Briefly

In a recent interview, GM Brad Treliving discussed the strategic complexities and discipline required during the trade deadline. He highlighted his process of preparing for potential player acquisitions and the importance of setting time frames and benchmarks. Treliving's comments suggest that being aware of market shifts and maintaining flexibility is key in navigating trade deals. His experience is evident as he describes the chaotic but thrilling nature of finalizing player trades, encapsulating the urgency felt as the deadline approaches, particularly with last-minute deals like that of Brandon Carlo.
The word I would use around the deadline is discipline. We are out in Denver, so the bell rang at 1 p.m. There are mile markers.
It is important to set mile markers and times. You could be fishing for option A, the bell goes, and you haven't been able to check down a little bit.
I looked at my watch and saw 58. We got under the wire by two minutes. It is not the closest I've been, but it is pretty darn close.
