This is purely situational, and I'll admit, based on production, appears pretty lopsided.
In the event that Tre kept Neal this year, and his production (or lack of) were the same, Tre would still be recieving criticism for the initial signing. Treliving addressed a need in adding toughness. He shaved off salary, AND he looked after the team's future by getting a 3rd round draft pick in return. Based on early season returns, the trade has definitely worked in Edmonton's favour. That being said, I don't condemn Treliving for making the move at the time.
