Does sucking ass for a few years guarantee anything? No, but it seems to be the only way so you need to do it. Luck or no luck.

Speaking of "strawman" I never used luck as a argument not to rebuild.
In fact, I didn't make an argument either way.
I just noted that rebuilding a powerhouse team takes more than just sucking. You need to get lucky too.
