Drew Gooden, who was subject to trade rumors before February's trade deadline, says he would like to remain in Cleveland.

"I want to be a Cavalier," Gooden said. "This is my favorite year (in my career). I did my job when I was out there. That most attractive thing is we won. I want to be on a winning team."

He also wants to get paid according to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, and the power forward could ask for as much as $7 million a season, with a maximum five-year contract.

"Of course, I'll keep my ear to the street," said Gooden.

"Drew did a great job for us," said Cavs GM Danny Ferry. "He's a big part of us winning 50 games. We're very interested in keeping Drew in our uniform."
