I look at this and see the same thing - a huge and really inexcusable miss to not get a long term deal done at the time. If Tre didn't want to pay him for a long term commitment at the time, he's certainly going to do it now or watch him walk very soon.
Instead of screwing up on pricey UFA signings for the umpteenth time or hanging onto short term stop gaps, he should have worried more about his own backyard first.
