Drew Gooden
Why is Drew Gooden not signed yet ? What holding it up ?
Gooden is important for Memphis as they need as good a season they can get to avoid giving up too high a draft pick to Detroit.
Grizzlies starters:
PG-Jason Williams
SG-Shane Battier
SF-Drew Gooden
PF-Pau Gasol
C-Lorenzen Wright
Peace, Mike

hmm...
Why doesn't the Grizzlies trade Gooden to Detroit to get back their 2003 first-round-pick and R. White f.e.
I would do that in a second, and IIMO it's a fair deal for both teams.
What do you think?

Gooden signed right before the 1st practice in late June. He played on the Summer league team. He is absolutely a Grizz!

They must be pretty slow. Because he will be a Grizz for 4 seasons.

Anyone think a sign and trade for Michael Redd would be reasonable. Redd is an up and coming player and would benefit the griz. The Griz would have to give up either Dickerson or Person, so I don't know how anyone feels about that. It's just a suggestion
word out

MightyRedd, please let NBA.com and CBS.sportsline know that they're lacking in upgrading their information because Gooden was signed a few days after the draft.
And C-MO, no we're not ready to make a trade like that because we want to see how these guys are going to work out for us this season. Not unless it's Ray Allen, I don't think thats enticing enough for West. Remember, Person and Dickerson will be counted on for their outside shooting to open up things for Gasol and the other Bigs down low; so getting Redd will be defeating the purpose because he's not consistant enough.

Consistent enough???? The dude hit 9 threes in a game last year. Which broke a record Ray Allen set. I think your right, but Michael Redd is consistent enough from beyond the arc.

GET HIM!
I think if we could get Redd for Person and maybe Knight then I'd do it becuase Redd is gonna be a real good 2 guard and if MikeD does come back healthy or gets hurt again he is great insurance!

You could just sign him outright. He hasn't been signed by anyone yet...

I went to a chinese website and it said Yao Ming and Gooden are the only rookies that's yet to sign. Can anyone of you provide me a link saying Gooden is actually signed?
Once again I couldn't find any signing information of Gooden in NBA.com's transaction page. I am pretty sure the page is correct in all signings because it is NBA's officially webpage. So I seriously doubt that Gooden is signed.

Fellas! The Grizz have used all or most of their mid-level exception, they can't afford Michael Redd. And why would the Bucks agree to a sign-and-trade? For WESLEY PERSON? What?
My guess is that Redd ends up in either Dallas or New York. I doubt that Milwaukee will match an unreasonably large offer of 6 yrs $34 mil (the same offer that Ricky Davis got). The Bucks have luxury tax issues, which is the reason they haven't signed Redd yet. It's also the reason they made that Glenn Robinson trade with Atlanta (although getting a 1st round pick from the Hawks is a major plus!).

Grizzlies have announced signing Gordan Giricek, Cezary Trybanski and Earl Watson but have not announced signing Gooden. Why would they announce those three and not announce the #4 overall pick? RealGM shows he signed on 7/3/02. Very confusing.
