Are we in win now mode?

That's how I took it when we went after KD. We didn't get KD so we can keep holding on to our chips and try to stay relevant year after year.

As constructed, do we have enough to win the title? My opinion is no.

Not sure what our front office is going to do at the trade deadline.

To me, you don't waste KD's time as a Rocket and maximize your window of winning the title while he's here and by doing that, we finally have to let go of our assets and try to win our first championship since 95.

That was before FVV and Adams got hurt. His injury really busted all our plans. With Fred playing we had a realistic shot to win it all.
