A team has to be kids or veterans and he chose to be veterans.

Up until that point, it definitely wasn't his MO. Once he made those two trades, he changed the direction of the franchise, and they were officially in win now mode. Before that, he was all about setting up for the future. There's a reason everyone was shocked by those moves, they went against everything he had done up until that point.
