Gooden traded to Clippers?

[Pioneer10]

Gooden for Jaric and Wilcox is an absolute steal IMO. Take it and run

any links to this besides a realgm topic? the only 2 stations i'd even think of taking seriously are Channel 8 and Channel 3...19 news jumps the gun to try to gain more viewers, and 5 has always just been a step back....8 and 3 are the only ones credible imo..

Gooden for Jaric and Wilcox is a good deal, but if this deal is true, that means Sarunas aint coming.

It's being reported that Utah is close to a deal with Sarunas after the Bonzi Wells trade freed up cap space.

BOO!

Whoever said they want McInnis over Sarunas is a joke. Maybe you want us to finish in the lottery so we can get a good draft pick or something because that would be Jeff would try and take us. Euro are usually busts eh! Maybe you would of traded Dirk for Tractor as well. Some people just dont understand fundamentals.

So much for getting good people here if we score Wilcox. Decent player and helps but is the type of player we have been avoiding. Jaric is a good fit, but I'd still have preferred Sarunas.

From the Insider's forum, here is one poster's opinion on this matter:

I saw Galleti's report and it was pure speculation based off the pure speculation in the LA Times and Orange County Register. I probably wouldnt even categorize it as a rumor.

People just assume that Gooden will be traded for any ol' piece part the Cavaliers need. But, when you sit down and look at it Gooden for Jaric makes no sense.

Why should the Cavaliers trade a 23 year old PF coming off a career 14-9 year for a 10-6 PG that wasnt going to start for the Clippers? As far as Jaric goes how in heck did his market value get up to starting at 5M?

Did I miss something?

If Ferry trades Gooden so they can overpay Jaric it will be first dumb Paxson-esque move of his tenure. It will be shades of Derek Anderson for Lamond Murray (7yrs 28M when the most Murray was offered was 2yrs 4M by the Spurs).

ok now i would be so damn pissed if we did it gooden for jaric straight up...now i dont know if i would be rly even that happy if it was jaric and wilcox...if jaric is too much and we can get damon or sarunas just do that.gooden showed what he can do on the boards and scoring...now give him his year with mike brown to learn D...dont give up on gooden please.

the thing that scares me the most about this season is having

sarunas
"z"
drew

all out on the floor at the same time... especially that front line, they couldn't guard a snowman...

i think some are looking at 14-9 and want to keep that.. i just wish there was a stat to show how much drew gave up on the other end...

we need something on the inside that has a defensive mind set...

There is - on a per 48 minute basis, Drew scored 22.4 ppg with an effective FG% of .494 and grabbed 14.3 rebounds - the opposing PF scored 18.5 ppg on .473 shooting and grabbbed 11.6 rebounds.

That's an interesting stat LJ4. Thanks. I was going to comment on all the Wilcox buzz. I don't see what Wilcox adds other than a Cav with a rap sheet. (Today's LA Times carries the story about his being arrested on a gun charge.) He hasn't shown diddly after several years in the NBA, and he's undersized as a back-up center. If we get forced into a Gooden for Jaric trade because we lost out on Sarunas, I'd rather not have Wilcox included.

 

[cavs-hughes]

if jaric can stay healthy its a decent trade. but an article i read on this said we may have to throw in Sasha to make the deal work.

Like what I stated earlier, along with what a few others have mentioned, Wilcox would come here as a bad influence with a highly erratic game. Jaric is a decent fit, but care be a little care free. This trade is not smart at all particulary if it includes Pavlovic. Hopefully this is all innuendo.

 

[RuanuLaw]

If it is Gooden AND PAV, I am going to smack somebody!

 

[KI4MVP]

we have a trade exception - so salary wise, I don't think we have to include Pavlovic.

 

[Troy Wingate]

We better bloody not include Pav. I want him in Cleveland. This kid has too much of a brightside to trade for Chris Wilcox.

I've been pimping Saras harder than anyone I know, but the Cavs could use Jaric. My fear is that we don't get Saras or Jaric and have to go with plan D, Steve Blake or worse! Utah can offer more coin, so at this point we're underdogs for Saras. Jaric is restricted, which could force a sign and trade. Once Saras signs with Utah, the Clips know we're desperate and could demand an unbalanced trade. You know, Gooden PLUS a Sasha or Luke. Hopefully Ferry's not dumb enough to do that, which means we're left with plan D.

Ever since the Jazz got in the running for Saras I've had a bad feeling that we're not going to get either of the two PGs we want. **sigh**
