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.”

I agree. He would be the best fit of the bunch, plus he seems like a Joe Dumars kind of player to me.
yeah…but a three way trade is still a possibility to be able to get these players.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a sign and trade for David Lee, but I know they won’t do that because the Knick’s will want an expiring contract for the summer of 2010 and the Pistons don’t have one.
That’s what i thought as well lol
Lets call it the reverse rat patch (rat tail soul patch).
I dig the trade, just not waiting another year to possibly getting someone when it’s an uncertain thing whether any of those people will leave their respected teams right now. Also, with what money do we now with the two recent acquisitions of Charlie V and Ben Gordon? You play for now not in an uncertain future.
You don’t necessarily have to have potential all stars 1-5 to be able to win a championship. Sure the center position the way it is now will lack scoring, but the other 4 positions will provide plenty of it. I think that joe is managing this team well. If the Pistons can get one more legit center, one who can defend get a lot of rebounds, and set good picks for all of the cutters and shooters that are on the team, then I think that they’ll be able to win some games. I also like how now there’s plenty of young talent on the team, and also there’s veteran leadership in Rip and Tay. These guys also been through the playoffs plenty and won a championship. I think that Joe will be hard pressed to trade these two. The backcourt rotation can be managed efficiently and if the Pistons get one more big that can play, like Drew Gooden did for Clev. in the past, then I see this team winning some ballgames.
His stats don’t look too beastly and his free throw %….not good.
i prefer vagina patch lol
I want Big Ben back for a role player and a team leader. Last season the team looked like they were lost. If you recall, Ben would snarl at anybody who wasn’t trying out there and they’d toe the line fast. We can have him back plus sign a free agent. The locker room needs a boss!
Just so we’re clear. Gooden isn’t a thug. Gooden is a numbskull, a clown, a douchenozzle – but he ain’t a thug.
not too mention boozer is only 27 or 28…not a dinosaur last time i checked…
WHAT A UGLY BONEHEAD AHAHAH is anybody else looking at that picture ahahahaha
i said dinosaur strictly in regards to the way he looks.. like a t-rex, no joke.
Why consider all these names when Lee is on the market? Why even think of anyone else?
emeka would be so greatttttttttt
rip and tay for emeka and some decent wingman, or maybe even gerald wallace! but would that fly?
i’m gonna go w/ a no
if you trade rip and tay, you completely trade all our leadership and veteran experience…… and amare wont play D if you put a gun to his head..
Yes.
I agree with what you said about Gooden, but that’s about it.
he should play for the wings lol
because the knicks will match our offer as we can only give up 3.5 mill
BRING BACK BIG BEN!!
(EVEN THOUGH HE’S NOT THE SAME)
Don’t sign that rabit. He can’t play Center. I would rather have Fat Baby- at least he’s younger. Just get Big Ben, give the young players a defensive mindset.
That patch makes me puke all over the place. Even at the zoo.
I was robbed by two men.
They were talking on the radio today about gooden sayning he was interested in 4 teams, none of which were Detroit.
ben wallace is washed up we can sign drew gooden and trade kwame to da knicks 4 money so we sign david lee or sign chris wilcox
well talent wise he is probably the best out of those ones listed. Though not sure why we are giving so many long term contracts to guys that seem like players that are best of this summer. Why not make a trade for someone you really want PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T LET THAT BE BOOZER
i wouldn’t mind that trade either, but why would the bobcats want to do it, they would lose cap space and get older
He’s a restricted FA. Too risky.
Nicely put.
Just stop it already with your David Lee hopes.
wowww please don’t do this, save the money for next year when your gonna need it to resign bynum and kwambe, since the cap is going to be extremely low.
Plus if we don’t sign Gooden or someone like him then we will be giving our rookies valuable experience, and my guess is one of them will be better than one of these veteran bigs this year if we give them minutes.
Also please trade rip for either Chandler, Boozer, Camby, or Kaman, it just makes sense!
hahahaha vagina patch best word ever!!
Lol I read Manny’s rant and I too wonder if he has a working brain.
I would love to see Big Ben in a Pistons uniform again.
If the big man starved spurs do not want gooden…why would we want him. Popovich is one of the best coaches in the game, if he doesnt want gooden that says a lot.
Bosh has won the Twitter challenge
i beleive we are 3rd right now but if we trade for boozer we would be 2nd at 24 avg age right behind warriors? read that like 3 weeks ago so some of it might be a little off.
kwame
are u retarded or just dumb?
haha me too. I think they called it a “duck tail” in Cleveland. but we all know it’s a vagina patch.
I watched Gooden last year play with the Spurs. He will not be missed in San Antonio by any means. He brings little to the court besides some energy which is often negated by his lack of talent. I’ll always picture him as an annoying Cav flopping along side the rest of them. Don’t do it Joe.
wat ever da pistons do im up for it but i hope next season we can get chris bosh next season
i think we are done with trades, after the showing we are getting out of the draft picks daye summers and jerebko also add in deron we have a full roster, save the money for next year so we can resign bynum and kwame
lmao
gooden is a real badboy in the court so hes perfect to be one of the rooster or starter,his quecness,rebound are the most needed for the pistons,.
pickup gooden,trade kwabrown and jason max 4 boozer 4dat guys our team become solid even our of the beanch,just emagine
look i think big ben lost it….but once he gets that vibe back when he enters in the palace he’ll get all nostoslgic and play like he did…no one rooted for him as a bull or even in cleavland and he wasn’t gonna go up in popularity in phenoix….so let him come home he’ll should be more humbled after being so greedy about the money….to just get respect
from a city that once loved him….remeber guys we love the man
