I really think you're overreacting to Isiah's latest trades. He picked up a 2 year contract and a 3 year contract, and only the latter extends past the HoustonShandon watermark. He also disavowed interest in Webber. Maybe he was just blowing smoke, but if IT really did make a conscious decision to avoid CWebb like the plague, what makes you think he'll be going after a Dampier type player?

Tom.. I'm just having some fun but I picked Dampier because Isiah tried very hard to get him and sign him to EXACTLY the same contract he has right now.

I wasnt as down on the Dampier prospect as more. Yes he would have been overpaid, but we would have been overpaying for a player we had a desperate need for. Dampier has faults but he's 10X the player Nazr is. He's a solid defender and rebounder and can block shots as well.

Dampier is making $2mm LESS than Mo Taylor. Who would you rather have?

I did not want dampier at all, i was one of the detractors of that deal. those Huge numbers, his age and underachieving ways had me scared to death... I can almost guarantee, that he will be with dallas for the length of his contract.

I don't think Isiah wants Damp now. We have to move forward not backwards. I would be more interested in a young center right now.

Overreacting is probably an understatement. Taking one extra season of a contract for Malik Rose is really a trade that has such a minimal impact that I'm surprised anyone cares to write more than one sentence on the trade.

Yet another move that in all my desperation for us to get a big, I supported. Dampier isn't what we need, but would be better than nazzy yes. I am soooo glad we didn't get him, though. Props to those who remained calm.

But hey, I wanted us to get Jerome James & Olowakandi too. I just know we need a big and I figure, those guys are big so lets ge them. they are big, but they suck, and would be little more than 6 fouls and a heavy contract.


Bonn good point about the Rose contract, it really is meaningless, its not like he makes 12 million or something. The press made a really big deal about it though, I mean they dissed him on TNT, ESPN, all of the NY papers, they hammered him o now its like official logic that the trades were bad.

...unless there is another move in store. Has anyone read in the article where a writer hypothesized that getting those picks was so we could give one up to get Larry Brown? How would people feel about that? I like him better than Phil Jackson, and I think he could make Steph better, which would in turn make our whole team better.
