I would have traded him for sure. If he really wanted to stay he would have accepted the fat contract he was offered, it would have been a no-brainer, he clearly intended to go to FA all along, so in my mind you have to get something for him. It will be worse for them to let him walk for nothing than it would be to make the playoffs this year. Lets face it they were a long shot to make it in no matter how they played. Make the big trade and try and strengthen in the off season for next year.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
