I liked Gooden a lot. He wasn't the smartest guy out there, but he always brought 110%. It'd be great if we could keep him somehow, can't think of any reason why we wouldnt' want his energy coming off the bench...
Congrats on 1K posts, Big P!
Gooden was a reliable scorer, but maybe that's because he never passed the ball out to his teammates and took all the shots while he was in the game. Still, as a bench player maybe that was his role.
He was suspect perhaps on the defensive end--but it's not easy picking up the Spurs system.
I wish him well.
Now I know that Gooden isn't a "space the floor" type of player that Pops loves and we used Bonner as last year but although we are accumulating bigs, several are unproven.
A couple of posters mentioned a team with cap room signing him and trading him to us for Bonner, a sack of basketballs and the team washing machine but is this situation below possible?
Spurs trade Bonner to a team with cap space in return for a trade exception. Spurs then use it to offer a contract to Gooden starting at Bonner's salary of 3.25 million.
It adds Gooden at a decent price he might accept without crowding the frontcourt further. Is there anything in the league rule that prevent this from happening?
Didn't see an appreciation thread for Drew, but as some fans posted earlier, he called our fan base the best in the NBA.
I must admit I was hopeful we can retain him, not because his defense sucks or because of his questionable IQ, but because he was a professional. Did whatever he was asked and didn't complain about playing time. And as TIMVP mentioned, how can you ignore his production, especially per 48 mins.
But I just wanted to thank Drew for choosing us, and for staying positive.
On another note, which team do you NOT want to see Drew on? I personally hope he doesn't go to Dallas.
where is the appreciation thread for Austin Croshere??
what exactly are we thanking him for?
It's coming.Quote:

No to Dallas or LA.
You still want to thank him, if he goes to Dallas or L.A?
It seems like he'd be a good fit on the Knicks.

According to Marc Stein, the Pistons have Rasho ahead of Gooden now. i still don't understand why Gooden's considered so poorly:
"It's believed that the Pistons, as of Thursday, have Rasho Nesterovic and Chris Wilcox ahead of Drew Gooden as their next free-agent targets, since it appears that they can't assemble an offer sheet rich enough for Glen Davis to keep the Boston Celtics from matching."

That's insane. Well, I guess since Detroit's Center is Kwame Brown, they probably would look at a guy like Rasho. Gooden is more of a PF. That's still a bit weird, though.
Sign him with LLE and whatever money available left....promise him great chance for ring and everything that possible so he can stay...he definitely adds more firepower to the roster. We got RJ, Dice and Blair. Why dont add another one to secure number 5???
Gooden for the LLE :jack
