Personally I believe most smart GM’s use gamesmanship and spin to their advantage. Trelivings comments post trade were meant to diminish the perceived value of the asset he had included in the trade and make the deal look better. No big deal. Pretty much the reverse of the Drew Shore comments at the deadline after he was acquired. But you can see why it doesn’t don’t sit well with the player.
I highly doubt the signing risk issue was pulled out of thin air but people place entirely too much weight on that IMO, as if trading Fox was like giving up nothing.
