These teams seem to be getting gutted and just standing by watching. No aggressive moves and haven't really reached out to players from what I’ve heard.
Can these two survive the comp with no core?
I heard Weeks to NZ too
Yes Weeks is playing there in the off NBL season.
Not just for the offseason, but the whole NBL season too. Watch this space.

CNS just announced the signing of Mike Kelly as head coach. Apart from BNE, every other team is doing nothing too. Let's just see how it plays out.

Other than Forman retiring no player has left Illawarra just yet..
"No aggressive moves and haven't really reached out to players from what I've heard."
These the same sources that said Gliddon was going to Perth?

How the hell would you know that? I'm sure that both those teams, and in fact, all teams are busy speaking to agents and negotiating contracts. Just because they choose not to do it in public or announce everything they do on twitter doesn't mean they're all off on holiday.
Appointing Cambpell suggests they are serious going forward.
Campbell is actually a pretty big signing of the non-player variety of course.

I think any talk of uncertainly around the Hawks combined with losing Kay and Norton will be dangerous. They've made no early moves (other than Ogilvy returning), there have been no rumours of moves (other than losing Conger) and no positive ownership stories out there.
They are going to need to identify new talent or get lucky recycling pieces to recover. On the new talent front, Sydney and Adelaide have already picked up three of those. On recycling, Cadee has already moved, Drmic has stayed put, Majok probably already moving; Kenny is available, but they'll need more than that. They can put a bigger load on Coenraad and hope Ogilvy gets back to his best, but I don't know if that would cut it.
