If someone asked Tre a question on Bennett’s future or any player for that matter and he answered, “it just is what it is”, he should be fired on the spot.

Everyone has these elaborate opinions on how great it would be if Bennett reached his upside, but when discussing topics that aren't so rosey, we are regulated to "it just is what it is" and "you deal with it"
Yes. Management is about dealing with situations going forward. Risk management is what I do for a living. And when assessing what has already transpired, it is what it is. In management, you focus on what you can do going forward.

And the mistake you made in your post, is that you referred to Bennett's future with your rhetorical question to Treliving. I wasn't dismissing his future, I was dismissing his past. I hope that you can see the difference.
