To say nothing of what the players' relative performances might look like in the future, as opposed to in the past, or how Gortat might look in Dallas as opposed to Orlando...weren't there times when Diop himself was a better player for us than Damp?
The notion that Gortat is automatically a hands down better option than Damp is patently absurd. We're talking about a guy who has played in 69 NBA games and has played 24+ minutes in a game SIX TIMES.

Looking into the future I have hopes for Gortat. We need a center to take over for Damp when he leaves. I'm not down on the signing. But the idea that people think so low of Damp that a center that has proven NOTHING in this league is automatically an upgrade boggles my mind.

And are YOU chastising ME for beating a dead horse? Really?
