There's just too many egos to be bruised here, when we are pretty close to being a championship team.
I really like the move for next year though, but like I said, given our current standings, they should worry about next year, next year.

If the egos are so fragile that adding a piece to help win - creates issues - then they aren't going to win anyways.
If anything I imagine a guy like Jose will be happy as he must see the clear holes in the roster still.
