Some felt the mistake was made when they signed Tanev and hoped Seattle would take him. Now he's the very reason why Gio is being exposed.
Perhaps we aren't as good at identifying the mistakes as we think.
I agree in a perfect and completely pragmatic world they would have traded Gio at the deadline. I wish this organization functioned with that type of brutal honesty towards asset management. It rarely, if ever, has.

It is great that Gio outperformed that deal.
I get what you are saying, and Tre knew the expansion draft was coming and knew he was going to be in the position to select 3 of 4 D to protect.
And I get why he didn’t concede defeat. He had just brought in Darryl and was hoping he could right the ship.
I don’t really see the need to fault him much for this. As much as I called it a mistake, I’m happy to back it off and say the decision was made then, and the consequences are being seen now
