Thinking about this though, I’m not sure I understand Treliving’s plan, or how he projects things - both now, and how he started his time here.
I look back at the Hamonic trade. That was a huge asset expenditure to acquire a player on a good value contract for three years...but I then have to wonder, what the hell was the point of making that trade if we weren’t going to continue to be aggressive and try and compete in that three year window? Why speed up the rebuild only to get conservative after you’ve already bled years of assets, both in big deals (Hamonic) and smaller useless deals (Elliott, Lazar). Hamonic is likely going to move on after this year, making that cost we sunk into acquiring him for three useless seasons...kind of just meaningless and an utter waste. I just really don’t understand the impatience early in the rebuild, and this conservative approach at this stage of it.

I agree, but I am holding out hope that tre will make a serious move to bolster the team still. Maybe theres a player out there who's a better fit that we haven't even considered that tre can pry away.
