No team sells all their players when they are a borderline playoff team. No one. Rebuilding is not a choice teams make, it's a decision forced upon them. I am so sick and tired of hearing how it should have happened 2 years ago, because quite frankly selling off your stars 1 year removed from the playoffs would be complete stupidity and would completely tarnish the reputation of your franchise.
