Team option declined, becomes unrestricted free agent
The Wizards chose not to pick up Gooden's $3.54 million team option for the 2016-17 season, making him an unrestricted free agent, Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gooden's contract for the upcoming season would have become guaranteed on July 15, but following an injury-plagued season in which he logged just 30 appearances and 10.2 minutes per game, the Wizards didn't view him as part of their plans. Now 34, the well-traveled Gooden could latch on with a squad looking to add some experience in the frontcourt, but he's unlikely to see much playing time regardless of where he lands.

There aren't many players remaining from the 2002 NBA Draft. Drew Gooden is one of a handful who has held onto their reserve role to have a longer career. Mike Dunleavey, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Caron Butler are among the other members of that draft to survive. The 6-10 power forward is the definition of an NBA vagabond. He has not remained at any one destination for longer than four seasons and has now played for 10 different teams. Gooden is entering his third season with the Wizards and has found a comfortable bench role with the team. He played 17 minutes in 51 games (seven starts) and averaged 5.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 0.4 steals, and 0.2 blocks. Gooden has developed a three-point shot in his late career and hit 39 percent of his long range shots for 0.5 treys per game last season. In the playoffs, Gooden stayed in the rotation and provided 6.8 points, 1.2 three-pointers, and 5.5 rebounds as the team advanced to the conference semifinals. In the new season, Gooden should remain in the mix for power forward minutes with Nene Hilario and Kris Humphries.
