    He is 31 years old. Should the Blazers have interest? He might make for a good 6th man and the Blazers could really use hustle and rebounding off the bench. :sherlock:

    hell no. Why? to take away 7 million in cap space next offseason? Maybe if he comes with Sanders or Henson. Maybe.

    Not unless he's super-cheap. He sucks. He was a Clipper when Olshey (and Blake and Outlaw) were there, so Olshey knows his worth.

    Every team that has ever acquired Drew Gooden is shopping him six months later.

    I like Gooden. Obviously not for a big cap hit, tho. He'd be a fine 6th man. Plays 4/5 well enough. Not a defensive stud.

    He's the post version of Ramon Sessions. Good as a short-term fix, but nothing you want to be tied to contractually.

    The guy's got a career 16.7 PER. He's had an 18.8 PER last season, averaging 13.7/6.5 in 26 MPG.

    He's owed $6.7M for the next three seasons, including this one.

    ick. Only if MIL throws in a prospect or a pick with him, but they'd probably rather just amnesty him instead.

    If he's amnestied, he'll be starting for the Heat the next day.

    If MIA wins the bidding war. The only thing I don't want about him is his contract that extends past this upcoming summer. I'd be fine with us throwing a bid at him too.

    I think he's a very good player. He's a bit old to build around, obviously. If he's amnestied, he can go anywhere he wants for vet minimum while the Bucks pay the rest. He could ask for more than vet minimum and end up getting paid more than the ~$20M he's owed.

    I think he goes where he might get a ring.

    The deadline for amnesty this season has passed, so it would have to be next year if that is the route Milwaukee takes.
