It seems like Treliving was banking on a ton of progression, and that hasn't happened.
To be fair, the contract was signed before the flat cap was implemented. But this is looking like it will be by far the worst of his major RFA signings. He might be worth the $9 million cap hit for a good chunk of his next contract. But his trade value will be far lower.

This is a bit of the silver lining to bridge deals, the risk goes both ways for both sides. Would we be better off 2 yrs into a 6x9M deal? (Dubas really rekt the market)
The QO aspect is tough, but even if we end up in that scenario, he will remain a valuable trade asset who will be eligible for an extension
