The only way to improve is to sign a big free agwnt, or land a superstar in the draft. Re-signing their own players wasn't going to make that happen. So better to cut ties and try and land someone when you have a chance.

Totally agree.
As humiliating as a first round exit is, losing in any round this year could have been a deathknell and we'd spend years living it down. We hope for a freeagent, work some magic with our assets and hope our draft pick works out. Nothing is a sure thing but Chandler/JJB weren't either.
