Somewhat interesting for those that suggested Treliving was average and wouldn't be employed again.

They also get a guy who never truly built a contender (unless you count Florida).
Still amazes me how many people here mythologize Treliving's tenure while in reality the team didn't achieve all that much. He might have walked away, but he very well could have been fired by this point.
I'm pumped for the Conroy era. Onward and upward.
