While you can be not-rebuilding while having cap space, I think if you are at the point where you have virtually zero cap flexibility to the point of buying out the final years of players' deals as was the case with Raymond, it's safe to say rebuilding is not a passable excuse. If you're good, you're good. If you're bad, you're bad. Rebuilding means exactly that - building from the ground up, and that requires cap flexibility. The nature of Brouwer signing - a 31 year old at the beginning of the season - is in stark contrast to the general concept of rebuilding - it's an all-in move.
