Cavaliers report
Gooden next to talk about new contract
By Brian Windhorst
Beacon Journal sportswriter

Behind the scenes, the entire Cavaliers organization celebrated Saturday when LeBron James announced that he will accept a contract extension.

Outwardly, though, it was back to business. The team enters what could be a dicey negotiation with their new No. 1 priority, free agent Drew Gooden. They had asked Gooden's agents to be patient until James' situation was settled; now talks will begin in earnest.

He is a restricted free agent, which means the Cavs can match any offer he receives. Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry has said he wants to re-sign Gooden but also won't let him go with nothing in return.

I think Gooden is at the Cav's mercy here: no team with cap space is interested in him.

If we don't get an oppurtunity to do a S&T, I bet we'll Gooden sign a contract that is very cap friendly. I just can't see him holding out.

Gooden getting big eyes

This story makes it seem like there might be a reasonable chance that Gooden might not be back with the cavs next year, what do you think we could get for him if we were to trade him?

Completely depends on if some a team is nuts to give him something like a Nene contract. I doubt teams are willing to spend much on Drew but we'll wait and see. Never know what will happen in a league that has gone way overboard for players of of far less calibre such as Jerome James adn Blount
