That would be the best scenario possible and another Christmas present in June!!!
My fault, Marcus!
I read your post wrong!!

People here are really not considering that Gooden does have the NBA Finals experience and the playoff savvy that will help him here on the Spurs.
A big that can create his own shot and rebound very well besides Duncan for the minimum???
You cant beat that guys.
this is just going to be another 35+ page rasheed thread and gooden will sign with some other team
it really wouldnt surprise me.
Of interest is that Parker is only 8 months younger than Gooden. He would be the second youngest veteran player on the team at 27. Younger than Mason and younger than Bonner.
Does anyone here envision this potential Gooden acquisition as a possible fit beyond this season?
It all depends what happens from here til hopefully June.
The last time the Spurs brought aboard a 28 year-old, reserve, power forward (Ely), they walked off the court in June with their 4th championship. Even though Ely was a non-factor.
I'll say this, if this Gooden acquisition does occur, I'll like our chances, versus the Fakers in a 7-game series, a uva a lot more than I do now.
Probably not. He is going to want a new deal this summer and will likely be asking for too much money...that is, if he is expecting a raise.
I would rather dangle the MLE in front of Rasheed Wallace.

yea man.
lets not forget that Gooden is quick on his feet and is 6'10''....guess who the Lakers have thats quick on his feet and is also 6'10''
Odom.
Lets see what he can do.
lol I'm pretty sure Gooden will be more of a factor than Ely.The last time the Spurs brought aboard a 28 year-old, reserve, power forward (Ely), they walked off the court in June with their 4th championship. Even though Ely was a non-factor.

if we get gooden i hope we still keep POPS.
meh, I'm not worried about Odom at all..
as for Gooden, the only way he'll be back with the team is if we make it to the finals..if he helps us get that far, I'll be happy to have him back for the right price..let's not get ahead of ourselves though, he might not even be a Spur this season..
there's no doubt that he would help us though, especially for the price..
interesting stat..
in 32 games played this season where he has played 944 minutes, Drew Gooden has been to the FT line 99 times..in 57 games/55 games/37 games where they've played 1361/930/576 minutes respectively, Bonner, Thomas, and Oberto have combined for 70 FT attempts..

F*ck yeah! x 10.
You're right. However, at this point, it would take some extraordinary cir stance for this acquisition to go "belly up". But you're right. I'm just glad the Spurs are in line to get some badly-needed frontline help.
Gooden will be a piece for the stretch run, and that'll be it. There's a reason he is 27, in his 7th season, yet on his 7th team when he signs here or somewhere. He's been traded 4 times already, 3 times in the middle of the season. He'll score some and rebound some, and that's it. He doesn't block shots, or play even passable defense. He won't just blow his own assignments, he won't rotate to cover his teammates. He will seriously give Fin a run for the le of worst defender on the squad. I can't imagine Pop standing him for more than the balance of the season.
That being said, he'll be the best "other" big man scorer and rebounder since David hung up his kicks. His man's going to get 30 every night, though.
I answered your question about what I think the best option is...I just didn't quote you when I did it.
To be fair, Gooden >>>> ElyThe last time the Spurs brought aboard a 28 year-old, reserve, power forward (Ely), they walked off the court in June with their 4th championship. Even though Ely was a non-factor.

I don't think Ely's a good comparison...Nazr Mohammed without the high basketball IQ and great defense would be a better one.
Ely doesn't do anything paticularly well...offense, defense, or rebounding.
Mark my words...the guy ing the loudest and saying Gooden sucks when he starts blowing defensive assignments will be one..
tim
v
p
And he is not as good of an offensive player as Bonner is...not this season, not on this team.
I don't understand how people are bashing Gooden just because of the fact that hes played on 5 NBA teams.
Many good players in the NBA have played on multiple teams. IE Roger Mason
Shaq has played with 4 teams
As you saw, I bashed Gooden long before I ever had any inkling he'd a be a Spur. At some point people eople get smart and figure out there's more to the game that just stats...and that's all Gooden is is stats.
Any team that needs him to contribute significantly to win a le...is not going to win a le.
No. Pop would be incarcerated for killing him for bad defense.
