He could have taken action before the NMC kicked in. He could have traded him as a rental. He could have traded his rights. He could have evaluated JG as a really skilled player but not one to build around, even several years ago.
I can certainly see the perspective that it’s not Tre’s fault, and once the NMC kicked in maybe that’s true. But great leaders in any walk of life don’t settle for ‘not my fault’. They make things happen and importantly have the foresight and cold-bloodedness to avoid being put in these situations.
What was his plan with JG….’we hoped he would sign’. What’s his plan with MT…’we hope he’ll sign’. What’s his plan C…no idea. I think Tre is an ok GM but is pretty far from a great one and doesn’t deserve a lot of slack.
