They're not trading Pau straight up for Boozer, but they may be interested if Chicago attaches picks or rookie contracts.
Chicago requires a S&T that include Boozer. Lakers aren't going to take Boozer's contract... I don't know which team is willing to participate in a 3 way trade to get Boozer.

Washed up player + picks + rookie

If you are going to do a sign and trade, Chicago needs a lot more contracts than just rookie contracts to make this happen. The Chicago option for Pau does not seem likely. Boozer's contact is $16.8m! Chicago isn't going to be able to unload this.
Pau doesn't have good options if he wants to be relevant. He's signing with the Spurs... you can book that prediction! Nobody is going to commit big money on a 34 year old player.
Boozer is getting amnestied.
Ken Berger: Knicks not fully eliminated from Pau Gasol chase, source says. But they're far behind Bulls, OKC and Lakers. Spurs on periphery. Twitter
Consider it booked!
This pre-season may be one where the Spurs instantly are guaranteed a championship.
Melo goes to Knicks.
Lebron goes to the Cavs
Bosh goes to the Rockets
Parsons goes to the Mavs
The Heat go to rebuilding mode.
A championship is never booked.
Nothing is ever guaranteed.
So essentially, nobody has any idea what anyone is doing.
They're not going to win this year no matter what they. I'd actually be more concerned about the Lakers if they stopped trying to hit for the fences and used their cap space to gather assets while preserving cap flexibility for 2015 and 2016.

Spurs persistence on Pau Gasol keeping them a serious contender, inching closer to the Bulls, league sources tell Yahoo.
If Pau doesn't go to a western conference, the west is still going to be a tough conference to get through come playoff time. The OKC Thunder are still the toughest match up for the spurs followed by the clips and mavs. Then there are the warriors, griz, Portland.
This recent NBA finals run is over its going to be a new season with question marks with depth with mills out for a large chunk of the season, manu depending on his recovery time, and without free agents all signed the league particularly in the west could be a lot more complicated come June.
Despite all that, a healthy spurs team in June, I like their chances in making another finals trip. But it isn't set in stone like a bunch of fans think.
Parker getting in on the recruiting action:

Spurs fan is still on a major high, so I don't blame them for feeling good about next season.
But damn, I can't believe how fast y'all are willing to move on from what happened not even a month ago today. We won the goddamn CHAMPIONSHIP, you know - the thing you've been 'craving' since 2007 - and most of you are debating about what SA should do next season? I'm going to be Mr.Obvious here, but you can't get any higher than a NBA championship. Think about that. Spurs were the best team in the league last season, who knows when we'll be able to say that again? Considering injury chances, regression via age, free-agency losses, etc.
Seriously, we ed about 6 about 10x longer than we have celebrated 5
Anyone can help with the translation?
ugly google translation.... but good enough"I like to play with Pau and I've already said. Everyone wants to play with it, is one of the best." The Tony Parker, the Spurs star said after the draw for the Euroleague.
The French Spurs guard hopes the Spanish power forward runs by decanting offer reigning NBA to recruit.
"If we do not choose to nostros, remain friends and go to dinner with a good wine as we do," said the French base, reiterated he will not participate in the World Spain to rest.
Yes, Parker would not go beyond the content of his talk with Pau. Friendly and close with the Press, French Base became one of his fantastic dribbling with a smile: "I can not say more than we speak."
The Spurs still insist on their interest and Pau Gasol as Yahoo! points this makes the Texas franchise continues with options to sign him but according to league sources, the ÑBA is getting closer to Chicago.
The Knicks, who hope the "yes" of Carmelo Anthony also hope that Pau will side with the supply of the Big Apple and the Thunder did not withdraw from the struggle for power forwar
This post-season is quite critical. We could see the dismantling of the Heat. That would mean LeBron may not be a threat in the next couple of years.
IF the Spurs land Pau, it virtually ensures another championship for the Spurs (barring any injuries).
The le, at least, roughly translates as "I would like to play with Pau and I have said it before, everyone would like to play with him."
Well could you enlighten us as to when it is appropriate to think about next year. Do you have the championship celebratory rule book or guidelines that you could paste for us uneducated champions?
When it comes down to it most players seem to choose the money over rings. You can only hope he's a ring person at this stage of his career.
I kind of admire the Spurs persistence. The only other thing they could offer is grand marshal of the Paella Challenge at the Pearl every year.
