I don't think this is necessarily true. I think it's possible neither Darryl or Tre WANTED to trade Bennett. It was a tough position to be in to roll the dice again on him next season, or try and get something valuable for him while they could. We could all project that Sam could do well with Sutter, but it was a big risk to lose out on his return.

The source is apparent statements by players and actual statements by Treliving. Something like “we approached him but the timing wasn’t right for him”.
