According to a one-line note from NBA columnist Mitch Lawrence in Sunday's New York Daily News, "Looking for a big man who can rebound and guard — something its own (starting center) Mehmet Okur is not always inclined to do — the Utah Jazz has targeted the Indiana Pacers' Jeff Foster for a potential deal."
The Jazz indeed have had interest in Foster for some time, but there is no current reason whatsoever to believe a deal to pry the 6-foot-11 center from the Pacers could be put together this month.
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan was asked about potential deals involving Utah — though not specifically anything about Foster — just last Friday. He suggested then that nothing is in the works and that he didn't anticipate any major deals being made by the club in February.

This doesn't surprise me. Most players with heavy European backgrounds like Okur and Gasol tend to be softer than players with American backgrounds. Of course we can all name a number of prominent exceptions.
Maybe that is why Sir Charles said "you can't win when your toughest player is a kicker"; i.e., European trained.
