People have made this point better than I will, but there are pretty much zero examples of a team intentionally+proactively entering a rebuild. Teams are organically dragged into rebuilds.
Sometimes teams will make retool moves for a year when they find themselves on the outside looking in (NAS/WAS/STL at TDL - I doubt any of them are in rebuild mode yet, though)
The only exception that come to mind might be the NYR letter to fans. And maybe MTL, but they were really dragged into it losing their #1G and #1D.
