W/ Lakers going to deal players, should Jazz make a move on any of them?

Okur and the 12th pick for Bynum. Get it done Kevin. Seriously though Bynums knees our so scary for the amount of money he is making.

Gasol may be soft, but he's a stud. To me, calling him soft sounds like one of those things people say enough that it becomes conventional wisdom. I'm highly skeptical. Before he arrived in LA, Kobe and the Lakers didn't get past the second round. A few years later, they have 3 finals appearances and 2 titles. He was the difference maker. Who in their right mind wouldn't want Gasol?

I wouldn't want Gasol on our team as it is now. Sure he can score on anyone in the low-post, but don't we have that in Jefferson already? I'm not saying Jefferson=Gasol, I'm saying there are much bigger needs for this team than a all-star caliber PF/C when you can argue that we already have one and potentially two. Call me out on this if you want but I actually think Jefferson is a better defender than Gasol from just my perspective. I haven't gone into stats or anything to really find out. But my biggest reason is Jefferson is 25 and Gasol is 30. Al fits into our future plans better in my opinion, and obviously we would have to give up more than Jefferson in a Gasol swap.
 
Bynum, Odom, Fisher, Kobe, and Artest are all dirty aholes who would never get away with their thuggery and cheating if they tried that playing for Utah.
From what I've seen, Gasol might make a good addition, but I wouldn't support a team with any of those other guys.

If im trading away my best player in Howard and sending him to the Lakers. IM gonig to send them the videos of the playoffs with his numbers compared next to Gasol. Then start off saying Gasol, Odom, Artest,Character for Gilbert, Howard. I think the Lakers just might be craziest enough to do it. Gilbert, Kobe, Barns, Howard, Bynum is still a crazy good team.

But on the other hand, I think that if im Orlando I might be listening to offers from the Clippers, Twlves, New Jersey, Thunder and Washington.

Clippers offer up Gordon, there minny pick, Kamen and Aminu for Howard

Twolves offer up Kevin Love, Darko, W. Johnson, rights to Rubio, and a lotto pick

NJ. offers up Lotto picks, Lopez, a freshly signed Kris Humphries, Morrows

Id call the Thunder up and ask for Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins for Howard, Nelson

Washington offers up Jordan Crawford, Mcgee, Lotto picks, and Blatche

I thnk they can get a decent amount of talent from Howard.

It's Anthony Morrow! Not Morrows. No "s" at the end. So many people can't get that right

Would the Lakers be interested in Jefferson, Miles, and the GS pick for Gasol? Would you be?

No! I'm sick of AK's ayyyyiiii yell and wouldn't be able to stand Gasol yelling every time he shoots the ball or gets touched.

Gasol could be really good in the Jazz offense but just looked at his contract. Yuck, around 19 mil per year for the next three years. Add to the fact he is already 31 and his D and overall play is very suspect at times.

Giving up GS pick too, not a chance I would do it
 
The Jazz were interested in Shannon Brown this past offseason, I would take him.
 
Bynum and Favors would be a monstrous frontcourt. Most analysts agree Bynum could easily score 18 points a game as a primary option instead of being the third or fourth. Yes his knee problems are there but he never had a major injury like Jefferson had (ACL). What would it take to get it done? Probably both picks and Okur.
 
If the Lakers make a major deal with the Jazz, the Jazz will not come out on the better end of it. History proves that when the Lakers look to rebuild - they win the trade.

Also LA is not just going to move Pau because they think he's soft or Bynum because he doesn't fit in. They're going to hold out for someone who can play a prominant role on a championship-caliber team - and last I checked Jefferson and Miles don't fit the bill.
The only realistic option I've seen mentioned is Shannon Brown - and like someone mentioned - If Utah was that interested in him they would've shown him more interest last summer instead of giving 3 years and $10 million to Raja Bell.

I'd take Gasol over Jefferson straight up no question. His age is an issue but Jefferson will never be as good as Gasol in my opinion. I'm assuming away contract size. Again Lakers were going nowhere until Gasol got there. I don't buy that he's soft. He's been a key cog in two championships and one other finals run. If that's soft I'll take it any day.
