The desire to re-build wasn't isolated to a few posters that are now pretending like they were smarter than everyone else. There was pretty wide belief that the team SHOULD re-build. However, there was also recognition that it was not likely to happen including due to lack of support from ownership.
So a lot of folks evaluated the trade with that in mind, instead of ignoring those realities completely.
It's easy to say a team should re-build if you choose to completely ignore the role that ownership plays in allowing for that.
