Detroit Model doesn't really apply in the salary cap era.
You gotta hit it hard and fast when you think you've got a chance as the Hawks did (10, 13, and 15), but you've also got to know when to fold them to not prolong being stuck in suckville. That's where Bowman has failed and has set up the Hawks to be stuck in no man's land for at least 5 years where they will be a borderline playoff team getting bounced in the 1st round.
Right after 15, it should have been tear down mode. Just letting Seabrook walk puts this team in a place 100x better than where they are now. That single move changes the entire dynamic going forward.
