Okay so Gooden, who do we waive then?

[coachmac87]

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.

Nice

[EricB]

Drew Gooden was a big reason why Oberto scored so well in the 2007 NBA Finals.

No thanks on this stiff.

[Marcus Bryant]

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.

Who are you people?

[L.I.T]

Bring on George Mikan. He'd solve all of our problems.

[EricB]

Screw it, dig up Wilt.

Yeah...that reason is called Ben Wallace breaking his ing femur and he played along LeBron for years. that was hard to figure out.

Yeah all 4.3 points on 47 percent shooting. Yeah Oberto had his way against gooden let me tell you. Not to mention Tim avg. his low and shot in the low 40's that series.

I'll give you a reason though. There's a reason why Gooden was a starter for a defensive minded coach ( Mike Brown). For a Cleveland team that beat a superior Detriot Team to go to the Finals. Anyone can say anyone sucks defensively. Proof is in the pudding on why the cavs are interested in bringing him back.

Wich is why they are signing the corpse of Joe Smith instead right?

No it means that Gooden isn't a horrible player. There's plenty of players they could sign for the minimum that are out there. There's a reason they want Gooden back.

Whottt from 2004 from the thread, "is Steve Nash the worst defensive player in the league" :

He's .

Classic digging

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'd be surprised if SA signed him he cares less about D than Amare does.

They are interested in both. It's been stated in multiple sites.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

If Gooden is so fantastic, then why go after Joe Smith?

[MaNu4Tres]

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Again thats your opinion that I disagree with.

Gooden would improve the Spurs thats my opinion.

Did you actually watch those games or are you just look at boxscores? The Spurs actually ran plays for Oberto against Gooden...and he scored on them. Oberto put a dream shake on Gooden...


And the reason Cleveland beat Detroit is because LeBron James scored like 278 points in a row in the 4th quarter.

[L.I.T]

1. Ben Wallace broken femur.
2. He knows their offensive schemes, which means little acclimation period.

They also traded him for the Player Formerly Known as Big Ben in an attempt to shore up their defense.

[timvp]

Hey whottt, you're not alone.

No to Gooden. Worst defensive bigman in the league.

http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=378551





P.S.

Nope. Gooden is a head case. Every team who gets him wants to trade him right away.

There's a reason for that.




P.S.

He's also the worst defensive big man in the league.

If Gooden is so fantastic, then why go after Joe Smith?

Joe Smith has a better overall skill set than any big we have on our roster outside of duncan. And again it's been said on multiple sites they are after both Smith and Gooden.

[Darkwaters]

The Spurs would likely waive Kareem Robinson Olajuwon Chamberlain Mensah Bonsai-Jordan.

That reminds me, I have a soldier named Hakeem Olajuwon working for me. The funny thing is the guys 5'5.

Oh, and I would sign Gooden and waive Ime all day long. If Gooden really sucks that much then you just bench him. Just because we sign him/trade for him late in the season doesn't mean he has to see the light of day (see Melvin Ely).

[EricB]

2 minutes left in the 4th quarter, Oberto springs wide open free under the bucket for two layups.

Who was guarding Oberto?

[timvp]

But yeah, despite Gooden's negatives, signing him basically for free isn't something the Spurs can pass on.

[MaNu4Tres]

I guess I'm just so inferior when it comes to common sense because I don't go to GTG or have a million posts. I watch a lot of games and with my common sense, the addition of drew gooden would improve the Spurs. That's just my opinion, which is just as good as yours. You don't have to agree with it. All i know is this. There's a reason why Pop and R.C are going after him.

[EricB]

Joe Smith has a better overall skill set than any big we have on our roster outside of duncan. And again it's been said on multiple sites they are after both Smith and Gooden.

Joe Smith > Kurt Thomas?
