One, I'm pretty sure Treliving's going to exercise a little more patience. He's going to want to see if Neal can turn it up for us in the playoffs first, regardless of how poorly he's doing this season. If he's a dud there as well, then I see Treliving maybe exploring trading him. And that's still a maybe IMO.

And two, who in the league would want him? I'm not willing to give up assets for someone to take him off our hands.

So for better or worse, I'm pretty confident we're stuck with him for now.
It also sends a bad message to other free agents. "Sign long term here and we'll ship you out if you're not performing three months into your first year".
