What are the other options, though?
Commit to the youth movement and don't make moves unless they make sense in the context of improving the team over the next 4-5 years as opposed to the short term.
Don't depend on the stupidity or bad luck of other teams to make acquiring a star player possible.
Look to consolidate assets rather than continuing to proliferate lesser ones.
Hey, that's just my philosophy. Clearly it's not Danny's. We'll see how this all works out. I'm gonna go ahead and doubt / naysay in the meantime.
This off-season so far feels like it's been driven at least in part by a desire to appease fans who got excited by the miracle run to the playoffs and would be crestfallen if the team fell back into the lottery pack.
