Let the feel good story continue...

The frontcourt is filling out nicely.
Wouldn't mind a young piece to build around but we're looking good for the immediate future.

EG playing with house money now...
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Love what Gooden brought to the team last year. Hopefully he can do that for the entire season.

Milwaukee is still paying him $6.6 million+ so it is probably for the minimum.

Watching him get all up in West's head early in that Pacers series was a thing of beauty.

He definitely earned another year. Thanks to the Bucks for paying the rest of his salary.

Excited to get him back provided valuable minutes off the bench and stepped up when Nene was injured.

Awesome! Another great move from Ernie this offseason. Now please add a third PG and a proven shooter =)

Cool, he had some great games at the end of last year. Happy about this.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Glad to have him back. He definitely earned it last season. Love having some depth for once.
