Much like giving a UFA a NTC, it's a heavily negotiated point.

You can "stick to you guns", but the likely result is that you will likely be outbid by someone who doesn't.
So let someone else overpay for an average dman (second pairing dmen are average since there are, you know, three pairings) and spend your assets on someone, who can actually make your team better.

Your bar for GM is quite low. He is paid millions to correctly evaluate where the team is, identify players that can improve our team and negotiate smart deals for them. Treliving failed on all three fronts in this one deal. He misread the team, had to overpay to make up for his lack of negotiating skills and in the end we are not any better with Harmonic, than we were without him. A triple fail by Tre here.
