If you want to add a similar long-term core piece (by paying a huge price), go for it. Don't pay for a rental.

I agree. The only rental that Treliving should be going for is a player who he wants to have a chance at locking up long term before the player hits free agency. A player for whom he also isn't mortgaging the future to acquire.
Really, based on everything he's said, Treliving is only adding cheap depth players, and maybe those depth players are young and still have term.
