Owners can do whatever they want. Treliving may have gained their trust and got some autonomy to complete trades and sign players, but that still has some strings. It is simply to avoid the Bishop scenario and fixing that is a far different than full control. No GM gets full control. Unless they own the team.
In the end owners get what they want. And Tre would be a fool to disagree with them. He is probably the happiest guy in all this, he still has a job and got another chance with a proven winner.
