Perhaps they regret trading Korver for what they did and when they did... I think your argument about the fire-sale is very true. I do not necessarily, though, think they regret trading Korver in a vacuum. It may have been better for them to move Millsap first for a real return and move Korver afterwards.I feel differently, just because of how quickly they pulled an about face and publicly declared Millsap wouldn't be traded so soon after the Korver thing. I think they realized they screwed up after their players and fans reaction to what happened. If they truly thought Millsap could nab them that, they would not have taken him off the block so far away from the deadline , because they understand like anyone else that the best offers don't come until basically the time of the year were in right now.
I think they were ready to blow it up and we're going to start that process with Korver but now it has backfired. If anything, they regret trading Korver so soon and they had to take Millsap at least publicly off the market because once teams saw the Korver trade they were thinking firesale and Millsaps value took a bit.
I think they're gonna max Millsap out in the summer and then could trade him as early as next deadline. In an attempt to preserve his value a bit , I'd imagine.
Nonetheless, good discussion! We agree completely on Griff. He's an awesome GM.
