Trades
I don’t know if it is rarely clear what the AI is doing long term. I think every franchise should have a plan for the near or longer future. This means concrete needs. How will the team build for the season? What will be addressed when things are not going well? The needs could be depend on the situation of the franchise, if they are a contender, gaps will be filled on the roster short term with best aged players, maybe with top players which start to decline. These GMs maybe tended to overpay for short term success. If the franchise is in a rebuild mode they rather look long term and fill gaps with young talents with great potential. It is maybe more time to wait for the right offer. These GMs could also take bad high paid contracts from not very well performed older players and will be compensate from contenders if those can clear cap space, for example with a late draft pick. In the other direction then maybe nothing has to go. Also three team trades would be fantastic, even if these are very complicated to negotiate and do not happen very often.
