Gooden shows love to Spurs and fans.

Gooden did what was asked of him without complaint or second guessing.

He came to the Spurs with high hopes and was never really given a chance to fulfill them. I can't think of too many players who could have handled a seemngly unfair situation any better. It would be fitting if the Spurs could retain him or at least help him to a better destination.

[Buddy Holly]

I bet he signs for the LLE if he's out there long enough without a MLE offer.

[iilluzioN]

, id say sign him for the LEE, Dyce and Gooden while timmy rest in the bench.

[Spurtacus]

If we can get him for the LLE I'm all for it. Defensive liability but he knows how to score.

[angelbelow]

good luck gooden!

[raspsa]

Thanks Gooden.

[50Bestspurever]

Does that mean the 2007 finals picture go back up of him getting his ass handed to him?

[jag]

Someone is going to offer him more than the LLE. He's a guy that can put points on the board...and there are definitely teams that will pay for that.

Is it possible a sign and trade with OKC : they sign Gooden for 3 millions and then trade him to us for Bonner and a 1 ch. ?

if he doesnt sign for the LLE he should play somewhere else. I wish him all the best and would like to see him back for the LLE, but 3mio? thats 6mio for Holt to pay....I know, I'm sounding like Ebenezer Scrooge himself, but Holt has done so much this offseason, we shouldnt blame him for not paying insane money for lesser players!

[spurspokesman]

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.

yup. He will be of value wherever he goes.

[Mark in Austin]

good luck Drew. Thanks for the effort.

[Dro210]

Yall are killin me... No room? Lesser player? lol... I won't even say why that's so funny. Yall should know.

I would LOVE Gooden back for the LLE if he would do it. I expect him to get a bigger than LLE contract from Orlando tho. They could definatly use him, and he lives there.

Either way... I Twittered him the other day and said I hope he comes back, but if not, thanks for coming here last year when he had other choices... but thanks again Drew!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good Luck Gooden

[SpursFan0728]

A classy organization produces classy players

[urunobili]

Class... all the best for Gooden

[Allanon]

He'd be a great backup if his price weren't so high. I think he's still expecting better than MLE money for his next contract.

[tp2021]

Very classy. Good luck Drew.

[JoeChalupa]

That was classy.

[bigfan]

Agree with everyone else Gooden was a class act and if he'll take the LLE we'd love to have him back.

[sonic21]

classy

[symple19]

Drew Gooden will be missed - I still hope he grows his hair back the way it was a few years ago. He had that little patch of hair on the back of his head. I called it "yak fluff". Best hair-do ever!! GL DREW!

[Brazil]

Classy. He will be missed, he did a fine job last year, I wish him the best but no lakers, cavs, celts, mavs, magic... pllleeeaaasssse

Orlando is one of the teams that are waaaaaaay over the luxury tax. I doubt they're going to take a direct hit by signing Gooden. No way they can afford him right now.

[ploto]

Pop should have played him in the play-offs
