Gooden traded to Clippers?

Sorry guys, I didn't check my email.....here you go.

The current Gooden trade rumor out there is flat
untrue.

Take care,

Didn't think Danny was that dumb. That sought of trade is what you'd expect from Jim Paxson

Ah, it must have appeared in a Peter Vescey article

Brian isnt the most connected guy in the world either..

Im pretty sure he said we werent even talking to Marshall and we signed him a couple days later.

Truth is, nobody knows but the Cavs FO.

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.

I think this is where you're wrong to assume. Harrison definately has the size, and the talent. He did well in summer league. Don't be surprised if they commit to him as their center this year rather than next.

Now, i'm not saying they'd release jeff foster if harrison started, but you never know. You gotta keep up that wishful thinking. :chuckles:

well i don't get how people think that Gooden has more upside then Wilcox. yes Wilcox has been trouble off the floor but on the floor i still clearly remeber him kicking Gooden's ass in that national championship game a couple years back. the talent is there for Wilcox but i wonder about the rest.

Wilcox overpowered gooden, not out played him.

I watched that game and Wilcox outplayed him becuase he overpowered him. Gooden gets pushed around in the post which is my biggest problem with him. Against guys like Brand he simply gets abused.

I guess I'm the minority on this board who think Wilcox should be attemted to get on the Cavs. He's been stuck behind Brand a lot like JO was stuck behind Wallace in Portland. When he's had the chance he's produced: he still raw but IMO he has a lot more potential then Gooden

Um ... Yeah, I think that is the point of getting Wilcox. Gooden gets out powered in the post a lot. If Gooden did not get out powered in the post nobody would be talking about trading him..

This is only looking at it from 1 side though. Yeah he gets bounced around a lot on the defensive end but he disects them on the offensive end he gets away from them can hit a jumper pretty well and is always flying around. He does have his faults but the only reason he is being shopped so hard is because he isn't as good as Z Bron Larry and stuff, if we come in with a stiff for a pg like Blake or Dickau he won't look as bad.

^Whats ur point... we need a defensive PF. not an offensive one

We want to move gooden for a defensive power forward. Wilcox is not a good defender even with his physiche. He has no basketball I.Q. what he is is a cabable scorer down low.

Part of the reason to move Gooden is to get AV some minutes. I don't see us moving Gooden for another PF unless Ferry thinks AV can backup Z.

Getting a better fit at the 4 (a more defensive/rebounding minded player) is number three on our list of priorities right now, behind getting a starting PG and a backup C. Ferry will look first to move Gooden to take care of our PG situation. Either in a direct trade for a PG, or in a move to create cap space to sign a PG.

If we get Wilcox out of this thatd be great, but although Drew is inconsistant, he does average pretty good numbers compared to Wilcox and Jaric.
