    Re: Gooden S&T is a possibilty.

    http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=..._id=46370&rfi=6They say there is a possibility of Damon Jones and Drew Gooden for DWest and Theo. I don't know if i like this or not. I probably wouldn't do it, as Gooden can't play Center full-time, Damon Jones is overpayed and i don't like his attitude, and he can't play the 2. so our line-up would look like this:Sebastian Telfair/Rajon Rondo/Damon JonesWally Szczerbiak/Tony Allen/Allan RayPaul Pierce/Gerald Green/Brian ScalabrineDrew Gooden/Ryan Gomes/Leon PoweKendrick Perkins/Al Jefferson/Dwayne Jones

    true. We'd be a better rebounding team, but i don't know if it's worth it. If there were more trades to come, i would probably do it.

    they can get offense from jefferson, powe and gomes.they should keep Ratliff so 1. Jefferson can stay a PF and 2. Help out Perk b/c hes defensive minded as well.

    i agree theo is a great mentor to have, but he's rarely healthy, and a guy like Gooden would be a good double-double threat to have. It's just, why do these guys have to want West?

    Because they still need a true PG like Delonte West. Eric Snow can still be effective, but he's bench material. He reminds me of Kevin Ollie, a bit. They also drafted Daniel Gibson to play the point, but they still need a legitimate starting PG. Damon Jones is a SG, he's their shooter off the bench.

    Re: Gooden S&T is a possibilty.

    I am still unsure about this. I guess it would help with the logjam in the back court, just not in a way I would prefer. I think if Gooden was more of a 5 I would like to see it more. He is a proven post player though, he has a decent midrange shot aswell. Damon Jones is very moveable too though. I say I am still about 75% on this, in favor though. Would be interesting. This would be great for the Cavs though! West and James would be a sick duo, and the Cavs need a backup 5 very badly.

    Re: Gooden S&T is a possibilty.

    My take - I would absolutely LOVE Drew Gooden in a Celtics uniform. One problem - DELONTE???? No. No. No. End of discussion.

    I also read on CelticsBlog that it could be either Delonte, Theo, or Gomes (combo of 2 of those guys). Delonte or Gomes? Eh.. no thanks.
