Golden State Warriors Interested in Gooden?
Sun, Jul 29, 2007 By Tariq Ali
Trade talks between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers regarding Drew Gooden and Anderson Varejao have been rumored in the past few days.
League sources indicated on Thursday that Gooden may be moved to the Warriors for the Traded Player Exception the Warriors acquired in the Jason Richardson trade on Draft Night. Such a move would provide the Cavaliers with needed financial flexibility to re-sign Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic, both restricted free agents.
Possible trade talks between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers regarding Drew Gooden have not moved along very swiftly, an informed source close to the situation told Basketball News on Saturday.
“There’s nothing really substantial there,” the source said, but did admit that Gooden’s name has been mentioned in various trade rumors.
Drew Gooden name has been mentioned in every trade rumor since last year so we can confirm any of this.
At the same time Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has reportedly given GM Danny Ferry permission to go into luxury tax territory to find the right players, but it is yet to be seen whether Ferry actually does this.

I’m confused on this one? First how can we become a better team by trading a player only so we can sign are own freeagents? The whole deal is we loss Gooden and gain nothing! They do this deal it better lead into a big addition quick.
what they need to do is trade gooden to the Warriors for a backup C or PF, sign Palvolic & Verajeo, sign brevin knight, trade gibson for a young decent shooting SG instead of freakin Larry ‘always injured’Hughes-but could be quite the 6th man.
“a young decent shooting SG”…..did you watch the 2007 playoffs???? sit hughes, get knight: solid
