Maybe, I stress maybe if it is last minute.
Gooden is a truly solid player, but he is not a star, and often plays too emotionally.
He is not going to get you past Duncan, Dirk, KG, Dwight Howard or even Amare for that matter.
I don't know if Miller does either, but I think he is the better option and brings the better dynamic to the Nets as long as he stays healthy.
Gooden probably is not going to get you past a KG or Howard, but I'm positive Brad Miller won't. Gooden is 5 years younger, more athletic, a superior defensive player and significantly cheaper than Miller. Honestly the only advantage I see with Miller is that he's a "true center" but with Boone/Krstic/S. Williams is that really necessary?
Miller's numbers have been in decline for a while now plus he is set to make $23.6 million past this year.
