This one works on paper:
Dallas Trade Breakdown
Outgoing
Erick Dampier
6-11 C from Mississippi State
5.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 0.6 apg in 24.5 minutes
Incoming
Eddie Griffin
6-10 PF from Seton Hall
5.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 0.7 apg in 19.4 minutes
Michael Olowokandi
7-0 C from Pacific
6.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 0.5 apg in 24.0 minutes
Change in team outlook: +6.1 ppg, +4.2 rpg, and +0.6 apg.
Minnesota Trade Breakdown
Outgoing
Eddie Griffin
6-10 PF from Seton Hall
5.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 0.7 apg in 19.4 minutes
Michael Olowokandi
7-0 C from Pacific
6.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 0.5 apg in 24.0 minutes
Incoming
Erick Dampier
6-11 C from Mississippi State
5.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 0.6 apg in 24.5 minutes
Minnesota's supposedly looking to move Olowakandi, and wants to get better--perhaps they believe Damp will be better alongside Garnett (I know, wishful thinking on my part). We dump Damp & his contract, and get another underachieving--and less expensive--center back, along with a nice young player in Griffin. Doubt Minnesota'd part with him, but it was the only way I could realistically make a deal work without getting too crazy.
