I look at the big picture. Team needs help at F. GM recognizes it, goes after players that can help but ultimately fails to complete any deals because the market is too expensive. The market is the market. Treliving can't change it. He can continue to stay out of it, but that doesn't improve the team now, does it? It's his job to improve the team.
Incompetence? Ya, hard to argue against it.

I don’t listen to “the guy” at all. The reasons for his moves are pretty obvious. And I criticize him plenty - the Neal signing, the Stone contract, etc. And I’ve said a bunch of times that this is a results league and he is missing results so he can go.
You are just making up things to justify a weird dislike for him based on some sort of “incompetence” rationale, when he’s made pretty standard moves. Incompetence is when you don’t know the rules of the CBA, or when you draft a guy so out of position the league laughs at you, not when you fail to overpay for a failed trade you can’t even identify.
If Treliving is always unwilling to pay a price for a player, explain Hamonic, Hamilton, Markstrom, Tanev. Explain the trades people cite as reasons to fire him.
