According to Yahoo Sports, the Milwaukee Bucks have reached agreement on a five-year, $32-million contract with free agent Drew Gooden.
Gooden has played for 8 different teams in 8-seasons and is looking for some stability with the Bucks.
The Bucks are still trying to work out a new deal with free agent John Salmons who played 30 games with Bucks last season, averaging 19.9 points a game.

The move means Salmons will be an unrestricted free agent tomorrow (Thursday) when NBA teams are allowed to begin contract discussions with free agents.
The Bucks say they remain very interested in re-signing the 6’6 shooting guard to a multi-year deal, after he averaged 19.9 points a game and was a key ingredient to the Bucks march to the playoffs.
