Really? What should they do? This was a good deal for New Orleans. This fantasy that he makes the team worth more is idiotic. There is zero chance he is staying there regardless of who owns the team. So why not get what you can before you lose all leverage. It isnt like he is going to sign as a FA with a small market team.

The last trade that Pau Gasol was involved was a much bigger trade rape than this.
