Wow, the first "move" of the off-season has to do with one of my least favorite players ever: Drew Gooden. Yeah, I've disliked Gooden since he was picked up by the Magic and successfully did nothing to help T-Mac out. Since then, any time a team needs a random ass player that is "OK, but not that good, but still better than Slava Medvedenko" they seem to get Drew Gooden!
Well, that reputation still is still holding up as the Milwaukee Bucks have decided to make a terrible move and sign Drew to a 5 year $32 million contract! This will be his ninth NBA team and he is only 28! Oh ya, don't think he's going to stay for a while now that he's locked into a contract, this man will be traded some time in the next three years, I guarantee it.
See, this is what pisses me off. Gooden just goes all Carlos Boozer on us and decides to sign with the first team that throws him some money. DOES ANYBODY CARE ABOUT WINNING TITLES ANYMORE THAT IS NOT ON THE LAKERS OR CELTICS?!?!?! Gooden could have been a great bench player, hell, even starter when one of these super teams emerges in the next couple weeks. Ugggghhhh...so frustrating...
And the Bucks, what the hell are you guys doing?! You had such a great season, surprising to say the least. You NEED a scorer and by that I mean you NEED to re-sign John Salmons. Instead, you know add another defensive rebounder to your squad. I mean I know Ersan Ilyasova and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute Johnson Simba Usain Washington are just ridiculously good on the offensive end, but maybe you could have saved that money???? Let's not forget that the Bucks just drafted the equivalent of Theo Ratliff in Larry Sanders, so know they have this glut of defensive, rebounding bigs. Well. Later Bucks.
