CLEVELAND -- There were no offer sheets, handshake agreements or broken promises. With two trades this week, the Cleveland Cavaliers eased the pain of losing Carlos Boozer.
Needing to find a replacement for Boozer and appease their fans, the Cavaliers acquired Drew Gooden in a four-player swap with Orlando on Friday.
Cleveland sent forward Tony Battie and two second-round draft picks to the Magic in exchange for Gooden, Brazilian rookie forward Anderson Varejao and 7-foot center Steven Hunter.
Gooden should help Cleveland offset the stunning departure of Boozer, who bolted as a free agent when he signed a six-year, $68 million offer sheet with Utah last week.
On Tuesday, the Cavaliers began their post-Boozer cleanup by acquiring guard Eric Snow in a trade with Philadelphia.
"This wasn't done to make a splash," said general manager Jim Paxson, who has been criticized for the Boozer debacle. "This is good for the short-term and the long-term. This has been a very positive week. We've moved forward."
Paxson said he began talks in Las Vegas last weekend about acquiring the rights to Varejao when Gooden's name was thrown into the mix.
While the 6-foot-10, 242-pound Gooden isn't quite as good as Boozer, he's young, talented and inexpensive. He'll make $3.2 million next season and the Cavaliers can pick up a $4 million option for 2005-06 by Oct. 31.
Gooden averaged 11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds in 79 games -- 17 starts -- for the Magic last season. Drafted with the No. 4 overall pick in 2002 by Memphis, Gooden was traded by the Grizzlies to Orlando during his rookie year.
Gooden's raw talents had the Magic believing he could be a big man to build around.
The former Kansas star capped the 2002-03 season by averaging 14 points and 12.7 rebounds in a seven-game playoff series against Detroit in which he outplayed Pistons star center Ben Wallace.
The Magic signed free agent Juwan Howard before last season, hoping he and Gooden could play together. However, the experiment was quickly shelved, and Gooden was sent to the bench.
"Drew came back in the beginning of last year and found Juwan (Howard) in his spot," Magic GM John Weisbrod said. "I think even Drew would say he didn't deal with it as well as he could've or should've."
Still, Gooden recorded a team-high 18 double-doubles, 23 fewer than Boozer got for the Cavaliers.
Gooden's already got a good friend in Cleveland, Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia.
"It's awesome," Sabathia said. "I've known him since we were 12 years old."
Paxson, who wants to add another big man, wouldn't guarantee Gooden a spot in the starting lineup. The GM isn't concerned about Gooden being traded twice in just three years or that he's been labeled a "soft" player.
"There are other reasons why players get moved, but I don't believe it's because of his talent level," Paxson said.
Orlando, which lost a league-high 61 games last season, has been overhauled since Weisbrod was hired as general manager in March. Of the 15 players, active and injured, on the roster when the Magic ended the season, only five remain.
"The players that we had assembled and the team we had assembled, obviously, wasn't a very good one," Weisbrod said. "If you want to make the team better, I guess it's a natural byproduct that you end up changing a lot of faces."
Battie was a solid defender and role player in Cleveland, averaging 5.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in 50 games after coming over in a December trade from Boston.
Varejao and Hunter can also help the Cavaliers recover from losing Boozer, the club's leading rebounder last season.
The 6-foot-10 Varejao was drafted by the Magic with the first pick in the second round in last month's draft. He averaged 7.7 points and 5.0 rebounds for F.C. Barcelona last season.
Utah Jazz: Free agent Jarron Collins re-signed with the Jazz on Friday.
The 6-foot-11 center has spent all three of his NBA seasons in Utah, which picked him out of Stanford in the second round of the 2001 draft. Terms of the multiyear deal were not released.
Collins, 25, has started 103 of the 176 he's played for the Jazz. He missed much of his second season with a knee injury, but came back last season and took over the starting job when Greg Ostertag struggled with inconsistency down the stretch.
Collins has career averages of 6.1 points and 3.9 rebounds and likely completes the Jazz's offseason moves for forwards and centers.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Fred Hoiberg, a key backup for the Wolves last season, signed a multi-year contract to return, the club announced Friday.
Terms of the deal weren't released, and Hoiberg's agents didn't immediately return a phone call.
Hoiberg averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 79 games, including a career-best 46.5 percent shooting. He was especially valuable when Wally Szczerbiak spent much of the season on the disabled list.
Last season was his first with the Wolves after stints with Indiana and Chicago.
Sacramento Kings: Forward Darius Songaila re-signed with the team.
Songaila averaged 4.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in 78 games during his rookie season, making seven starts. He became a valuable reserve for the Kings, who acquired his rights from the Boston Celtics last summer.
Songaila, who played in Russia in 2002-03 after a stellar career at Wake Forest, was a restricted free agent. Terms of his new contract weren't disclosed.
哥連斯,海保,桑加拿re-sign :icon032:

又Snow又Gooden,迫我捧騎士姐即係 :(:icon065:
Battie+Cato比起近年打過Magic既任伺center都強 :icon023:
Gooden可望有更佳演出
佢上年都無乜機會 :(
我覺得Magic會後悔.... :rolleyes:
Gooden係時侯顯身倥價:mad:
Cavs 話咁快找到人找替Boozer,
不過如果Gooden 打得好, Cavs記住要pick up Team option 喇 :icon101:

前年playoff力抗大班(14.0ppg,12.7rpg)己顯出佢既能力 ;)
上年Magic係Candyman同候活之間揀左候活,結果壓縮左Gooden既上陣機會 :(
騎士比人昆姐.... :icon064:
