Good(en) Deal for Cavs Exposes Bad Deals for Warriors

Stay connected for news and updates

Bay Area product Drew Gooden and the Cleveland Lebrons have reportedly agreed on a 3 year contract at about $23 million. That works out to a little over $7.5 million a season. The Cavs got a steal here for a player who does the little things, has the potential to be a rebounding force, and has yet to reach him prime.

Compare Gooden's shorter and cheaper reported contract to Mike Dunleavy's 5 year deal at almost $9 million a year and Troy Murphy's at almost $10 million a year and you're basically comparing a franchise that has a clue to one that doesn't. We won't even get into Foyle's deal.

How do you think Gooden's contract stacks up against Dunleavy's and Murphy's? Should he be getting more money?
