    But yeah thats a lot of money for a bench guy IMO.

    Wow they have a former Mr. All NBA GM even, I wonder if he wore his sash as he signed the contract.

    You look like a genius one minute and a moron the next.

    This is Hammond's time to look like a moron.

    Is that the same John Hammond that turned down our job and left us with John Nash? I wonder who the John Hammonds of this GM search will be?

    What's a fair price for a 17ish PER PF who put up 17/11 per/36 and shoots 48%?

    I suppose we could quibble with the length of the contract, but per year, it seems like good value for that type of production.

    It's more than stats. There's a reason that a player as talented as Gooden has burned through more teams than Paul Shirley.

    What's the reason? $6 million/per seems very reasonable to me.

    For a backup PF with a history of being a lockerroom cancer? The annual amount isn't so egregious as the length. I'll bet he's not a Buck in two years. Gooden and Scott Skiles? Oil and water.

    Whether he's with the Bucks or not is another topic, but production wise, this signing is an absolute steal for what Gooden brings on the court. In another thread, posters are pondering signing Wes Matthews for $4 million. Now THAT is ridiculous IMO.

    I completely agree. The per year amount wouldn't be so bad if it were for 3 years, but a five year commitment for a guy who has habitually driven his coaches nuts wherever he's gone is insane at that price..

    Possibly because they are all alike, in other words, team mates tend to hate their guts.
