You are going to have to explain your thinking on this for me. The way I see it, if Treliving did indeed approach ownership about approving a buyout I could imagine their hesitation about the immediate cost, and returning to him with instructions to find a more cost-effective deal, which he did. This strikes me as nothing more than a day-to-day business exchange; I don't see it at all as "ownership is telling the GM how to manage the cap."
