Oh My Goodenness

by Natalie Sitto on July 16, 2009

97.1 The Ticket is reporting that The Pistons have Drew Gooden in their sights. Whether they pick up Gooden or the other big men they are looking at it’s just something we are going to have to wait on.

A. Sherrod Blakely of MLive

“Detroit is giving strong consideration to a handful of frontcourt players, including Glen Davis, Drew Gooden, Rasha Nesterovic, former Piston Ben Wallace and Chris Wilcox.”

MY OPINION IS:
BRING BIG BEN BACK, AND YES, SIGN GOODEN
HE PUTS UP SOME DECENT NUMBERS, AND IT WILL BE A NICE ROTATION WITH KWAME, BIG BEN AND DREW
PLEASE DO THAT…

DEEEEEETROIT BASKETBAAAAAAAALLL!!!

I watched PTI last night and they said that the amount of season ticket holders for the Pistons went down by 54% or something crazy like that. I know a lot of that has to do with Detroit’s horrible economy but I wonder if any of it has to do with a lack of interest or uncertainty about what this team will actually be like next season?

What does everyone else think? I live on the west side of the state so it’s hard for me to actually know how bad it is in Detroit.

I agree, anyone else on that list could give you the same production as Gooden and not look nearly as ugly.

I can see him holding his own defensively against some of the back up centers in the league and kwame would have to be responsible of defending the better starting centers. This would mean that against teams like Orlando and Cleveland with dominant starting centers, Kwame will get a lot of minutes.

question is can he stay outta foul trouble… that is my only concern. I say screw it, just get Gooden and sign Big Ben to the vet min and call it a day. I don’t really see us making anymore huge moves this offseason. Even with that we have made some major upgrades and Joe has done good, if we turn out the way we are projected.

Yeah the trade makes sense for us, but not the teams we are trading with… as i stated earlier in my little rant about the examples of why these teams won’t trade mostly because of taking back more cap unless there’s another team involved. Gooden would be fine and I really think we will be fine with signing Kwame and Bynum next yr.

Um, Big Ben is known for his post defense, not his perimeter defense of SF’s.

I don’t understand the Big Baby hate.. BBD is a good young player with offensive skills!! Gooden has some offensive capabilities, but is 5 years older and has basically exhausted his potential.
