Cavs looking to trade Drew Gooden

Cavs are in desperate need of a point.

Would they bite on Chucky + Cook + 2nd rounder for Gooden?

They want a tough rebounder and a strong PF? What about Cook? man10

We throw in even Slava for some offensive thunder out there. They just need to adjust to Slavas one touch offense man10

LOL Gooden is a backup PF. He canÂ´t bang, is weak and doesnÂ´t have any low post game. He prefers 15 footers. He has a suspect work ethic and on court his effort seems to be lackluster from time to time. He refuses to play defense sometimes and he is overrating himself. He thinks he is a star in the making but he is not. He was once said to have all-star potential but to me he is more of a 6th man right now. He is selfish too.
Now the positive part is he has good size, is a very good reboundr and a young guy who could develop into a solid starter. Right now he is a role player. IF we could do this trade without giving up Caron then do it IN A SECOND (for George, Cook, Sasha ...). IF we have to trade Caron I would take Kwame anyday over Gooden and thrice on sundays.

They want to upgrade the position so they're trading Gooden. So why the hell do we want him?

What is wrong with Drew Gooden?
14.4 pts and 9.2 rebs is pretty good.
And a PF with a 81% ft and 9.2% fg.
Gooden is a large improvement compared to our current PF's, since Odom is more of a SF. Drew is starting material and would need to bulk up and play better defense in the West, but he provides a consistent mid range jumper that would be great for Turiaf to learn.

I'd love Drew Gooden. But I want to see if we can get a higher quality player for now.

9.2 is his rebounds a game. He has a 49% fg percentage..

I'd rather have Gooden over Kwame.

I really hope the Lakers make a run at the dude. We wouldn't have to give up any of our big three and could have a starting five of

g-Butler
g-Kobe
sf-Odom
pf-Gooden
c-Mihm

with Daniels, J. Jones and Turiaf coming off the bench. When was the last time we had a solid bench?

i am happy we didn't go for gooden...he is weak and plays no defense-he keeps getting shipped-there must be something wrong with that cat.

That's the last thing we need in the western conference
