Rockets sign Dampier.

I still don't understand why Miami wasn't interested.  He's got to be a better option for them than playing Joel Anthony and Jamaal Magliore, or forcing Bosh to play the 5.  They at least need another six hard fouls against Shaq and Dwight Howard.

I agree - and this opens the door for them to cut magloire and sign him now.

If they don't, clearly there's a reason we aren't aware of regarding Dampier's health, most likely

I wonder which side decided not to go through with the deal.

It is sounding like Dampier must have some sort of injury. Or have gotten into a cheeseburger eating contest with Baron Davis.
