Drew Gooden agreed to a three-year deal worth around $23 M after originally seeking something in the neighborhood of the 6-year/$60 M deal that Nene signed with the Nuggets. That Nene deal was not representative of the market, and caused a lot of free agents to inflate their expectations. Many expected Gooden to be in another city by this time, but the stars aligned, and he’ll be back with the Cavs…The Al Harrington deal that will send the forward to the Pacers for draft picks might finally be done, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I’m not holding my breath…Bonzi Wells is still looking for a home. The latest rumor is that the Kings are talking to the Nuggets about a sign-and-trade. Wells isn’t worth what he’s asking…Isiah Thomas got a good player, but he paid too much when he signed Jared Jeffries to a 5-year/$30 M deal. Jeffries is solid, but he hasn’t shown the offensive ability to be worth $6 M a season.
