Just because it has never been top 5 before does not mean it won't be top 5 ever. Not even the young guns looked as bad as the 2013-2014 probable lineup, and I doubt there are too many, if any, teams with weaker looking rosters going into next year.
Throw in a mediocre coach and an absolutely boneheaded management group with no idea what it's doing and you've got yourself a recipe for a really ugly season, I'd say.
