crazy idea: acquiring Pau Gasol

[Jefff]

Pau's older than Al and has a mammoth contract, but it's a better overall player. If we have a chance to land a 7footer all star with some rings, AND do that without loosing core players.... just do it. Plus his mammoth contract can be absorbed by Utah, because we don't have to overspend on bigs in the next 2 years. Pau's market value is low because not so many teams can trade for him: from now to just before the all star game we'll have a unique occasion to land such a top player; that is RARE for a franchise like the jazz, and could attract quality FA (ex. Would steve nash play two years along gasol-favors-Hayward burks? maybe. Would nash play 1 year along Harris hayward Millsap Favors Jefferson? no way)

no to Pau.
don't want laker cast offs.
Build around our young bigs, add some shooters and see what happens
