GioforPM good post. You are right about even Lou Lamariello having made mistakes, but the thing with Lou is he acted and fixed his mistakes. Lou never sat on a bad or wrong coaching hiring, he acted quickly.

I do think Treliving has done a good job overall, I like his drafting, I like his trades (though I think he needs to be more active during the season when a change is needed), he's made some mistakes in free agency, but so has pretty much every other GM.

But his biggest issue is the coaching hires and this is probably the most important thing he needs to get right. A great coach can make a good team out of a poor roster. A bad coach can make a bad team out of a good roster.

I think Treliving has assembled a good roster here, but his team is performing poorly and to me, it's because he hired a bad coach. The reason why I'm ok with firing Treliving is because this isn't the only bad coach he's hired.
