Once they finally mercifully started a rebuild in 2013 it took 3 years to make the playoffs after they started selling off pieces.

They went on a heater, and were VERY fortunate, all year long. The poster claimed that the rebuild ended in 3 years. It did not. They just mistakenly believed that it did.
