I do not agree with the bolded part. If ownership had come to their senses 2 years ago they would have traded Iggy and started a rebuild/retool. It should not take 4 years out of the playoffs to figure they had to go in another direction. Ownership held on to the dream of winning a cup with Iggy.

I don't care if you agree or not, it is a cold hard fact that too many people seem to be ignorant to.
It is not a case of what should happen, it's what does happen. Teams simply do not sell off their players when the team is a borderline playoff team unless they have financial difficulties.
Show me a team that chose to rebuild before finishing in the bottom 6-7 teams in the league that didn't do it because of finances. I will bet you can't.
