Gasol doesn't complement Dirk's game.
Gasol is a finesse player, and a scorer at that. While he is a decent rebounder, he is not a particularly good defender, and he is zero as a physical presence. Gasol is a nice player, and I enjoy watching him play, but for anyone suggesting that he is a good fit for the current vintage Mavs,......uh-uh.
Dampier, for all his faults and weaknesses, is a far better complementary player to Dirk than Gasol would ever be.
