Sure and people have done it in shorter time too.
IMO the standard for the GM should be more than not "actively impeding the team's direction".
I find it hard to evaluate a GM because we don't really hear their true vision or strategic direction and we really have no idea what their go forward plan is. From the outside in, appears Treliving has gone all in on this team's core to this point. Thus far, it worked for a 60 game stretch in the last regular season.
