<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Daily Herald - The Bulls and Cavaliers have had discussions about 6-foot-10 power forward Drew Gooden, according to a league source.Gooden will be a restricted free agent this summer, so it?s likely the Bulls would have to give up something in return whether they trade for him now or try to sign him during the off-season. The most logical fit in a trade would be Chris Duhon, since the Cavaliers are hurting for a true point guard.There are times when Gooden appears to be a very good player. He?s averaging 11.1 points and 8.8 rebounds this season, which is actually down from 14.4 and 9.2 last year. His minutes have dropped slightly with the addition of Donyell Marshall.The issue with Gooden is he?s been traded twice in four NBA seasons and many observers don?t expect him to stay in Cleveland. Such a history always raises a red flag, since it?s natural to assume something must be wrong with the guy if three teams don?t want him.But Gooden has an advocate on the Bulls in Kirk Hinrich, a former teammate at Kansas. Any negatives in Gooden?s game have gone unnoticed by the Bulls? point guard.</div>
It'd definately help us out with our size problems, He's a great offensive rebounder and a decent scorer, although i really think we need more of an inside presence, as much as I dont want to admit it, we need Curry.
(this from a Cavs fan)I will be mad if this trade happens. I do not want to trade Gooden for a guard. Gooden is a good rebounder. He gets a lot of good points off of offensive rebounds and he has a nice turn around fade away. I do not really want to trade him unless we get a better 4 man.
