Gooden pretty much sucks total ass as a defensive player. I don't know why anyone wants the Spurs to sign him...he's not going to get any minutes under Pop.
The reason both the Cavs and the Bull traded him is because he won't play D.
Yes it sure looks like we'll get Gooden..maybe Smith...
Who do we waive? cuz we have 15 players?
Obviously the worst players on are team are Udoka and Vaughn
But most likely we'll do the stupidest thing ever and dump Pops Mensa-Badassa
We ain't getting rid of the 3rd pg so i guess Udoka makes the most

I don't want Gooden. I don't want him at all. He's ing horrible.
hey i aint singing the dude's praises but if sounds like we are doing it then thats why i posed the question
why i add the ugliest dude on the nba's "ugliest team"
Yeah Gooden is such a downgrade compared to what we already have with our very deep and versatile frontline.* rolls eyes*
If he's so horrible why are Pop and R.C after him. I guess they just want to add such a horrible player.

HIS D is
His rebounding and scoring punch more than makes up for his D.
This guy in silver and black? Hmmm...sure..why not..as long as he gets those boards, plays some D and gets double figures in points..sign him up. He'd definitely be a good addition to what we've got.
Waive Pops or Udoka.
That's all we need is another poor defender on this club.
If Pop gives up Pops instead of Ime Udoka then I'm here to say Pop has lost it and it is time to turn the reins over to a young mind like say, Bill Russel.
Could be they are both drunk about now. A game like tonight's fiasco will do that to anyone.
He would be a upgrade over Bonner and Oberto thats for sure.
I guess Oberto and Bonner are just flat out studs on the defensive end.
Having them creating havoc defensively warrants a pass on Gooden. * rolls eyes again*
Gooden is a superior rebounder and he is a big who isn't a total liability on the offensive end. Not to mention with Tim showing him the ropes come April and May, I'm pretty sure Gooden would put forth the effort defensively.
He'd instantly be the worst defensive big in our rotation. Guy simply doesn't play D.
pop will make him play D
I think your giving WAY too much credit to Oberto and Bonner both. I'll give Kurt props for the trickery in his trade and getting away with bowen-like manuevers on the defensive end. But I think your overreacting when referring to how he would INSTANTLY be the worst defensive big. He'd be our 2nd best rebounder thats for sure.
Compard to Gooden they are...compared to Gooden, Steven Nash is a defensive stud. At least Nash will flop. Gooden won't even do that.
Um...we have an offensive big named Tim Duncan...he is so good he once forced a former soon to be Hall of Fame scoring champion to give up his offensive game and become a defensive anchor...Having them creating havoc defensively warrants a pass on Gooden. * rolls eyes again*

There's only one ball...
And I'm pretty sure he didn't even when it cost him his starting job in Cleveland...and Chicago.Not to mention with Tim showing him the ropes come April andMaym, I'm pretty sure Gooden would put forth the effort defensively.
He's being traded for guys on the downside of their careers like Ben Wallace and Brad Miller...figure it out.
I guess your right for justifying your opinion on not signing gooden when Pop and R.C are obviously after him. I guess Oberto and Bonner are just studs defensively for them turning to drew gooden.
They at least try to play within the system...Gooden will sit there and watch guys score.
He's complete .
Gooden was a throw in to get rid of Larry hughes. Just like Scola was for Jackie Butler. There's a reason why Cleveland wants him back. you figure it out.
Or maybe our best rebounder its a no brainer to sign Gooden he can score inside and is a tough physical player and he would take pressure off of Tim and Pop would help him with his defense.
The Spurs would likely waive Kareem Robinson Olajuwon Chamberlain Mensah Bonsai-Jordan.
Pop and RC go after a lot of guys...that doesn't mean they play them.
Whottt from 2004 from the thread, "is Steve Nash the worst defensive player in the league" :I guess Oberto and Bonner are just studs defensively for them turning to drew gooden.
