I also think players don't want to be That Guy. The guy who gets constantly called an anchor and a terrible contract in the media and the fans keep saying "he's terrible", when in fact he's not terrible but just has a contract he can't live up to.
As for calling Treliving "an elite GM", I agree that things are looking good right now, but let's see his team get somewhere in the playoffs for at least 3 times before we start using words like that. So far things only look good on paper. Actual continued success is everything.
