Why does rebuilding have anything to do with the money. It has to do with young players. If you bring in young talent you are rebuilding.
Exactly.
Let me propose this definition of rebuilding: Rebuilding is making changes that help your team win not only now but also in the future.
With that definition, bringing in Marbury, TT, Jamal, and Ariza and getting Sweetney off the IR all are huge steps toward rebuilding.
Rebuilding is NOT blindly clearing cap space or piling draft picks. Although you CAN rebuild that way, you don't have to.
