"I've been traded before and the way I look at it is it means somebody wants you," [Drew] Gooden told the Tribune by phone. "Sacramento has been interested in me for a couple years, so maybe something can work out long-term there. If not, I'm an unrestricted free agent this summer, so I'm auditioning for other teams."

Gooden "auditioning" = "shooting every time I touch the ball"???
He was probably auditioning with the Bulls for the past year. Will your coach have the “guts” to sit him a lot?
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
Nobody here really understands Natt's rotations
Or what the criteria is to determine playing time. My guess is Gooden’s going to be able to get his shots, unless Kevin borrows Sam Cassell’s testicles for the next 30 games.
Mambo King
Agreed
I’m sick of this “he’s so professional” crap. There is no way this guy is head coach next year.
+1 and1 and 1 and 1 and Oooooone!

I think we have to do another deal now.
We have way too many bigs. Spencer, JT, Drew Gooden, Mikki Moore, Ike Diogu, Shelden Williams, K-9. I only want Spencer, JT, Gooden, and Diogu to get playing time. Moore we might be able to deal.
Diogu
Are you serious? He’s almost as good as K9!
At least he has a good attitude
He can’t take more shots than Salmons did.
Kings rule! (They are royalty - right?)
On the Kings, who does?
He fits right in. Maybe Nocioni will follow suit
Kings rule! (They are royalty - right?)
All I know is...
Gooden has killed the Kings on the boards for as long as I can remember, and it’s not as if anyone aside from JT will be in his way going for boards now.
Dunno, I like Gooden, hopefully there’s a way to make it all fit, assuming he works out and hasn’t been traded by the time I finish typing this sentence.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
we would need to move Bjax first i think
He takes a lot of minutes when we go small
So imitate the action of the tiger!

si.com still hasn't reported the trade
that’s how relevant we are

Dear Drew
No offense, but regarding the audition – I would not anticipate a “call back.”
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Good luck Douby
Sources close to the team say Cassell and Douby will be waived to get to 15 players.
Per Sam’s trade thread.
And good luck Brad, thanks for the play in the past. And good luck to you as well John.

Hope Salmons help Chicago to the 2nd round of the playoffs
And, I hope Portland loses to the Lakers in the first round, and kicks themself for not making the trade for Salmons for the next 3 yrs.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
Anyone know the story on how we clear roster spots.
Since we can’t waive Sam for 7 days and we have no open roster spots, How do we do a 4 for 2 trade? Can we put off signing the trade until the 7days are up and Sam is waived? Can we waive any of the players coming in, as part of the deal? Do we have to waive 2 of our existing players(Douby,Thomas)?
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
you can waive sam
since it came first

Would you guys take a Spurs second round pick (and a retired Robert Horry to match salaries) for Gooden? We’ll throw in Jacque Vaughn if you insist.
vaughn can suck it
but I’d consider the offer if it wasn’t Horry. They don’t have the first, huh? I’d take next year’s first if they still got it.
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!

No
