Gooden traded to Clippers?

[aaronr]

Ronnie Artest's reminds me that I'd like Jeff Foster as Z's back-up. I haven't got the slightest idea what he makes, but I'd do Sasha for him since we're redundant with him, Luke and Ira. On the Gooden to Clippers and goodbye to Sarunas wailing, let's just all cool down and see if there is any truth. I may be wrong, but I think Ferry had enough ammo left over after signing Marshall to get Sarunas, and I think Sarunas has plenty of reasons to sign with the Cavs. Maybe I'm guilty of wishful thinking, but I want Sarunas at the point instead of Jaric. And I want to keep Gooden. If those two things come about, and we could add Foster to back up Z, then I'd be happy as a clam

James/Marshall/Newble/
Gooden/Marshall/Varejao
Z/Foster/Varejao
Sarunas/Snow/Hughes
Hughes/Jackson/Newble

Drew/Sasha has way more potential and stability than Wilcox/Jaric. I would be very disspointed if Drew and Sasha are Clippers come Monday.

I agree completely. Hopefully it will end up just being Gooden for Wilcox and Jaric, no Sasha or other player involved. I mean I don't want to give up Drew, but I couldn't pass up that trade.

The moderator at the Insider Forum said Cleveland is not interested in trading Gooden for Jaric. On the flipside, he also said Cleveland might be more interested in Jaric than Sarunas because of the financial hardball Sarunas has been playing. I'm not sure what his sources are but they're a solid site that's usually on the ball.

I respect Pavlovic's game, he is like our Jeff Foster, they guy that does the dirty work and asks for no credit in return. I would not be to excited to see someone like that go but there must be a reason for a trade like this?

Thats not really Sasha's role on our team. You may be thinking fo someone else... Varejao maybe?

This is nothing more than speculation based on totally unsubstantiated rumor. Let's not get too excited about what a 2nd rate hack like Chuck Galeti who works on a joke of a "newscast" reports.

The Cavs do have interest in Jaric. The trade speculation about Gooden has mentioned by reporters who think that Gooden could possibly be moved because of the signing of Marshall. This isn't a real actual rumor as of now.

With the Sarunas signing starting to look questionable than Jaric is the best option out there. A move would have to be made to clear more cap room for him and a sign and trade is a strong possibility. It doesn't have to involve Gooden though. Watson and Stoudamire would be the next best options in my opinion.

I love that 82 game website that breaks down how a player does in the time a player is on the court. Very interesting that in his time on the court this season, Lebron James only outscored his opponent by just 2pts. per game on average. Kinda cuts into the belief that he carries us on the court ....given all the minutes he plays. If he's scoring 23 a night, he's giving up 21 ...anyway, I love that site,,,,I'll be referring to it quite often I'm sure.

I'll take Watson over Jaric not as injury prone, and like Karma mentioed 5 dimes per 20 is about hmmm lets see about 12 assists per game and that was playing with bench players like Swift Cardinal Dahntay Jones and stuff with Lebron Z hughes and marshall out there he could easily get 15 and be counted on to be sort of a younger eric snow, defensive but who can run an offense...

Wishlist..
1. Sarunas
2. Damon Jones
3. Earl Watson
4. Damon Stoudemire
5. Steve Blake/Milt Palacio..

If your going to refer to it, you need to learn how to use those stats properly.

The teams +/- when James is on the court is +2.3 points. That means they (the cavs as a team) score 2.1 points more then their oppenents when James is on the floor. That doesn't mean the guy James is guarding scores only 2 points less then James himself.

James infact scores 9 points more then his opponent per48 and when he is sitting on the bench the Cavs as a team get outscored by over 7 points per48.

i bet bron and hughes will push eachother in a very competitive way to lead the league in steals which may help us.unless they excessively jump the passing lanes over and over and get burned.bron is a better person to jump the passing lanes while hughes can guard u straight up and rip u...nice combo there.

 

[Karma]

Aaronr, i like your thoughts about Foster. He would be great to attain, but Indiana are unlikely to let him to go, especially with Harrison yet to assert himself.

 

[Cavs1]

I'd rather this trade rumor isn't true. Trust me, I'm not that huge of a Gooden fan, but I think we should just keep Gooden and get Sarunas or another PG like Watson, Stoudamire, and Dickau still hasn't signed with anyone has he?

 

[QCCav]

Can anyone here confirm the rumor of this trade? I have read all sorts of speculations including reports that this is a trade of Matynas A., Gooden and Pavlovic for Jaric, Wilcox and a 2nd rounder. If this is true then the team just took a huge step backwards so I can't really believe Ferry would be crazy enough to do it.

The current Gooden trade rumor out there is flat
untrue.
