let the race for mediocrity begin/dampier signing

[houheffna]

Big centers push around Noah a bit, he is a good rebounder and its our biggest advatage now. A healthy dampier is their best center, we won't game plan him but it is a problem.

I think you are over analyzing that a bit. A healthy Dampier is an old Dampier that the Mavs had an easy time replacing and the Heat didn't want. Again, nothing to be afraid of, Noah getting "pushed around a bit" is not a concern in that situation.

He was replaced by Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood. Neither are slouchs, its not like he got replaced by Kurt Thomas. I think Dampier has the ability to give them a good strong 20mpg. Its not something to game lan around but he certainly would have an impact and minimize our advantage.
