It's too early to evaluate how this season will go. But it is pretty clear that the whole franchise is in Win Now mode, what with the dealing away of multiple 1st and 2nd round picks. You don't make those kinds of trades unless you feel a team is ready to contend. If it turns out you're just a middling team, though, you've just bought yourself a lot of long-term pain in a failed gamble.
