If I'm Tre I just make it one way. It's still buriable if you send him down. And if you end up sending him down he's probably played himself through waivers. Or if it's about keeping someone else up, that is just the risk you take.

I think at this point it's about Treliving retaining as much control over as many things as possible that the team can. It's an incredibly small thing, but this negotiation affects all of his future negotiations—maybe there is no plausible scenario in which Mangiapane is dispatched to Stockton, but there will almost assuredly be more young players that Treliving will need to re-sign in the future for whom this difference is more substantial.
