I saw Drew Gooden last year at the Big 12 tournament, and he was pretty good college player.  i saw him once this year when the grizzlies played the suns.  i was just wondering if he is any good this year in the NBA, i havent been following him that much.

Orlando fucked this one up IMO....Gooden isnt that good (yet) and Miller was what the Magic needed.  The 3 point specialist who spots up when Mcgrady kicks it out.  Orlandos already got a bunch of average PF's like Kemp, Declerq and Garrity,  Why ad Gooden to the mix?  That was stupid trading Mike Miller IMO.

gooden may be an ok player...but he is under sized for a power forward...he's not what orlando needed...the sleeper in this deal i think is giriceck who could develop into a good player/scorer...as far as memphis goes..they're hopeless

I can't believe they traded Miller, that was a pretty dumbass move, but I'm sure they must have seen something in the players that they have got in the trade or they wouldn't have done it. Plus those draft picks are bound to come in handy with Memphis being so bad, they are gonna be quite close to the start of the draft.
