Given the focus was so short-term and we missed the playoffs, I still see the Smith trade as another miss for Treliving. I like Hamonic. I like Smith. I don't mind Stone. But taken together, what we spent and the aftermath when we didn't make the playoffs, how can you not conclude Treliving misread things and had a bad summer last year?
The consensus was that Treliving did great last summer and George McPhee was a fool. What can you say? The consensus was wrong.

Such an easy conclusion to come to after the fact. The team had a really strong second half last season and the team is without a doubt improved this season. I'm not sure how he was suppose to predict we would regress.
