"DrewGooden Good Luck next season to all my SA fans! You guys have the best fans in the NBA! Gonna miss you. Peace!"
At least it looks like he appreciated his time in SA, and the chance to play for the Spurs.
I think he's trying to work his way back.
Sign him using the LLE left.
Can't really hate on Gooden. He produced his azz off while with the Spurs. His per-minute numbers were ridiculous. The attributes that didn't make him a good long-term fit in San Antonio -- namely a lack of basketball IQ -- were mostly things out of his control at this point of his NBA career.
Good luck, Goody![]()
Wish him well. It's a shame it didn't work out for us but he'll find a team he can help.
If it can be twitted, is it love?
It would have been nice to keep Gooden, but there's just no way you can say no to Dice when he's the exact player this team needed. If Dice had said no, Drew would have been my next choice though after Sheed and Zaza were off the market.
Thank you Gooden for at least giving us fans hope last year. You definitely did better in 2 months with the Spurs than Bonner did all last year. I wish you could stay but it doesnt seem possible at this point. Good luck to you wherever you may go. Just don't go to the Lakers, Celtics, Suns, Mavs, or Cavs.
Aside from all the bashing that most people give him on here, I am truly gonna miss Gooden. I thought he was a pretty solid pickup last season, and he provided what we all thought he would provide: offense and rebounding. We never expected him to be a great defender, and his bball IQ might not be that great, but he's a very solid player, and he's going to be able to land somewhere they can really use him.
I would be completely down to sign him for the LLE, if we weren't loaded in the frontcourt now. His offense alone off the bench could have been good for the Spurs. Wherever he ends up, I wish him well.
to ya Drew...!
Call R.C. tomorrow and tell him you'll take the LLE and that you are one of a backup Point Guard. Or tell R.C. you should replace Bonner. That should seal the deal.![]()
I'd say they're the best too.

I think it's unfair to say that.
The Spurs system is difficult to learn and Pop didn't play him much before the playoffs.
Maybe with a lot of practice with the team before the season he could have been a really good player for the Spurs...
But with Blair, Haislip, Mahinmi & Bonner, there's no room anymore for him in the team.
Any rumors about where he might be headed?
Bummer. I was hoping he'd find his way back, but that pretty much came to an end the moment 'Dice said yes.
Good luck, Drew.![]()
It's to bad that Gooden's stay didn't end well.
The LLE is gone.
No it's not. They signed Haislip for the vet minimum. The Spurs still have the LLE.
Low IQ? Dude learned the set plays quickly. To me he's a pretty smart player, He knows how to position himself to get rebounds, knows how to set screens, and knows when to cut. Low IQ? I don't think so!
gooden should be brought back as a 3rd reserve. He learned the plays faster than anyone I've seen don a Spurs Jersy besides Timmy and D-Rob.
Gonna miss Drew. He'd be a of a backup to Dice.
