Good defense, good rebounding, a mean streak, no ego. While they'd be better with Damp than with who they have now, he is so incredibly poor defensively (esp. on rotations and help) that I'd throw a signing party in Boston for him going to Miami. The only thing is that his hands are still good enough to catch and score unopposed down low, which will make it harder to help off of him. But good defense--not in years, if ever.I think you're totally wrong on this one. Dampier is a good defender, and a very good rebounder. Yep. Good defender and rebounder. And he's physically strong and tough. I was counting on being able to bully Miami's front line. Dampier won't be bullied.

Quote from: slamtheking on September 14, 2010, 07:05:10 PMsmart move for Dampier if he does it. best shot at a title he'll get in what little playing time he has left.I agree - but I hope a team (like the Cavs, for instance) who basically has no starting center makes him a 3X bigger offer than the Heat can, so we can see if money > the chance at a title in South Beach...

What about the Hawks? Did they sign anyone after they gave up on getting Shaq?

I hope someone else gives him a lot of money.He would become their starting C. Some real defensive beef to go next to Bosh. A big body to throw at the other top team with size (Boston, Orl, Lakers)
Ugh.....Well there goes my hope that front court depth would kill them.
