I cannot remember ever seeing a trade where a team got by far the best player in the trade and saved over $40 million in the process. And it doesn’t appear that they would give up any draft picks, which might allow to later make a trade for Dwight Howard (They would also get a large trade exception that would help them improve their team and/or eventually trade for Howard.) When the Lakers got Pau Gasol (at the time considered an extremely lopsided trade) they took on tens of millions in additional salary and luxury tax and they gave up a number of prospects (one in Marc Gasol who may become a max-salary player).
To be honest, that part is entirely correct. Pelicans would have gotten nothing (I'm sure we would have flipped the pieces though) and somehow send the best player but not even get the 2nd best player (Gasol) in return.
That would be equivalent to LA sending Deng, Mozgov, and someone like Russell or Randle for George.
Or Cleveland sending Shump, Thompson, and JR Smith for George.

I think the deal to LAC was worse than the deal in place with LAL.
