Drew Gooden likely to be bought out ( Wojo Rumor)

[PosImpos]

We should definitely try to sign Gooden if we trade BBD.

I like it.

We missed out on Joe Smith and Drew Gooden last year for Mikki Moore. Lets not make the same mistake again.

If Gooden comes cheap I think he'd be a worthwhile rental for this season. I like his rebounding, which has been a problem for us, and he has decent height compared with Davis and Shelden.

I agree he could be a flake, but there's not much risk bringing him in until the end of the season and then re-evaluating his worth.

If Gooden isn't an option, what about getting Kurt Thomas cheap?

I don't think either player, Kurt Thomas or Drew Gooden, is an upgrade over Rasheed Wallace or Glen Davis.

Kurt Thomas is another undersized slow footed center while Drew Gooden is a poor defender with inefficient scoring potential.

So I don't have much interest in either one of them.

I think Drew's a slightly better 4 than Davis.  His superior rebounding ability and length are I think more advantageous in a limited role than Baby's floor game.

kurt thomas sure could be another pj brown off the bench
