    Betcha Zo was just being polite (acting interested in joining a team after 13 years with the current World Champs). Polite is nice.

    Mourning: "I'm on such a high right now," he said. "I'm really enjoying the moment. I'm not thinking about basketball right now."

    Gooden is frustrating because he can be as great a player as he wants to be. Problem is he's already as good as he ever wants to be. Zero upside.

    I hope this is just the Spurs' front office idea of a good joke. They couldn't even get a second look from Mourning when Jason Kidd was trying to close the deal. Jeez . . .

    Come on guys . . .

    Kori do you have any inside information about what ferry is going to do with drew?
    Gooden would be a great take, if Spurs can afford him (I think he's making 10 mil). Scot Pollard plays his heart out on D under the basket, keeps the other bigs very honest...but doesn't have much gas left.

    The Spurs could offer Mourning more than the vet minimum, so I'm sure Mourning had to at least think about it.

    Excuse me, Gooden only makes 4 mil, but now that LeBron has signed his extension, you know...

    Although, I do like Butler's age and upside.

    I know we all keep amending this, but I think everyone has to agree that an offseason of adding Javaktovas/Butler plus trading Rasho and getting rid of Nazr has to be considered very successful.

    Gooden is probably the leauge's worst defensive big man. I'm going to go ahead and say no thanks.

    javtokas isn't a guarantee he hasn't proven anything yet. Butler has proven playin 13 minutes a game. Gooden is better than the both of them.

    Gooden is a horrible defender. That's pretty insulting to Haslem.

    I'm just saying gooden has all the assets to guard dirk more effectively than any spur.

    And if there were stats to prove how much of a horrible defender you all say he is. I'd like to see them.

    Well, you've already done more defending than Gooden will ever do. Gooden will not be a Spur this year or hopefully any year. He's a horribly overrated player.

    Take it for what its worth... Gooden is 5th in Offensive rebounds per 48 minutes and 8th in rebounds per 48 minutes and 16th in field goal percentage...

    Rebounding was an achilles' heel for the spurs last year

    Gooden played about 3 good games in the playoffs. He started in Game 2 against Wizards and was 11-12, 24/16 in 39 minutes. Though an abberation, his career stats of 10.7/8.4 aren't too shabby, considering what's out there.

    If the Spurs want shotblocking, I can imagine them pulling off a Brent Barry for Brendan Haywood deal. Haywood is probably the best shotblocker that the Spurs can get at this point. Plus he's fallen out of favor in Washington.

    Makes sense to me.

    Brendan Haywood also is DECENT offensively.


    Might be another Nazr Mohammed though.

    Would any Spurs fan be against a Barry for Haywood swap? That trade makes a lot of sense, especially considering the Wizards have been looking for a SG and it would save the Spurs some money.

    At this point I dont see how anybody would argue about trading for a starting Center.
