Gio has earned this contract. And it's a fair deal for both sides IMO -- a little lower on salary by Gio, and little more term given by the team. No doubt someone would have given him both if he hit the open market.
If Russell is willing to take 5 money I'm sure Treliving can find a spot for him; unfortunately, he's shown he can be a solid 3/4 on a deep blue line (2/3 with injuries) and will get offered that elsewhere.
