On the other hand, there does reach a point where an NBA team should rebuild. 

After all, fielding a similar roster every year, only to be disappointed with your results is a fool’s errand. If your team isn’t living up to expectations on a consistent basis, your expectations are too high. 

These days, that decision may have to come more quickly than it used to. This is the era of player empowerment. Players request trades much more freely than before. Just look at how the Utah Jazz traded Donovan Mitchell while he was on his rookie extension.
