What people seem to be missing out on is that the table is far better-set for a new GM now. Presti, can we interest you...?

Yeah, I was not on the "wait for a GM" to make a move bandwagon.  Part of why I've held out hope for an AD deal is I thought clearing the decks (without doing harm) made good sense.

If we are being honest, this deal mainly cleared the decks.  The picks are kind of meh (basically fake firsts).  The "young players" part aren't exactly sure-fire prospects.  This was about getting under the tax now and financial flexibility going forward.
