I am not wanting to spend the pick because it’s burning a hole in my pocket, I want to spend it on making the team better, because as is, the team is finding great success and I love that, but other than a few hardcore fans, we all know it’s not arrived yet.
Finding a use for the pick the merits the pick's inclusion is what should prompt a trigger pull on spending it. The absence of remaining picks afterwards isn't the reason for reluctance, it's the proof that basically any other time this franchise has spent a pick in a trade, recently, they've been bad trades.
If a GM's goal is to spend every resource possible to make the team better right now, all of the time, then they are a poor, poor, poor GM. That method is in the wrong order.
