I'm just not a conspiracy guy.
Treliving doesn't have a terrible human being background. Nothing to support he a) wouldn't be smart enough to drive the best bargain he could or b) was tanking a franchise on the way out
Both are silly.
He felt that the team was closer than it was, and felt moving an asset to free up cap space to add Kadri would make them a contender.
He was wrong.
But the rest is way over the top in my opinion.
