Monroe: Free Agent Gooden, Spurs Reach Agreement

[SenorSpur]

His tricked up facial hair is gone. There are pics of him on his ESPN player page from the his last game with the Kings and he has a normal (close-cut) goatee now with a clean shaved head.

Sounds and looks good. Now we can simply call him D-Smooth

It pains me to hear that we were close to getting Camby and couldn't get him. Camby would have unquestionably made a (healthy) Spurs team the best in the NBA.

But if the big 3 is healthy, I think Gooden at least puts the Spurs on the level with LA.

Bynum can shoot over Thomas too easily. I know it's extremely unlikely, but I wish Ian would finally get healthy and that his time on the Toros would let him integrate into the team quickly so that we could use him in the playoffs. He's taller and more athletic than Thomas.

Even if Ian is 100% healthy today, he'll not see a single minute of PT during the playoff (other than garbage time). He's a rookie. Pop will not trust him.

If Kurt has problems with Bynum, Pop may have no choice but to try Ian.
