Wilcox is certainly NOT worth 60 million dollars.</div> i don't know if Denver screwed up or if people are just morons, why are wilcox and gooden comparing themselves to Nene, they're def not on his level

I agree, Wilcox isn't quite what Nene is. However, neither have proven much of anything at this level. If anything, Gooden is better than both of them. Out of all those guys, he's been the only one that has consistently produced and stayed healthy. Wilcox hasn't been much better than a backup, he just happened to have a good second half with Seattle. With Nene, he hasn't proven anything either. He got hurt all of last year, and that'll leave you to wonder if he's fully healed from that as well.

If you had to choose between the three of them at the same money you would take Gooden? really? I know Gooden might have better numbers but he's gotten more time, Nene has been behind Camby and Martin, Nene can play both positions and has better D. There is a reason Gooden has been traded 3 times and it's not cause he's worth 60 million
Wilcox has produced everytime he's been given a chance to start and play minutes, even in LA. Unfortunately he was stuck behind Brand and Kaman for a lot of that time. I wouldn't pay him 10m a year over just 30 games, but that's still nearly half a season that he's produced at a consistently high level.
Sounds like the only logical trade at this point is Wilcox for Gooden (Kansas reunion!). If it goes down, I would hope the Sonics get something else with Gooden, but that would be hard to justify given his numbers in comparison to Wilcox's.
