After being acquired last week from the Orlando Magic in a deal involving Tony Battie, the former number 4 pick in the 2002 NBA draft is excited to make a new start for the Cav?s.  Gooden is expected to pick up where Carlos Boozer left off.

?I can honestly say I look forward to playing with this team, from my heart I can say that,'' Gooden said. ``Boozer is a great guy, unfortunately he couldn't be here this year. But it opened a door for me.''
