I don't know why you're being so indignant about it. You could say the same about a rebuild. They've done one recently, it got us to exactly where we are. But oh, it'll be different this time. Rebuilds don't result in playoff success more often than they do. But oh, oh, it'll be different for us. This time, it will be different!
There are teams that have gone from a position like ours to cup contenders without tearing it down, and there are teams that tore it down and later became cup contenders. There's also plenty more teams that haven't in either case.
There's zero reason to have any confidence that your opinion on the right path forward is correct. It might be completely stupid and lead to an extra five years of even worse results with the highs remaining the same. But you want change, I get it, change is exciting. Change is fun. I think we can all agree with that, whether or not huge change is always effective.
