A guy in a power position like Treliving isn't likely to get poached. The other big problem with this rule was that it could effectively block a highly rated assistant GM or assistant coach from opportunities to advance their careers because other teams could hesitate to pay that price.
Most teams have policies that say they will not grant permission for other teams to talk to managers under contract if it would only represent a lateral move. That was fine. This compensation rule was a solution in search of a problem.
