The case for Kyle Lowry

The Rockets want Gasol but reluctant to give the Lakers Lowry, so we are not getting him.

Does Gasol really have THAT much more value that Millsap?

Sap is 27. 5 years younger. Owed 7.2M for next year. Putting up All-star nearing numbers(16/10 PER 23.60).

Gasol 32. Having another very good season(16/10 PER 21.05). Owed nearly 40M over the next 2 years. Gasol has Center size though.

Gasol also had a mammoth of a contract to take on.

For Lowry I would give up either big man (Sap or Jefferson) plus a future (2013) 1st that is top 3 protected (just in case we still suck ***).
 
Dj Augustin has similar numbers and could be had for a lot less.

Ppg 13
Apg 6.5 (on a crappy team)
Fg% 41
3pt % 34 (38 career)
Ft% 81

They would probably take Harris and al for Augustin and say maggette (salary match) and switch firsts next year.
 
Honestly, as of this point, Im down with signing Augustin. If Harris shows zero improvement, then we should pry him off of the hands of Charlotte. I seriously think that we could get Augustin for CJ and a 2nd rounder.
 
If the Jazz want Augustin, they can get him. Unfortunately, he's a restricted free agent this coming offseason, and his new deal could cut into the potentially large pool of free agent funds the Jazz might have in the 2013 offseason.
