Unless you are saying that JG feels cheated and is looking to screw Tre. In that case i think you are nuts.

All I was saying is that signing a player for a deal that seems like Treliving got a stinking good deal sometimes costs you later.
Thy original poster suggested that Treliving played hard ball with Johnny.
That doesn't always sit well with a player later on. It's not irrelevant.
I just think Johnny will end his career playing in the US. He signed a contract because he needed financial security, but he left himself in a situation where he's a UFA at a relatively young age.
