I admit that does seem like a win now move. But maybe they think Korver has more value going forward that AB + 2 seconds. Alternatively, maybe they were keeping the roster ready incase another star player became available during the trade deadline. Whatever the reasoning, I still think if they are trying to win a championship, they should not be in contending mode. I mean, does anyone really think they can contend this year with Gobert and Mitchell as the best players?Nah, the Jazz are absolutely in win now mode. They still believe in this roster and believe that once the schedule eases up we can start climbing in the standings. Why do you think we traded AB and two 2nd round picks for a guy that's going to turn 38 in two months?
Of course the reality is they running a business, so they are not trying to win a championship, but trying to maximize profits over the next several year (i.e., field a team that will win enough to sell out the jacked up season tickets). How depressing.
