roll IS the plan. They are going to sell off ancillary pieces (Giddey, Wallace etc) when they get expensive. Trade the for more picks.
They already have a mountain of picks. They should just keep that pick mountain trudging along. Acting now undermines their salary structure (kinda like adding Tavares to the Matthews, Marner, Nylander Leafs).
Wallace and Dieng might start contributing alot next year, and they have another lottery pick this year, and likely lottery pick next year. I'd stay patient.
