There are pretty big gaps from where he traded picks away for nothing. The funny thing is there is a recent interview on the Athletic where Treliving says he doesn't like to give away picks for rentals (though will do it) and yet the track record says otherwise. He seems almost too comfortable with it.

"But, I’m not a big fan of giving up second-round picks and first-round picks for somebody that could be with you for a short period of time. For me, if you’re giving up those assets I’d always like to have more team control over the players for a longer period of time. If you’re giving up that type of asset, I just haven’t been a fan of those players walking out the door on you.

But there’s certainly times you have to do that, and it’s all about the state your team is in."
