It's not a coincidence.

I don't think there's a question that Brodie helps Gio. I think it's highly debatable that Gio needs him to be elite. I also think Brodie clearly struggles when away from Gio for any extended period of time, whereas Gio at best drops from elite to really really good away from Brodie. Gio-Hamilton was pretty darned good.
The fact remains that Brodie's contract is up, and Gio's isn't. So I'm kind of unclear on the debate. It's really Hamonic, Brodie, keeping neither or trying to work out something at the expense of one of the kids. I suspect that Brodie gets you a better return, plus his skill set seems to be replicated more by the kids than Hamonic's (ignoring R/L stuff).
