Trading Gio wasn't simple no one was going to trade us anything of significance for a player they would have left exposed who probably would have been taken unless they spent assets to have Seattle take someone else.
Team learned from previous mistakes.
Imagine Treliving trading a 1st and prospect for Gio only for him to be taken by Seattle or trade a 1st amd something else to Seattle to have them take someone else.
Any GM who pitched that idea would have probably been fired and rightfully so.
