This, from the Insider aritcle NBA Trading Block Western Conference. Of course this is not to suggest that a deal is even remotely in the works or even being talked about, but, well, at least one other non-Knicks person thinks the Warriors and the Knicks will do a deal.
Erick Dampier
Contract: 5 years, $37.3 million left
Issues: Oops, I did it again. It's hard to tell Dampier and Adonal Foyle apart except for the fact that Foyle blocks twice as many shots. And that's a lot when you're 7-foot and not putting up double-digits in points or boards. The Warriors would part with either one if they could but since Foyle costs them about $2 million less a year, well, you do the math.
Suitors: OK . . . who needs a seven-footer who doesn't necessarily score, rebound or defend well but can always anchor a team picture from the middle of the second row? We know. New York.
Foyle would be a better backup in NY. Plus, Dampier has been severely injured the past two seasons, we wouldn't want him or his long contract.
