    He is 27 years old, 3 years younger than HEDO TURKOGLU. Also he is available for dirt cheap! he could do great things at backup PF. Anyone disagree? He has been a pretty consistent backup his whole career! He could fit in here very well i think.

    He brings nothing to the team that we don't already have.

    Yes, he would be a steal for vet. min. But, we won't sign anyone to vet. min. or any other contract until we have caught our larger fish first.

    (Of course, I don't think he signs for vet. min., but hopefully you get my point)

    He does great things? He'd be the last resort possible if we were desperate.

    If KP signs him, obviously he sees the potential in Gooden. After all, he knows more than us all.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I wouldn't mind Gooden on a contract at some piece of the MLE, after a Hinrich deal.

    If Portland ends up with Millsap, then there's no point to acquiring Gooden.

    in all seriousness, gooden will be fine. he won't put us over the top but probably better than a rookie PF or Girly Arms Ruffin.

    I would sign Gooden's beard to a 5 year/$50 mil deal. The rest of Gooden - someone else can have that.

    I agree. Jerryd Bayless + Gooden's beard = prime Baron Davis.

    I agree.

    Gooden is not--and never will be--a great player. He's not very tough and he's not a good defender. He is a big body, though, who has offensive skills and I think that, for the right price he'd be a good addition.

    I'm guessing it's because Drew Gooden sucks.

    The real question of course is Gooden uglier than he sucks or suckier than he's ugly?

    Six teams in seven years. That speaks volumes. No thanks.
