The time to trade Marner was a year before. None of this makes Treliving a good GM; just means in this particular situation his options were limited If he was able to trade Marner, he probably would have lost that trade imo, but that's another criticism.

All I remember the talk about Marner being before the NMC kicked in that Treliving had only been on the job for a short time (I think a year) and had to "evaluate" the situation.
I still don't understand how it makes sense that a guy who isn't willing to re-sign (Marner was offered 13M x 8 and declined) is allowed to gain a full NMC status and only then the #### hits the fan and they try to trade him. It just doesn't make sense from any perspective and is total incompetence of the management at all levels either way.
