Continuity is great to maintain when the team is good
We've had a lot of roster continuity over the last 3 years and we sucked ass the entire time, I don't know how valuable it has been maintaining the same old stale roster
The point of "do(ing) it again (the) next year" is that you really want to jettison the fluff off of a bad team
The one thing I do like about the Grier moves is that the bottom of our roster is CERTAINLY going to look very different next year, and that's going to be a very refreshing change, a lot of guys needed to go and they will, but that can be done without committing to an unproven roster for multiple years
One thing that I think really aided Toronto in their rebuild is that after their big tank year they cut ties with almost an entire roster worth of dead weight, outside of their graduated prospects they basically had 4 or 5 core roster players that they held on to to supplement their new core
You don't want guys who have been stewing through multiple years of losing seasons to spoil the incoming young talent, and I fear that locking depth players in to long deals on a terrible team basically guarantees some of them will still be here when our best young prospects are graduating and ready to contribute
