I think that's when they re-build...3-5 years from now.

Yeah it's why it's frustrating to see them struggle now. In theory this and next season are probably as good as it gets for this group and their window and in the back half of the decade things could be pretty challenging for this franchise given the amount of mid-30's players that will be consuming a large portion of the salary cap. I wouldn't be surprised if the next CBA adds another round of compliance buyouts as there will be a good handful of teams hamstrung by bad contracts.
