Kings waive Gooden; Spurs next?

[iggypop123]

Is he really and truly an efficient inside scorer? I always thought he was a bit of a poor man's Carlos Boozer. Don't know if that's and apt comparison.

you mean a poor mans boozer who only shoots jumpshots then yes

[Marcus Bryant]

Gooden's offense is primarily garbage type points and the occasional J.

[Pablo Escobar]

so when should we hear anything

Looks like the Mavs are in the running also.... Mehhh

[024]

he can grab rebounds. he's also not a bazillion years old. can be serviceable down the stretch.

[Russ]

10 min left to sign him for playoff elegibility. i dont know why he wouldnt want to play for us but whatever

I don't think so -- he just has to released by tonight to be eligible (I think).

Anyway, let's get him Spurs!

[poop]

pop has invested too much on udoka to not allow ime to prove himself. it's either hairston or bonsu.

ive been here for one day and i can se you are a fool of the highest order.

In terms of youth, Gooden. Plus if there's one thing he knows how to do, it's hit the glass.

In terms of experience, Smith. I'd feel a little more comfortable with him joining the rotation this late in the season.

Neither one overwhelms you at this point, except for the fact that the alternative is some Spurs fans' latest wet dream.

good point. anyhow, spurs don't need someone who can bowl them over. just someone who can provide decent help on the defensive end and hit the occasional shot.

If he's not a bazillion years old then he's not experienced enough to play for the Spurs.

True.

But he rebounds. And we could use some of those garbage points. He could be serviceable.

[ploto]

Spurs have part of MLE but how far are they from the luxury tax? I don't feel like looking it up.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are only at 68 million.

[Sausage]

If it meant giving up Pops, then I'd pass on Drew Gooden.

[objective]

Gooden always struck me as a very low-IQ basketball player, I doubt he'd pick up the defense any better than Pops Mensah Bonsu at this point.

[024]

gooden is a NBA starter. mensah bonsu just got out of the d league after being cut by the freakin mavs. joining a contender might give gooden a boost after being stuck on mediocre teams.

day one is today?

Amen! Pops is a keeper!

[m33p0]

vaughn.

That's true...

[Spursfan092120]

If it meant giving up Pops, then I'd pass on Drew Gooden.

I don't think Pop would let go of Pops. He already said Pops was the only light in the Cleveland game. And tonight he called him over to calm him down to keep him from fouling out. I think Pop likes him.

[SouthTexasRancher]

r u insane???

Not hardly! Are you?

[Russ]

Assuming they come to terms with him, which roster spot will the Spurs open up for Gooden? Who will they let go?

Pops or Vaughn? (Vaughn could be retained as a coach and slipped back in if Pops doesn't cut it.)

[completely deck]

hmmm.. I don't know how to feel about this. But then again I didn't know what to think about Hill.

[Thompson]

Any particular reason the Spurs are more likely to get him? I would think he might like to return to Cleveland, unless there was some sort of locker room conflict there.

[stxspurs]

i rather bounce vaughn or udoka.....pops has too much upside. all we need is some other team to snatch him up....then start giving us offensive in the future
