The numbers have been crunched, and the scenarios have been considered. And he came to the conclusion that this move improved his team. I agree.
I think, somewhat ironically perhaps, that, as a trade of bad contract for bad contract, this trade will actually help both teams.
He sold low on Neal (likely out of necessity), but he also bought low on Lucic. Should add even more spice to the BOA!

So true, IMO, and why I don't go along with the posters who believe this was a desperation move by Treliving. I don't think he does anything in desperation. Evaluating all of his options (which he knows more about than any poster here) he'll make the best move that is open to him. While posters can disagree with whether it was a good move or not, I find it difficult to go along with them when they say there were better options out there and that he made the decision out of desperation.
