They either go all in, which means sarificing the future and take on some contracts or they rebuild.
This middling thing where you draft some players around bam/jimmy and run it back, basically gets you nowhere but a first/second round exit. What's the point of being a middling team and pay the tax?

I think CP is better than Lowry, but yeah, close enough I guess. Just need to find a taker that could actually use Lowry other than strictly for cap relief.
